For reference, AMS charges $395 for an initial tune via EcuFlash, and it doesn't matter if it takes one hour or five. Subsequent tunes are $225. They also charge $75 for 3 dyno pulls.

Agreed. However, Reese needs to be careful that he doesn't price himself out of the market. Having just opened his business, I am sure he has a lot of expenses and is trying to generate revenue, but the approach of charging a little bit less for his services and having more customers often leads to better profits in this industry.

I am willing to bet that Reese's prices are going to drop within the first 6 months of operation simply because he isn't going to get enough customers at those prices. I am not hating against him at all, but simply stating that his prices are a bit high...no matter what city/state/country you live in.

Please do not mis-understand what I am trying to say about your prices. I am by no means trying to state that your prices are way too much and that you are trying to rip people off. That obviously isn't the case here. I am simply trying to give some advice about your pricing schema. Another way to look at your pricing is that you start off a little bit lower, build a stable clientele, and gradually increase your prices.
There are various business models that you can employ. I wish you the best of luck with your new business and look forward to visiting your shop.

James, I look forward to being there for Dyno Day!
I'm glad to finally have a legit shop right here in SD, without having to be forced to drive over an hour just to get a good Evo shop (Not that I've had to, thanks to Alan...)
IMO I'd rather pay a bit more HERE, than drive all that way just to pay a little less. In the end it evens out I'd say

If the abilities of the tuner are the same, then I would agree with that statement. However, we all know that there are ****ty tuners, good tuners, and the best tuners. I'd rather pay more to have the best tuner tune my car. I have no idea what James' tuning abilities are, but I would imagine they are at least good. If they are ****ty his business won't last 6 months. If they are really good, then he can develop a "sort of niche" tuning shop here in SD and has the potential to make some loyal/happy customers and make a good profit at the same time.
