Dunno bro, i've been there, and had to go back twice, for "touch up tunes" and the problem never went away, i later found out myself it was a leaking injector. But tune wise, its perfect, so really the problem was my hardware, not their tune. Would defiantly go back

AVO are re locating their workshop and its going under new management very soon, new shop is in Hallam and the 2 main mechanics have taken it over. Jake tunes mine and needless to say he does a very professional job of it, if you want the best its going to cost you though. Dyno time is around $100 per hour rough price just about anywhere you go, if your just having the timing done and the air fuel ratio checked it shouldn't take much more than an hour or so, but as said above, depending if it needs plugs, leads or plugs gaped, that's where the extra cost is.

Why cant the "pro's" pick up things like this? because they dont care, thats why. its not their car, simple.... Just save your money and your time, go to RAJAB Don't kno wat happened there mate. Wat car did u take in? I will bring it up to him. Ben tunes and builds alot of massive powered cars n no problems. Plus danko is the v8 man. Again builds n tunes cars that owe people house deposits no problems. My cars are always spot on n only ever break diff's ect... EDIT: spoke to Ben about ur car dude. There is more to the story than wat ur telling. I would b very careful on wat u say bout tuners/shops. As there is alot of people that respect the shop ur bad mouthing Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

As there is alot of people that respect the shop ur bad mouthing whats the point in making a threat about someones opinion? everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if someone had a problem with a workshop/tuner and their car and they voice their opinion it is still only an opinion, no matter what car u own or build if its performance work your bound to hav problems with things... ive been through 4 or 5 workshops and have stuck with my latest as my opinion on them is perfection, will never go past the man, alan rajab, he has made my car the way it is if i hav problems no questions asked he goes over the car to sort it no matter what time of the day. to me thats customer satisfaction, not saying any other workshops dont do the same just i havnt experienced it anywhere else. mate goto a few workshops enquire and talk to them and whoever your happy with use them there is plenty of workshops out there Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I guess i may have been abit harsh, I do respect the boys at Addicted, they did a top tune on my car, but couldnt find a problem we had on boost. I didn't diss their ability to tune cars, im STILL USING the tune i got from them, and have had NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER now that the injector is fixed.

Bahaha. Don't just call go to the shop wit the car. Most shops want give u a quote as there is way to many variables. Like prior posted. But 88 chaser is rit ur average price is 100p/h on the dyno.

lol... you want someone off here to pluck a price out of the air that a work shop will charge you? We aren't the ones going to charge you for it so why would we give you a price?

I guess every one has good and bad to say about different tuners but i too vouch for Allen Rajab. He is a Doctor when it comes to vl turbos and he really knows what he is doing and also takes the time to explain what he is doing and has time for you unlike some others. i have been going there for a while now and have been very happy.

They have done a few tune sessions on my car and my mate who has a 2.3 stroker gtir pulsar is getting some stuff done to get a roadworth after a defect. He is also very very happy with them after having his car built at another local workshop with drama after drama. ramma
