Default A Warning about using West Bend Dyno Tuning

I just wanted to warn local people who may be considering using West Bend Dyno Tuning to steer clear of this shop. You can look under my posts and see the numerous issues I had with my C7 Corvette after taking it to them.

They really are not well versed on the C7 Platform or the tuning, they caused me to have some very serious issues.

If you have a C7 Corvette I really recommend you look elsewhere, I no longer have a warranty on my car and all the repairs are mine from here on out based on the crappy work they did.

Go elsewhere and support some of the shops on this forum who really know what their doing.

Took my C5 with cam and other bolt-ons there for a dyno tune. I also recommend to stay far far away!

I recently started tuning my own car for lack of another place to take it and I have yet to see a single table the touched, everything appears stock when compared with a base tune from someone else. I also spent 2 hours and made huge improvements on idle and cam surge myself.

Tried to go back to West Bend Dyno but even talking to the owner was a complete waste and once they got my $600+ for the tune they suddenly couldn't make any time to make their "30 day tune adjustments for free".

STAY AWAY!!!

These guys are complete hacks when it comes to C7’s. I’ve spent over $4k fixing their shifty work, and that’s above the $4k I spent to have them install a Crawford 3 pump fuel system. The issues with Brad and the work performed are endless. They will not stand behind their work and the BS is never ending. Honestly, just do everything yourself and have Crawford Racing do a remote road tune. I wouldn’t let these clowns work on my busted lawnmower.
