Default Great vendor

I am having my vett tuned by Chuck from Corvetts of Winchester. If you have never delt with him, you are missing out. Last Friday we started the process, and he spent so much of his time with me. Started with a program issue and he was up until 2 am getting it resolved. Then Saturday morning he called me early to get the tuning going. He walks you through every step no matter how long it takes. His time is very valuable and he treats his customers with what ever it takes to make sure that your tune is perfect. I set first tune into car and then did a driving data record to him. A couple hous later the phone rings and said here is the first adjust to the tun. He reads the results and keeps getting the car better. This went on 4 times on Sat. and it just got better each time. Sent him one last data recording Sat night, then Sunday Chuck called in the morning and one more tune adjustment. Loaded that and it was scary how much power,he woke up the car.

What he did was a cow boost, engine tune, and my a4 trans tune.
My car is a 1997 with 130,000 mile. I had a Dino tune a couple years ago and that was a joke. This man spent many hours working a getting the car perfect.

I am so impressed that I had to tell all of you that have been on the fence about his tuning program. Go for it, you will not be able to get the smile off your face and the skid marks out of you shorts.

Have never heard any bad words said about Chuck's work. Awesome that he was able to spend that much time with you and got it just right.

Great to here. I think a road tune is the bomb. Takes time and someone who's willing to do it.

When you stand on it the trans shifts so fast and smooth and can feel all the power.

It is plug and play, and sending files via e-mail to Chuck and phone calls.

Go to the scan and tune section there is an ad about it or just give Chuck a call at 914-332-0049. He will take good care of you.
