Alright, I know T Wong is the guy but I can't seem to get an appointment SO I want to move on. How about Corvettes of Auburn? I live in Newberg Oregon and I don't have many options around here. Any other good options?

I've had Tommy do my initial tune after my h/c/I build but about 6 months later I had PRE off airport way in Portland retune it as it ran a bit rich. That was back in 2020 and it's fine since then. My car was tuned with HP tuners if that helps. The other option is Surgeline Tuning which my buddy now co owns and they are also licensed to tune with Hp tuners. In fact I'm heading there this Friday to put in a catted x pipe and corsa extreme.

I'm also in Newberg but your car profile looks familar. Are you Nick with the 17 GS? If so I've the the black C6z down the street.

That's me. I can check with surgeline.
I just called them and they told me they don't do that platform and referred me to TW. Thanks anyway.

So I had my C7 turned in Auburn. The tune went well but my experience with the organization of the establishment was a negative one. I was told to be there when they opened at 8am. We stayed in a hotel the night before ($170) be cause we live 4 hrs away. Got there at 8:10am and was told the tuner usually comes in at 9:30. He finally showed up at 11:30. At least the owner lent us his truck to go get lunch, very respectful for that but not happy with customer experience.

Dang what a crappy experience you had. On the flip side, how's the car running? Make good power and did you end up doing HpTuners?

Corvettes of Auburn? They're a terrible shop, a lot of Vette owners in the area have negative stories of them. I don't trust them at all.

Get Tom Wong to tune your car, and if he can't, then Carburetor Connection - they're punctual and professional.

No way @stingraynick75 and @SloC6Z06! Guess where I live?
I've seen a red/white '60-'62 driving around town on occasion, anyone know who that is?
