Default Looking for a trustworthy tuner/mechanic

I live in the Lynnwood area and just picked up a 2010 Mustang V6 automatic. I'm curious if anyone knows a good shop to get parts, installation, and tuning done near me.

http://www.vtrperformance.com/ in Everett for installs and maintenance.

the mustang shop for tuning, though, I probably wouldn't bother tuning your six unless you are doing something drastic like supercharging. if anything, get a handheld tuner/intake combo and tune it yourself with a canned tune

I might supercharge it, but that would be like the last step if I decided to. I might just do everything but supercharge. Is handheld tuning fairly simple?

typically you get the tune pre-loaded on the device you purchase, and then you just load it into your ECU, it's super simple and a ~10 minute process.

BAMA / american muscle is a good source for this - you plug in all of your car information, and they cater the tune to it.

if you ever need an updated tune for a change in mods, it's as simple as transferring a new file to the device.
