Default why cant i find a shop

I am getting kinda frustrated. I can't find a freakin shop that has a dyno in San Antonio. I dont feel like driving out of the city to do this either. Any one know, or am I SOL?

Ya I've heard OF them before, I didn't know they were located here though, thats cool. I do hear the shop is also sorta expensive, but they're the best? What will their dyno tuning do for me? I'm not exactly sure what to ask for.... I want to help out my gas milage but also increase my performance for the most part. Do I just ask them to "tune" my car or what? and they'll soop it up? If you've worked with them before, or your friend, did he mention how much it costs?

i havent had any work done there yet, i do everything myself that i can. once it comes time to get a tune i will be goin there, i've heard it's around 500 for the first tune because of the computer chip that gets burned, but im not 100% on that

Okay I'll give them a call. Isn't that a little TOO pricey? A ton of people on here say they get 4 dyno runs and a tune for around 100 bucks.

Yeaaaa...550 for first tune, then you can come back if you have done some more mods for a retune at 250.. anyone is this too much for a tune?

if you don't already have a handheld tuner/chip then no its not expensive since you have to pay @$380 just for that...then figure another 100-200 to get the tune/dyno time.
