There are some shops here in Tucson that do tunes, but I want to know if I have to take my own tuner or do they use their own? maybe I could save some cash by not buying by own and using theirs, is that possible for my 08 mustang?

Thanks.

Bumping this thread because I'd like to know the answer as well.

You would have to buy the tuner I believe. If I understand it correctly once the tune on a tuner is used on a car that tuner is locked for that car only and will stay locked until the tune is returned to the tuner.

I think it depends on their software.

I know that Sniper tuning has a shop package called "Delta Force" which comes with an unlimited amount of templates and car slots. So, if your shop had this package, I believe they could make and upload the tune to your car without you having to buy any additional software. However, if you ever wanted to make a change, they would need to make another tune and upload it for you.

^ Yea, it's possible but not practical for a lot of people.

I've always wondered how the costs compare though. How much does a "tune shop" charge for uploading a tune to your car?
