Hi,

I was directed here by a fellow member on NASIOC.

My car 02 WRX sedan
Bolt ons, OTS Cobb tuned

I just moved to Monterey Ca from Florida. I don't know anyone out here and wanted to get some recommendations on who you guys use for service/maintenance/performance/tuning?
My car is running like **** even on the 91ACN map. I just had a compression test done with good numbers so I was interested in possibly getting tuned out here and having some other work done. Any help or recommendations is really appreciated. Thanks!!!

 

I'm from Monterey originally and there are really no good tuners in the immediate area. You pretty much have to travel to the Bay Area or SoCal to get a good tune.

 

Your gonna need to drive north to GST Motorsports in Hayward for a tune and mods. The owner Mike is a good guy

 

yup, when i had my 04 sti, i got tuned by mike at gst. Car lasted 175k miles when i sold it

 

Ok great I'll look into GST. Thanks for the responses. Any other recommendations are welcome.

 

well for mods and service/maintenance you can always visit Adam at aamotorworks in Mountain view he a little closer then mike but for tunes GST is your closest place.

 

I really appreciate the replies. It looks like I have two great options. Just really sucks they are so far away and not open on weekends. Thanks again for the help!

For tuning there are none. I'd go to mike at GST or Travis at Snail. It's a drive but it's worth it.

For maintenance if you're trying to stay close check out Rick's in santa cruz. It's just a auto shop, not a performance shop. But he's good and priced fair. He know subarus.

Or just make the drive out to one of the shops that you're gonna have tune it and have them work on it.

I think Speed Element is gonna be your closest performance shop.

 

Perfect. Rick's sounds like a good place to get regular maintenance done that I can't do myself. And I'm def going to check out GST to get a tune. Thanks!!!
