Tunehouse - Marrickville

[Sean W]

Since i've joined i often see threads with people asking about good workshops etc. and i too initially found it hard to decide where to take my car. Its hard because the forum rules say we cant say anything negative but i'm a big believer in credit where credit is due so i wanted to share my experience with Tunehouse here in Sydney.

First of all i'm in no way affiliated with Tunehouse, i don't get any discounts and when Jim was booked out on the dyno i waited my turn like everyone else.

My car had a turbo rebuild, clutch rebuild and half a dozen or so other bolt on parts fitted recently and i had all the work done at Tunehouse after hearing good things from a friend of mine with a similar car. My first impression was a ridiculously clean workshop (who paints a workshop floor almost white>>!!) with blokes that always say hi and are happy to just have a chat.

For every part i wanted the intended power level and use of the car was taken into account and Tony was happy to explain things to me that i probably should have already known!! I was given 2 or 3 options at differing price levels for each part and Jim, the owner and tuner, recommended the cheaper option to me for a couple of parts as they were more appropriate for my goals; which i really think shows how genuine this guy is.

The tune is beautiful. The car makes the power i wanted with a good strong curve, starts cold every time, idles flat and partial throttle and Sydney traffic driving is all dealt with without a fuss. Me having my car back just how i wanted it makes me so happy and i just wanted to share that with you all. If anyone wants to discuss what i paid then please ask via pm.

When you see this workshop and see how these guys look after their own cars, you'll know why i felt happy to leave my pride and joy in their hands. A massive thankyou to Jim, Tony, Tim and the boys at Tunehouse!

Top stuff - good to see another happy member with their cars and a workshop!

so what power you make?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

That's not a workshop, that's a freaken show room!

I think from what you just said, I might just bring my car there too.. it needs a new clutch and I can't be bother doing it myself.

[J34]

Haha I was thinking the same thing it looks like a show room.

Good to see they did a good job and your happy with it. So does this mean your bringing it to the next texi?

[tim@tunehouse]

Hey Sean, thanks for the kind words. Your car has undergone quite a transformation since we first saw it and it has been very satisfying for both myself and the team here to be a part of it.

We are very happy you are satisfied with the work we performed and we look forward to working with you in the future.....

Cheers,

Tim and the team @ Tunehouse

Deja Vu eh?

Good stuff Sean! Now go rip a skid!

[STATUS]

very impressive shop, i have dyno room envy that shop alone is responsible for me moving into another premises which allows me to build a room like that ...

[Liz]

great to hear Sean! Love hearing good stories about workshops!

[l_uk3y]

Wow. That is one of the most impressive dyno rooms Ive ever seen. You know someone takes their business serious when you see something like that.

Glad to hear you have a great result. Always good to hear of quality workshops.

Do you see the woman in the red dress in the matrix code there, I do - shes a hottie

Yeah, nice dyno room and glad to hear you are getting good results first time round. I had to make my way through three shops before I got a decent result.

No I found her in the other window on my browser. That code is insane. Love it. Infact. Misspost of the year.

I'm getting them to do the work and tuning on my xr6 turbo when I'm ready later this year, they have an excellent reputation - one of the few i havent heard anything bad about. I got a service done by them after I got the car and I was shocked when they called me and said we can do this, this, etc and spend a lot of cash but its only because they were so thorough and they told me what i needed and what I could always do later. Never had that anywhere else.

They're not the cheapest shop around but for those guys who are more interested in quality and service it's well worth dropping by to check out the place.

I don't trust workshops that are as clean as Tunehouse, it irks me!

they're workshop is literally cleaner then my living room

Besides the absolute cleanliness of their working conditions and ability to tune nearly every ECU under the sun, I can't comment, never taken my car there

[CARSICK]

^^^ Now they just have to clean the surrounding buildings at #13 & #9 > and then the rest of Chalder St

Efficient Wk > Great reputation.

[tim@tunehouse]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. We do take our tuning very seriously here and as such we keep the dyno cell and the entire workshop immaculate at all times.

Cheers, Jim Ghelis, Tim, and the Tunehouse team.
