Im going to start this thread so all us members as a collective can post our reviews / experiences with all the different companies, vendors and shops out there . The point is for us members to find the best service pricing customer service and products being offered out there . And also get real world input from other members! GOOD OR BAD POST IT UP !


pro-spec auto sport in Quincy ,MA - ran into them on ebay . I picked up a beautiful set of wheels from them . They quickly answered all my questions . Responded to any concerns within a great time frame and not only confirmed the wheels would fit they test fitted them on a customers car and sent me pictures and videos of them. AWESOME!!! Highly recommend these guys !

autotalent.com - Google searching for the HKS adjustable springs they popped up . They had a discount code and already were the best priced out there. I place a order being a little unsure as ive never used them before . Boy did they prove me wrong in 2 DAYS !!! I had my springs at my doorstep . 2DAYS!! From ordering I received instant confirmation and invoice details. The next day first thing boom tracking number. I about fell over when I saw they would be delivered the next day almost didn't believe it. AWESOME ! can't thank you guys enough best price and fastest shipping for sure! Check them out

Extreme Power House - Searching for the hks dry suction intake I came across a thread they left a comment on advertising they had them for the best price shipped. I sent a email that night inquiring about the intake and soon to be hks charge pipe. I didn't hear something back right away so I said fuck it Im going to place an order for the intake so im not left sitting on my hands watching everyone else post up there new beautiful hks intakes. Placed the order got confirmation right away and another email saying they'd update when they shipped. Next day I finally got a response to my original question but informed them I already went ahead and ordered the intake. No biggie these smaller companies get busy totally understandable. A day or 2 later I get a email from them stating there is a delay on the intake and politely offers either waiting for the piece and keeping your place in line or a refund. Very nice of them . I responded to keep my place and wait it out. they got back with a confirmation to that in a timely manner and im still waiting for the intake at this point as they are due I believe in a couple weeks. I will post an update once I receive it. Overall good experience just a little slower on customer questions . no biggie

Soho Motorsports in NC - I called in the am and was talking to some one after a couple rings. They were awesome answered all my questions gave me rough estimates and helped me with any additional information I needed. They were so awesome I making a 8hr drive there to have my car tuned via ecutek . Cant wait to visit their shop and praise them for their amazing customer service and help. Thanks GUYS!! Definitely check them out !! you will not be disappointed

RT Tuning in PA - Holy shit talk about a different story. Very polite and Nice on the phone however I still have yet to receive a estimate . I originally called about a quote on spring install and alignment . They had to look it up and would email me a quote? weird should be a pretty easy rate to quote. Well 4 days later I call back to ask them about ecutek tuning and have them ad that to the quote. The gentleman I spoke to told me he'd inform the guy originally quoting me for the springs and they would get me the quote. They did inform me they had a lot of quotes to do so they were a little backed up and thats why its taking a bit. Call me old fashion but this is just not stellar customer service. I decided ok well I guess ill still get the quote but at that point I had pretty much decided I should go elsewhere. update 9/15 - had great email correspondence with David over at r/t . He emailed me my estimate which was on the higher end of others I received . Due to the time frame I had already booked with another shop . However when I informed him of the price difference and other reasons why I had booked elsewhere he was nothing but appreciative of the info and asked for more details to improve their operation. He mentioned he would bring up the pricing in a meeting and some the other stuff I mentioned. He also encouraged me to reach out for other jobs as he would always try to price match or beat competitors pricing. I definitely would like to note that this extra customer support is greatly appreciated even though we couldn't come together on the job in a manner that worked for me.

Import Intelligence in PA - after a yelp search and hearing about them locally called about my Supra to get hks adjustable springs installed .So called to ask about adjustable springs install after seeing that as their advertised services on their website. Was told that they donā€™t do that there ? Itā€™s something I can do in my driveway in probably 6 hrs with a low pro jack . I was trying to save time by taking it to a professional shop with a lift and air tools but was turned away not sure how you can say your import specialist and canā€™t install adjustable hks spring on a new Supra ! Gave 2 stars because the person on the phone recommended another shop possibly to try . STEER CLEAR

Penn Muffler & Brake Pennsauken Nj - Another Yelp find After reading the reviews I thought great let me give them them a call to discuss a custom exhaust on a Supra . The first gentleman I spoke to on the phone was helpful and very polite . So why I was in the area the following day I decided to stop in so I could get a more exact quote as instructed by the first guy I spoke to on the phone . This is where my 1 star comes from . I walk in to a grumpy ass old man sitting at the counter who doesnā€™t even greet me until I stand in front of the window for a minute. Then in the same grumpy attitude address me. I explain I called yesterday and how I had talked to someone previously and because I couldnā€™t remember the name shrugs me off as Iā€™m trying to explain the job. ā€œOk sorry I canā€™t remember his name but I did speak to a gentlemen here about the jobā€ with out saying anything slides a pink pad and pen through the window . Fill this out itā€™ll be a hour atleast 4 ahead of you . I say just for a quick estimate if you guys can do the job ? Yea - his one word answer. Well I didnā€™t Have a hour to wait before it even gets put on a lift . So I pushed the pad back and said Iā€™ll have to come back . Then this guy rudely says well on a day you have the time then come back . Ludicrous response to ever address a customer in that tone . You never know what your customers day or time or work is . I own a business and would fire one of my employees for addressing a client that way and at the same time losing out on a decently expensive job. Iā€™d never trust my car being cared for the way it should after dealing with this guys attitude. I canā€™t say anything about their work because I never made it that far but no way in hell am Iā€™m leaving one of my vehicles with a company who treated me the way I was . Not willing to take a chance on that same crappy attitude going into the handling of a brand new car that should be treated with care .

Sports Car Tire Wilmington DE - Went to these guys for tires for my new wheels. Man loved the vibes of a old tire shop but they also have the new tech as well. Immediate assistance super helpful . Took tons of time helping me find the right tire for the best price. (actually beat tire racks pricing) If you guys are in the area and need some tires check these guys out you will not be disappointed!!

Ok thats it for now ill add more experiences as they come. To all the members that have experiences good or bad post them up . Lets create a great thread with tons of information for us members to get the best service and best pricing and best products available . Take Care Drive safe burn that rubber up and enjoy our A90's!

Extreme Power House - (update) Great people over there . I spoke to Thaddeus on the phone about my 2 recent orders . The hks intake and also the injen power package. Unfortunately time wise it wasn't going to work for me but they were more then happy to refund me with out any re stocking fees . It sucks I wasn't going to be able to get the parts in the time frame that worked for me and my tuning schedule , but I have to give them credit for understanding and making it right. I really want to highlight Thaddeus' customer service and if anyone from extreme power house reads this make sure he receives praise for his awesome customer service. I knew the hks intake was going to take a while but the injen package I ordered I was disappointed was not in stock and wouldn't be shipped from anywhere between 5 - 10 business days. I have to say though their price was unbeatable . If I could make any suggestions possibly adding a function to know what parts are in stock and what are being dropped shipped so we can know what shipping time line we are looking at.

AFE POWER https://afepower.com - after ordering abut 3 different charge pipes and calling multiple companies about actual items in stock . AFE came to the rescue . I contacted them via instagram initially about their exhaust but was updated they had sold their last unit . Which helped me not order one I saw advertised elsewhere and be stuck waiting for a unit that wouldn't be in stock for a while. I ended up receiving news my injen charge pipe order would not be filled due to injen not having them until the 30th of the month if even by then. So I shot AFE another message on IG and with in a hour they responded and confirmed they had both their red and black charge pipes on the shelf ready to ship. I asked them about price matching as ebay and another vendor had them listed cheaper. They informed me the pricing they were showing must be a mistake on their end however they offered me a coupon to get me within 20$ of the other listings I sent them screen shots of. I called in to place my order and was directed by the sales associate to use the online order as I had the promo code and it had to be used there. They also saved me another 25$ because he was able to inform me that Fedex would update the 1day shipping to 2 day no matter what because I was on the other coast. He also was able to inform me of their pick up timeline so I knew when to expect it to ship out. Very awesome of them!! I got off the phone placed my order online and got my confirmation right away. The next am had a shipping update my pipe was on the way. I want to thank AFE for their exceptional customer service and also their timely responses. They really came to the rescue and gave me the best deal they could . Id highly recommend other members check them out as they are company you can trust . Thanks AFE !!!

Can't really say I had the same "great" experience with them. NO return emails and NO return phone calls (goes to a voicemail system to call you back) to check on an order I placed 2 weeks ago that still has NOT shipped.

Call during the times the automated message says and it will place your number into a que . They will call you back that day even if itā€™s after their work time . I got a call around 7pm est when I had called them during the correct que times. If you donā€™t call during the times the auto message says it doesnā€™t place your number in the que to call back . Iā€™ve gotten 3 return calls on 3 different occasions using that method. Hope it works out for you

Good to know , this is why I started this thread so all members could post their correspondence with vendors and shops here . Maybe we can get @Extreme Power House to see this and address your issue !

Mighty Muffler in Claymont DE - Absolutely Awesome ! It's hard trusting a shop you haven't been to before with a brand new car but these guys are awesome ! I dropped of a 2021 Supra for a custom fabbed exhaust and hks lowering kit and they knocked it out of the park . Customer service - awesome , fair pricing- awesome, facility-awesome, craftsmanship- awesome . If you are looking for anything exhaust or automotive related definitely hit them up they will not disappoint. From the time I called to inquire about the jobs to when I picked the car up they were nothing but helpful and courteous. Yelp is currently displaying the wrong address it will take you to a different shop on the corner down the road about 7 lights . Their correct address is 3207 Philadelphia pike , Claymont De . Luckily the other shop directed me to their correct location . Want to personally thank everyone there for taking care of my pride and joy and taking her to the next level definitely will be a life time customer !

STM Tuned - NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

So I placed the order back in August when I bought the car, first mod order

They didn't send any shipping notifications for 5 days, sent them an email, never heard back so I emailed to cancel the order, never heard back so opened a dispute with AMEX

They finally replied to my emails saying some BS about T&Cs for international shipping, none of the items in stock they'd have to get them in and because I opened a dispute that it would take 30 days to get a refund, so I cancelled the dispute and told them clearly to cancel/refund my order

Then after 1 month of no communication again, they just said the items had shipped, no warning or emails and I had already bought and received the same items from elsewhere.

So I could have refused the shipment when it arrived and lost the $350 I paid for postage or just accept it and try to resell locally which is what I'm doing...

Total waste or time, money and energy with this company. Other people have had good experiences but many have had the same experience as me and their communication is the worst. Can't call either it just rings out.

Feel cheated and swindled a bit because I did the right thing by them to cancel the dispute but they didn't stand by their words and cancel/refund my order, they just sent it anyway.

Visconti Tuning - Awesome ! I was getting set to get tuned by sohomotorsports and they sent me the ecutek bundle to double check my ecu was unloackable first since I have a 2021 supra. It was not even though my door build date was 6/20. I saw on the forum that Visconti had just unlocked some A91's so I sent him a message via FB . Within minutes I got a response back . Not only was John amazingly helpful in answering all my questions he went above and beyond helping me get everything set up. He sent me a video on how to easily remove my ecu to check the manufacture date. And walked me through any other questions I had regarding licenses and ecutek. Within the hour from originally writing him I had my ecu removed , packaged , label in my Email and a Fedex pickup scheduled . I mean come on that is nothing but sensational customer service . I got a call the next day just to confirm everything and to notify me that he was finishing up with me ecu and it would be back in the mail on its way back to me. If anyone has an A91 they want to get tuned they definitely should hit up Visconti Tuning . Simply an awesome experience , thanks so much for everything and all the help
