If you have an appointment for dyno tuning with us we will need to take the wheels off of your car.

Please note that if you have aluminum or magnesium lugs and do not have the key we can not provide this service and as a result will be unable to tune your car.

If you do not want to pay for any of the labor above in the event there is an issue with your car on the dyno and you feel you have the mechanical ability to fix the issue we will allow you to use the shop/tools to fix it. There will be an hourly charge for this of $75.00/hour.
