My experience with Cobb is limited to their open house events. That said, I was attending their open house events until I was told that they would not be developing for our platform as it does not come with boost from factory. That may have changed but I have not been back to find out.

All I've had done at cobb was an alignment only because they were the closest alignment place to Jack Junkies (where I did my suspension). ..

Ill be seeing the FRS next friday as the owner was not going to be in today. The FRS that Aaron has is running E85 and at ~360HP with a conservative tune for DD.

Known Aaron for a long time. Definitely knows his stuff.
I have to get over there sometime to see his FRS and show him my new BRZ.

That's a rather blanket statement. Why? They have done all my work on my firestorm and I have had zero issues this includes adding force induction. I'm just kinda curious as to what you found via your research. Feel free to pm me if you want.

Nevermind.. I'm not going to beat my head into a wall.
I'm sorry for what ever happened to you and what ever you found on the internet that must be true. I have had no issues and AWD stand by their work. I've been working with them for about a year now on my FRS. I hope you find a shop that you are pleased with CF6.

If you guys want a good account of the type of people at AWD then go talk to Kevin Dubois at Evolution Dynamics in Lewisville.

Oh yah.. no I wrote that because every response I had came across as sarcastic and combative. There's always 2 sides to every story and rarely do you hear both is all. I do like your questions tho so I will answer them because they are awesome!
What work have you had done at AWDTuning? FRS - 2 Tunes, Innovate Supercharger, Perrin 3 Inch Cat back, Body kit refit, Intercooler install, Fuel pump install, E85 Conversion Did you set up an appointment to drop off your car or just walk in? I've done both Did they give you a written estimate up front? Yes Did you pay more or less than the estimate? Did they call you to go over any price increases before incurring the expense? No Did they give you an estimate of when the work would be completed? Yes Was the work completed by the estimation date? Yes Did they convince you to purchase anything that you had not originally intended to purchase? What was the reasoning and are you glad you did it? Yes: They suggested changing fuel pump and injectors when adding the Supercharger kit. Yes I'm glad I did it, it would be fuel starved on stock injectors at higher end. Did they give you a cost estimate on tuning? Yes: Their tuning rate is a flat rate for most tunes. Did they charge more or less than the estimate? Neither.. It was the same as the estimate. Have you been able to do any datalogging, and if so have you seen any knocking? No knocking to date. Did any hiccups come up during the wrenching work or the tuning? How did they handle it? How well-informed were you during hiccups? My car ate a license (known issues) so Keith kept me informed as he worked with ECUtek to get a license back and get the issue taken care of. Quote:

You can also speak with:
