It's really up to your own judgement at this point.
You've obviously read about both sides, some people happy and some people pissed.

So no one has had any issues recently?

FA20Club ripped me off - Caveat Emptor


Right.... Best part about that thread is that its a repeat customer who had already spent lots of $$$$ there, and still got ripped off...

Boggles my mind that you have James pretty much local, and you consider giving the car to anyone else....

Take it to @jamesm. He is a better tuner than Toni. This is coming from a guy that was running a Toni tune and sold my car with it.
