Bob was great to deal with, a real class act. I had my NA Celica tuned there last year. I brought my own tuner so I just used their Dyno but he was a stand up guy and I had a lot of fun.

I've hosted a couple of S2000 dyno days at DO and have gone there on several other occasions to do dynos on my own. Besides Bob being great to deal with, he offers very competitive pricing and is a genuine car enthusiast! Highly recommend Drift Office.

Went to Bob at Drift Office for baseline runs...very knowledgeable staff and great service. Will be going back for follow up runs when new parts are added. If your in the area and looking for a shop to go to i highly recommend giving Bob a call!

Bob has worked on a few of my cars and has my business. Very knowledgable and won't try to sell you crap you don't need. I bought my LinkECU from Bob after my V6 swap was acting odd on the dyno. Bob and Bill made a PnP patch harness + install and tune in 2 or 3 days. Superb service and quality is second to none.

Thanks Matt! I rather enjoyed the vid too. :)

I brought my WRX to Bob years ago for a baseline run. I also purchased my Cobb Accessport from him as well.

Great service and knowledge, and well worth the drive down for me.

I will be bringing by my FR-S to him as soon as I take delivery of it and after the break in.

I also forgot to mention I have brought my old AE86 down there for many things as well.

Went to drift office a few yrs back when they first moved into their (huge) current location. Bill installed a piggyback and tuned my s2000 with care and gave an honest price. Definately recommended.

Stopped by DO and chatted with Bob and Paul (from AVO as he was getting his baseline tune in preparation for the new turbo kit that should start being installed on Monday) for a bit. I hadn't been to the shop before and I was impressed with the cool projects in various stages of completion. Plenty of old school 86s with a smattering of other JDM-style rides. I was probably there for 45 minutes just shooting the shxt until I had to get back on the road. I could have easily stayed twice as long with these gearheads!

And this is my problem when I stop by Drift Office. :party0030:

I stopped by Drift Office today to FINALLY get a Stage 1 NA tune done to my car.

Bob and the rest of the team were very friendly, knowledgeable, and super easy to get a long with.

I didn't feel rushed, which was nice for a change and was able to converse with Bob about current and future plans for my car.

I have a feeling I could of spent all day over there, what a blast! :)

Overall experience 10/10 Great job guys and I will be back.

PS Bob, you made of up mind about that darn turbo kit! I'll be seeing you soon bro!

10/10. No bones about it.

Courteous, knowledgable, reliable, reasonable, and easy to talk to. :w00t:Those are some of the words I will use to describe Drift Office. They are also qualities I look for when searching for a shop team to work on my prize auto.
The staff certainly took care of my needs this week.:thumbsup: Bob and Bill are enthusiats who eat, breathe and live this technology daily and are known widely for their reputation. I went out of my way to get my car in their shop and am glad I did. I will go out of my way to take my car there again.:thumbup:


:thanks:Drift Office

Ok. Today I got more proof Bob is THE MAN!

I was busy all week, told my 18 year old daughter (drives an E30 very well) that she could drive my newly-AVO-turbo'd BRZ up SR542 East up To Artist Point today. She looked forward to the event all week, as I did.
I let her drive the car from Edmonds to the Point and back (roughly 220 miles). She had the time of her life, never needing any coaching to shift (it's a manual) or upsetting the car in any way. She is a natural at driving.
The car (modified and tuned at Drift Office last week) performed flawlessly throughout the day. As a passenger in my own car I was amazed at how gracefully a teenager could manipulate this car through steep, sharp hairpin turns and high speed undulations with little wiggle room for error. (NO - Dad didn't turn off the traction control!) I intend to take her auto crossing, where she will no-doubt outperform me.
On the way home, our first phone call of the day came to us via Bluetooth. It was Bob. What a suprise! He was only checking on the car, but it felt as if he was checking on us! He had no idea that I had not had the opportunity to drive the car all week, no idea that I was in the car and that this was, without a doubt, my finest day in one of my cars ever!
What service! What timing!
A HUGEThank you to Bob:thumbup:

Ha! A timely call no doubt! Glad the two of you are enjoying it! Have fun over the weekend! :)
