Tuners in or near GTA?

Heard great things about Sacha@OnPoint, anyone else have any other recommendation? Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Sasha knows his stuff, but he's expensive and a bit of a d*ck in the dealings I've had with him. I'm keeping an eye on this thread so I've got other options down the road.

Depending on what you're looking at doing some of the off the shelf or e-tuning options may also work. I know of a few guys with success from remote tuning.

DMT (Tony the tiger as some of you may know him) and Definitive tuning are both in Toronto. I have heard the same about Sasha, a buddy of mine was trying to get a tune and he was told the day before the tune as to when it was. I know he was busy with the race cars but still. His tune was also north of a grand (with out the ecutek cable). I'm not sure what the other guys charge.

I know that I am bumping a real oldie, but...

Any recommendations on a good Ecutek tuner in GTA?
Suggestions/reasons are appreciated!

Not sure if Sasha is still accepting new clients, but he is still at OnPoint, NextMod in Toronto does tuning for these cars, and Definitive might do tuning as well. There's also e-tune options such as Steve99 (on the Forums) or Zach @ CSG.

My car is stock, so I have no experience with any of them for tuning. However Steve99 has been very helpful my answering ROM questions.

Sasha is great, but takes about a month to answer an e-mail... Nextmod is down the street from me, but never heard anything about them - good, bad, etc...
Just wanted to see if any reputable tuners popped up in the GTA in the last few years, and more importantly honest reviews.

I’ve been more than pleased with Zach’s work (CSG)
He’s now adding a second fuel option (91 oct) for my Edelbrock 94 octane tune.

A bit of a d*ck ?
He has a tendency to ignore his customers to attend to corporate and not assist with fine tuning. When you have a problem his tune he dissappears.
