Default recommendations for tune shop in socal

hello, ive been lurking the forums for a while now and this is my first post. i recently installed my turbo and was wondering if anybody can recommend a good shop is socal to tune my car. i already know about church automotive in wilmington, but its almost an hour and a half away from me. i dont want to drive out that far, jus in case something happens.

is there a reputable shop near the san ferenado valley?

and i heard about hk motorsports from a google search, anybody been there before?

thanks, please let me know, want to get tuned asap!

you won't find anyone in the SFV that can properly tune a tC and i know Yimi tuned 1 turbo tc with a greddy kit w/greddy blue and it came out good. i went there myself when i had my tc asking him questions because i was thinking of boosting it getting it tuned there since it's closer to me, yet i wasn't too pleased on how he said that if his tuners messed up during the tune how they weren't going to be liable for the motor and whatever else got messed up only because they mainly tune subaru's and Evo's. a friend asked him for his 3000GT and got the same response as me, it might be better to pay for a tow truck and go to Church's. never heard of hk motorsports...good luck with your built.

i DONT recommend going to YIMI. been there several times and it felt like they showed no love towards their customers. very rude. I'd say go to Church's. very down to earth and nice people there.
