Surgeline Tuning

Great communication and flexibility, worked hard to get the job done on time. Will definitely bring my cars back.

I called Surgeline about tuning and parts. They offered me a 200.00 'protune' with the purchase of an access port. I also picked up an air intake. They were 2 months out on their dyno tunes, which was no problem. During that 2 months I installed the air intake and AP and ran with an OTS map. It was fun. So much fun I decided to research more parts. I called Surgeline back and spoke a great guy about parts options (forget his name) who was even willing to drop off the parts at my house as I lived close by to him. That was awesome - they save on some shipping and I get the parts a bit quicker. I told him I'd call back to confirm. When I called back I got PJ who, according to him, said I couldn't use just those parts. I would need to order more parts, to for the previously discussed parts to work properly. Then, on top of that, if I didn't have the parts installed there I would be paying 150.00 for 'limp mode' map to get my car from my house to their shop. Prices were all of a sudden in the thousands of dollars. Being the consumer I am, I instantly started researching what I was told. I called different shops around the country, posted in the various forums online, and spoke to a couple locals. I quickly came to the conclusion that 1) being charged for limp mode map is not normal. However, supporting customers desire to wrench on their own cars is normal and the 150.00 limp mode fee was clearly an attempt to get more money. 2) most of the parts I was told I 'must have' are in reality not 'needed' as I was being led to believe. Was there some validity to the suggestion for certain parts? Yes. Was there any validity to the necessity of those parts - no. Further, the parts I was being led to believe I needed would have added tremendous noise to the operation of the car. This was not ever mentioned by PJ. Man... forget about how unhappy I would have been, I would have had some upset neighbors as well. Overall I feel like I was the little old lady at the auto repair shop being taken advantage of. Kind of a bummer Surgeline chose to take this route as I was really looking forward to getting tuned by them. They lost a ton of parts sales, a tune, and possible future tunes (I tinker A LOT). Oh ya- FYI they are no longer owned by Cobb, which was news to me as well.

Will they install a turbo nothing too special but just A little nice upgrade and also what’s the price for diagnostics, what do they have to offer? I looking for a upgrade but also a good deal my turbo is in good shape will they consider on trading for a bigger turbo and paying the difference off with installing included?

I started taking my FoST to them for maintenance and upgrades. Apparently they can make Subaru’s a little faster too 😉 Quality work and great service.
