I dealt with these guys over a a period of about 2 years and it was unending problems after and during the build. I have spent about 30k at this shop and didn’t realize until now, how bad dealing with this shop is. The biggest issue is how big of a scam these receipts are, the shop usually gets parts at a cheaper price than a customer like me would, yet this was not the case as the shop up charged me on parts an insane amount compared to what I could have bought for a much cheaper price. The actual breakdown receipt wouldn’t even have any of the details of the parts that way I couldn’t figure out how much it should actually cost. I still have all of the receipts and look back at them and realize how bad I got ripped off, I was young and dumb, and sadly put my trust into the wrong people and got taken advantage of due to that. When I got the car back I had to take it back to get the tune adjusted about 5 times because they didn’t get it right the first time. There are many complaints that I can start stating, but one that really made me upset was that the turbo oil return hose that was used was a heater hose that swelled up as it is not supposed to be used for oil, that swelled up to the point that it touched the headers and melted, causing an oil leak. So many problems with this shop and they never own up to their mistakes. I would avoid this shop at all costs, it’s just not worth the headache.

Went to Pablo at Original Auto Performance for an updated ecutek tune on my R35 GTR today, and I’m very happy with the results. Unlike other tuners, Pablo took the time and patience while GTR was on the dyno. The results were massive, at +73whp +132wtq gains over the previous tune by Bill at delicious tuning.

I highly recommend bringing your racecar, project car, or track build to Pablo and the crew. Tuning and labor costs were very reasonable and scheduling with them was extremely easy. Can’t believe I never found out about this place before.

Whatever the car you have, only thing you’ll regret is not bringing it to Pablo at Original Auto.

Best shop in town for custom modified cars. JDM specialists. In house dyno tuning. Highly recommend to anyone. Ask for Chris or Pablo.

I took my 97 eclipse with a bad turbo . At first I was a little cautious about reaching out do to some review but I did and after talking to Chris I decided to take my vehicle to him. He did a great job my GST runs better than before. He found the right parts my car needed. Thank you guys.

Don't ever get any exhaust work done to your car here ever!!! Couldn't tune it right and still charged full price. Paid them to joy ride my car and melt my bumper off. Plenty of other legit places to go to in the valley.

Original auto is an excellent shop to go to for tuning and mechanical work. I had my r32 done there and am very happy with the results. They are excellent with communication, get things done on time, and take their time with their customers. I will be bringing my k20 swap there for tuning next week. Thanks again Pablo and original auto.

Wasted $30k+ on this shop with hackjob backyard work done to to my rb26. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE unless you want to deal with headaches for years to come.

New dents and dings, ruined paint, terrible engine builder.

I wouldn't trust them to do an oil change for me in the future.
