 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought a 1987 toyota MR2 for a complex repair involving multiple fault conditions with the ignition, fuel, ECU, and sensors. Nick was patient, knowledgeable and confident through the troubleshooting process. The car came back with a great tune that fits the character of the car very well.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been taking my car to the Toyota dealer. But as occasional routine maintenance starts to give way to more issues with an aging car, I wanted to find a local shop that I can trust to do a solid and honest job that I can also walk home from. I saw the old Electra Tune was undergoing a rebrand, and from the looks of the work happening on the exterior, it really seemed like a place that takes pride in what they do by how they present to the neighborhood. My intuition served me well, as they were super professional, honest about what needed to be done, and completed a number of necessary repairs for a reasonable price. Everything they fixed up from sensors to exhaust to a failing CV are now running smoothly. They even offered to work later on a Friday in case I needed my car for the weekend. Will be returning for future needs, thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After being a loyal Electra Tune customer for years, I was sad to see the sign come down, until I needed to bring my car in for service! The price may not be the cheapest, but the service they have provided has been money well spent. The manager was even kind enough to come look at the vehicle at my home before helping me decide the best option moving forward. They were honest about a minor mistake they made and seem like perfection is all they accept
