Vivid Racing ECU upgrade

Vivid Racing is offering an ECU upgrade for my 2014 CLS550 4Matic, coming in at $1,125

Thoughts?

I've reached out to Kleeman, Eurocharged, Fabtech, Renntech, etc.

May I ask why? They were prominent when I was looking at the CLA45 AMG. I'm also going to be interested in a tune for my 550 as well, don't want to risk anything.

a friend of mine had his car at their shop for a great deal of time. they never delivered and used parts off his car for other cars. Granted, this was a subaru, when they did a lot of work on subarus. But maybe they changed, I just know that they burned their bridges with the suby community. In fact, if you bring up their name at a suby meet, its usually in jest. They were so bad that they had to turn into a mail order company. But if you dont believe me, just google "Vivid racing reviews" and see for yourself.

If you are in AZ there are plenty of other shops that are way more reputable then Vivid.

heres their bbb page: https://www.bbb.org/phoenix/business...and-complaints

I've decided to move my business to Eurocharged for my ECU upgrade. Sending the unit off this week to get programmed. Dylan in Houston has been great about communicating, pricing, and from what I can tell... a shop that will stand behind their product.

I've noticed quite a few great things being said about Eurocharged on the boards and appreciate all of the posts and feedback on this matter.
