New GLE Want to Program

I am looking into getting some tuning done to my new GLE53 and wanted to see if there is a forum favorite for this. I was looking at RJ Automotive and their solutions look slick. Worried about using my Mac for the process though.

I had posted some questions in another thread with BenzNinja. Looks like they were deleted - that is weird no? I am looking at him as a programming/coding option but his unprofessional behavior scares me to have him have programming access to my delicate vehicle. Anyone here vouch for him? Is he better than RJ? I want to be careful and take my time picking a good solution but also implementer.

Do not waste your time with Benz ninja. Go with RJ Automotive if you want something.

Looks like Benz is here with a fake account to mess with our latest newbie. I am thinking about some coding too on my GLE450 and BN is off-putting. The guy deleted my posts and sent me PM's after I asked him to stop. RJ is who I plan to use- just trying to figure out what I want and hit more than 1k miles on the new car. Make sure you follow the break in period on your 53 PandaMan. Oh, and welcome. There are some very helpful people here - so don't let a bad apple or two put you off.

I used @rjautomotive for my GLE 53 programming - very satisfied and no issues. He's top notch.

Also have had RJ code mine, and he couldn't have been better. You'll be very happy with his service.
