ItchyTasty

I'n down in Nashville, IN by Btown...

You know of any good shops around that can do mods and advanced repairs?

I just picked up am 09 c63 amg and live in Brownsburg. I am looking for a tuner in town if you know of one.

sqitis

That car is just gorgeous man!! I ordered my tune from OE Tuning out of Cali. They treat you right! Have you found anyone to work on that car up there? I've got a guy down in Bloomington but he sometimes frowns on MB.

Pwhitty

Thanks. It is an 09 with 84k miles. Believe it or not, I am still trying to figure out what all performance mods it has on it. I know it has headers, but other than that I think it is mostly stock. The previous owner did not have much detail around brands.
Other mods are:
19" wheels
carbon fiber hood, chin spoiler wrapped in black vinyl.
Vinyl wrapped exterior trim.
black exhaust tips.

Still researching options for a tune and/or dyno shop. There are a few good options, but nothing solid yet. There are a few guys at work that recommended a shop on the northside for normal maintenance work. He said they are about a 1/3 of the price and very good. If needed, I can shoot you over the name when I get it.

sqitis

Yea do that! I'd like to know who it is. Eurocharged has a shop in Cincy with a dyno I believe. I thought about having them install LTH for me....

Pwhitty

Not a bad thought.

Pwhitty

FYI. talked with Graham Rahal Performance and they seem like a solid shop around the corner from my house in Brownsburg. They have worked on several MB's and other imports. They have a full shop with a dyno.

sqitis

Ok good info! I'll give them call and ask about LTH install price.

Pwhitty

I do know their hourly rate is $140.

They also have a cars and coffee event coming up at the end of March. I will probably check it out.

sqitis

Wow, my buddy charges $75 down here in Bloomington.

Keep me posted on the CC date!

Pwhitty

Wow that is a lot better price. They also charge $100 per hr on the dyno.

Below is the CC date.

sqitis

Oh cool, thanks!

Pwhitty

Hood is getting painted. Should have my car back by the weekend and will put in the ROW airboxes then. Outside of a dyno and possible tune. I am done for a while.

Pwhitty

The cars and coffee event was good despite the rain. There were only a couple of MB's out there, but about 150 cars in all. There is another this Saturday on the northside of Indy. I will be there if you want to join.

Travis Boling

Not to dig up a dead thread but.....find a good tuner in Indy? I'm looking at possibly getting a 2015 E63 soon and trying to plan ahead.

Pwhitty

I have been impressed with Graham Rahal Performance in Brownsburg. Although I have not have them tune yet, I have inquired about it. They will use the Weistec base tune and dial it in on their dyno. Maybe we can get a discount if we get the tune at the same time.

My car will be going their tomorrow for a little maintenance.

Travis Boling

Going to look at the car Friday or Saturday, whenever I get the time. Graham is a great guy, sure the shop is too. I know a few guys who use them for their cars. I'll check with them too.

Pwhitty

Let me know if you find another good shop. There have been a few amg at the local cars and coffee events around town including a white e63 wagon.

Is there anything done to the car yet?

Travis Boling

Will do. Bone stock it appears. A blank slate!
