Default xxtuning or agile auto?

help me decide where to be tuned...both are three hours away from me so it doesn't matter
i've seen a lot from agile, but xxtuning seems to be pretty good too.

so reviews?

I was very happy with my experience at Agile, friendly people and a really good tune. Plus they didn't mind at all that I was in the room snapping pictures while they were tuning on the dyno. I have heard good things about XXTuning as well, you probably can't go wrong with either.

I've heard nothing else but good words about XXTuning. Tony (the tuner) is great! He will explain everything that he is doing to your car and he is very knowledgeable. He is charging about $300 for the tune and it should take about 1 1/2 - 2 hours including road testing.

Well I'm biased but Agile has done my work from day one and also my best friends car. I would'nt trust anyone else. Im sure the others are good but you won't eb "Taken" at Hill's.....

well as you know, march 18th is a big day at xxtuning, so maybe you could go by and check the place out.

I know nothing about Agile, but I have been at XXtuning, plus had worked done there and they are a great people. Tony the tuner is very good too, and he is a great person to ask questions too.

This may just turn into a fan poll...but I'd highly recommend XX Tuning. Great guys to work with, and many success stories from customers around the forums.

I'll be there on the 18th too just for fun...

Sum it up.

Near equal.

XXtuning is cheaper though?

I haven't seen anything, what is happening at xxtuning on the 18th? Another open house / dyno day like they had last year?

What about Xotic? I thought Adam was very pleased with them? They're outside of Gap, right?

Cool! I will see you there, although I was not lucky enough to have an appointment on that day but I will stop by.

jaygoesfast, this is not a dyno day like last year. Doug from TopSpeed is scheduled to tune 5 cars for that day @ XXTuning along with Tony. 2 masterpieces work together can do wonders. I know you live upstate NY (I think) but do you plan on coming?
