CCS tuning?

Mister Hymes · 01-24-2005, 10:03 PM

I don't now much about them but I'd like to know more. I've talked to a local tuner about a tune on my car but I like to hear about any experiences with CCS. Plus, IF I read thier price guide right (???) it would be 200 dollars less expensive than my other estimate thus making the long trip look alot shorter. Just looking for someone that treats thier customer's cars like thier own. Thanks !

P.S. I've allready read every page on thier web-site.

I haven't had my car tuned there YET but will be taking the trip up there once I finish resolving a few car issues and gte my torque converter installed. I met Jim (owns CCS, as well as does the tunes) before I moved out of Austin. He's a great guy with a wealth of knowledge. From the time I was in austin, I only heard good experiences from AAS members that were tuned by him; Never did I hear anything bad.

I have the utmost confidence in Jim's expertise and I wil be taking my GT to him for my tune.

from what i've heard thru sources CSS does a great job!!..and i real professional at it too..thats getting to be a pretty rare thing in the tuning world here lately...and i've used quite a few lately till i decided to start buying the programs and such and start learning it myself...

Mister Hymes · 01-25-2005, 12:06 AM

Well I called the shop after hours and to my suprise got an answer (just calling to leave a message) and spoke to Jim. He was able and willing to answer all my questions and then some. I feel like to not do business with CCS would be a huge mistake. I was very impressed with his great attitude, years of experience and knowledge plus not to mention awesome customer service, and I haven't even got the car tuned yet. I can say with all confidence that he will be seeing my business and my car will be running at it's optimum after he's tuned it! Thanks Jim. It is appreciated! :jeff:

good post, since I am still in the market for a tune :jeff:

ccs · 01-25-2005, 12:03 PM

Thanks, guys! Makes it easy when you work for folks that appreciate the work.

Jim is a great guy that will definitley spend the time and put forth the EXTRA effort in customer service. I think he is an asset as a sponsor of LSS. Thanks, Jim

eldodroptop · 01-25-2005, 07:22 PM

I can give you nothing but praise about Jim and his work. If ANYONE is thinking about a tune CALL JIM. He really knows his stuff. He will not sell you alot of junk you do not need. He will not knock your head off with his pricing. Jim is all about customer service (He denies it but it is true). :jeff:

I will be getting a tune within the next 4 weeks, I'm between ccs and a local tuner. Glad to see so many people liked their ccs tune.

BlueStangChik · 02-03-2005, 12:33 AM

Murillo will be doin mine very soon!

ccs · 02-03-2005, 12:58 AM

Good luck with it.

Need to let you guys know-you need to schedule your tuning 2-3 weeks out, and it will be like that until December, so schedule early.

txlen · 02-04-2005, 08:07 AM

lol...but this is feb....lol...

ccs · 02-04-2005, 10:43 AM

I was merely letting people know how the schedule runs, so they don't call Friday evening for a saturday appointment-there is a steady line of cars waiting to be tuned, half of which, were "tuned" elsewhere. We stay scheduled that far out, most of the year. Your point is?

jim

Zylone · 02-04-2005, 11:41 AM

I have never met jim or been to the shop myself, but have heard nothing but great things about him and his guys on other sites! Heck, just from looking at his schedule that should tell ya something

I know one I get me a new toy I will for sure pay him a visit!

BlueStangChik · 02-04-2005, 04:00 PM

I wish the OTHER tuners had time to post all over the net...

**TrueBlueVenom** · 02-04-2005, 04:04 PM

I'm scheduled to get tuned on the 19th so I will post my experience afterwards.

ccs · 02-04-2005, 09:33 PM

Look at the times I post, I tune from 9am-10pm, most days, including the time other "tuners" have me on the phone, teaching them how to tune. You are more than welcome to come up and check us out, and ask any questions of me that you'd like. I've been in this field for many years (way before most of the major companies came along), and most folks find their way here, at some point to get their tuning done, and otherwise solve problems they would not have had, if they had been here first. Not bragging, just pointing out fact. See yah!
