until he rips me off ill be unsure of those claims, he has always been fair honest and has even done me a favor or two. you cant please everyone

***sorry to the SA mods, if I over stepped, but this was going in the wrong direction***

Corey at dynotex happily dyno'd my baby for a very decent price. Which ever has the better deal should be the one that sways you. My black t/a was dyno'd at mikes shop (previous to him being there tho) and my pewter done at Dynotex. If i had to choose which shop to spend the day at.... Dynotex hands down. But of course... thats my opinion.

Wow, people talkin bad about the great Mike Murrillo??? Am I dreamin??? My two cents is that his dyno runs do seem a bit pricey, at least from the web site prices...but i'm not from here so maybe SA is just a high dyno priced area

Besides, I do my dyno runs on I-35 by jumping in the left lane and putting the pedal down and if no one catches me, then I'm the fastest car on the road!!!!!

You pay for what you get, and I would rather put my car in Murrillos hands before anyones, no matter what the cost.

I have always had good experiences with Mike. He has cut me a deal more than once. Not knocking anyone else. Just saying that in my experience all the guys over there are good shit.

I would go with Murrillo due to his reputation. Mike and his co-workers reputation together is dam impressive

just my experience

I have delt with Mike before and he does seem pricey. I had him do an off-road cat back on a 89 GT I had in the past and he charged me 4 hours. Most of that was when people came by and would ask him questions which I ended up paying for. I decided to give him another look and sent a friend of mine to him, and same thing happened him and this was about 3 weeks ago. I feel he is overpriced on his labor. My 2 cents and my experience with him. It just seems weird to me that people are willing to pay more with him than checking other things out. I am sure there are other good mechanics out there that can offer the same services at a better price. Anyway not trying to flame anyone and not wanting any flames back, just giving my experience.
