my mate booked his calibra turbo nova in there once for a set up, only mods were stainless exhaust, cone filter and a vauxhall frontera intercooler, they wouldnt tune it when he got there because they said the cone filter was too small !!!

The place in Stokesley is AutoMark. They have a very good reputation, although I've never used them personally.

He runs a BIG power Audi rallycross car

Took my Rover Coupe there (A19 test n tune) as i put induction kit and ss exhaust on and felt as though i lost power. IMO the service was great and worth the cost. They knew what was wrong, fixed the fault and cleaned the full injection system for good measure, noticable difference. Only complaint i could have is at the time they could not give me a printout of my bhp and torque, but job was a goodn

never used them my self but I do know the owner quite well, he once drove to my house for a party then got pissed, so at daft oclock in the morning rang his recovery man and got the car recovered home and a free lift
was funny seeing a huge recovery truck in my small cul de sac picking up a perfectly roadworthy car just cos the driver was pissed as a rat!!!
one big perk of owning your own garage!!!!
