Stu, if you wanted to make plenty money...move up to Newcastle mate. You would make an absolute fortune cos we have NO reputable tuning places in or around the area.
For such a major city thats pretty piss poor.
Its such an untapped market up here its unreal...and there are loads of motors!

My car has only been to 2 places (SCS + SCC) to be honest i've been here quite a few years now and i know the stories.......They are the only 2 companys i trust round my side of the country to work on my car.....(listed) BUT i choose to take my car there after feedback/word of mouth from others....BOTH from RSOC BB/Passionford.com so the word does go round! 
personally if i lived on the other side of the country then i would be on Karl/Stu's cusomers accounts as they are 2 of many tuners with good recommendations from many happy customers.

Good reply Stu (the first one). 
My tuners are sound...never had a problem with them however in the past tried using a few other people for odd jobs to try and get me out of a spot of bother which turned into nightmares!
Live and learn....and water under the bridge even after all the shit it caused me.
Also I think you'll find if you look carefully enough the proper 'really good' tuners will build and produce cars that will produce the fastest times....if you look carefully enough you will see a trend that separates the tuner wannabe's and the PROPER tuners.
Someone once asked me a question.....When is a tuner not a tuner?
Answer - When he hasn't got something else to copy from another tuner! 
At the end of the day...everyone here has got the fastest cars and best tuners...just so long as they are happy with it all and that they are achieving their goals instead of fooling everyone and themselves in believing so.

Stu
A customer of mine is currently re-building his Esc Cos engine with new parts I have supplied following a disastrous high speed race with an Audi RS6. When it is all done and run in, I have told him to contact you for a proper map and set-up as he lives in Derby (reasonably local??) and I dont want a repeat of previous referrals. Hope that's ok as I know you will do a top job.

I think your missing the point here Stu.
I'd rather (if i didnt know better like alot!) use a garage that had fancy stuff than turn up to a potting shed or someones house.Image counts...i just gonna think they are crap cause they cant afford bigger units cause they got no customers,and why doesnt it look like they have any customers?I gonna think cause they shit NOT cause they non rip off merchants.
If Karl/Mark or you Stu are complaining get a bank loan smarten up the look and i will say you will get not only the customers yoy got now but i shit load more who only see it as i would see it..IMAGE.
