In my opinion RRT is exactly what you don't want in a tuner - horrible ego and inconsistent pricing. That being said, let me explain.
I contacted RRT after being referred to them by a few friends and we communicated through email. Raif, who responded to my request to tune my car was extremely smug, spoke down to me and my vehicle. He requested photos of my car to see if it was "worthy" of his time. I understand people might bring him junk and expect him to work miracles, but his communication towards me was insulting and rude. After sending him all the information needed, my car passed his "standards" and he agreed to tune it. On his site it clearly states tunes start at $450. Now I understand they say starting, but allow me to explain further... My car was set up already, sensors were calibrated, dialed in and it was drivable. Injectors and fuel trims were perfect under partial throttle and I did not want them changed. I made some changes which would need some fine tuning at wide open throttle, which is all I wanted done. Raif refused this request, and quoted me a starting price of $900... When I stated his site states $450 he said "sorry, old site which has not been updated, I start at 900". This is unacceptable and false advertising.
Overall, the ego, the insulting comments and the inflated prices made me take my car and my business elsewhere. The car scene is full of people like this and I will have no part of it. read more
