    Seal dropped out of supercharger throttle body and just left there and not reinstalled.
    Calogero C.

    I'm writing this with the sole intent to bring awareness to potential victims of Dyno Comp, as well as to encourage those who have had work done to have Dyno Comp's work inspected. I am convinced that Dyno Comp damaged many other vehicles before and after they damaged mine. Though I was told by Richard Garcia, owner of Dyno Comp, that he fired the mechanic who worked on my vehicle, there is evidence here on Yelp of similar issues that date back to 2018. Those of you who have had Dyno Comp work on your vehicles may not know about potential damage until you "look under the hood". Those of you leaving great reviews may want to have your vehicles inspected. I brought my 2023 RAM TRX in to Dyno Comp last September. After picking up my truck, it was far louder than I was told it would be, and it didn't sound right. Performance was clearly worse than stock. I wanted the headers removed. Dyno Comp was unavailable to remove the long-tube headers they installed, so I went to another shop. Thank God I did, because I would have never known until my engine either failed, or the issues were caught later due to performance problems. MY TRX SPENT 6 WEEKS IN ANOTHER SHOP CORRECTING DYNO COMP'S WORK AND RESULTED IN EXPENSE BEYOND WHAT I PAID DYNO COMP. Rich called me after reading about my problems on an online forum. He initially feigned concern and cooperation, while repeating that it was regrettable that I didn't come to them first. I think it's important to understand that these issues were all discovered by another shop while removing headers. After Sending over an accounting of damage and request for compensation, Rich sent two text messages, requesting and reiterating the need to meet in person. As that would not result in an objective outcome, and is completely unnecessary, I expressed my preference to continue our discussion on the telephone. Rich then went dark and ghosted me. He's clearly testing my resolve, which he's going to learn all about very soon. I also believe that, in addition to the negligence evident in Dyno Comp's work, there is a fraud component. Dyno Comp supposedly tuned my vehicle, which would have been impossible with incorrect spark plugs and a failed fuel pressure sensor that they damaged. They also used a tune provided by Zdung Ho of ZH Tunes, which I discovered after engaging Zdung to re-tune my vehicle. Rich had all sorts of excuses about that, which I do not accept. Had Dyno Comp put eyes on any one of the stripped out screws on my supercharger, or even looked at the data logs that they would have had to pull, they would have immediately seen these problems. Nobody even put eyes on the mechanical work. I'm calling BS on their Dyno sheet as well as there is no way I'm up over 100 HP with incorrect spark plugs installed. Here is what Dyno Comp did to my vehicle: 1. Exhaust improperly installed - Stripped/broken bolts, loose brackets. Missing heat-shield, brackets and bolts returned with stock parts. 2. Wrong spark plugs installed - NGK Iridium TR7IX. These plugs were too short. 3. Spark plug gaps ranged from 25-31. 4. All bolts and screws on the supercharger lid and connection to the cylinder heads were rounded, stripped or missing. RAM specifies specific patterns and torque settings for all bolts around the supercharger. It was obvious that an impact wrench was used, causing damage to the bolts, and potentially to my supercharger and engine. 5. One of two screws for a critical valve was present, but not installed at all, making the valve completely loose. 6. An orange seal from inside the throttle body plug was not installed and was laying loose in the engine. 7. The belt tensioner bolt was stripped out, rendering the tensioner useless and requiring replacement. The bolt would spin without tightening. Evidence shows that the stationary bolt heads were used, with a pry bar used to work around this problem as there were gouge marks around the tensioner. 8. The wiring harness for the FRPS was ripped out, resulting in no fuel pressure reading. This had to be replaced. 9. Upon replacement of the FRPS harness, it was discovered that fuel pressure remained static at 15.7 PSI, with no change. That indicated a problem with the FRPS, requiring fuel rail replacement, after which fuel pressure read correctly. 10. Ground strap not replace after ECM removal and reinstall, resulting in interior/BCM electrical issues, such as a failure of the RF hub. 11. Missing clips on passenger wheel shroud. 12. Another vendor, ZHTUNES, claims that DYNO COMP used their tune file on my vehicle. What I paid for was a custom, DYNO COMP tune, and not a re-used third-party tune. They could not have tuned the vehicle at all with improper plugs and no fuel pressure reading. 13. Ground strap not replaced when reinstalling ECM, likely resulting an a problem I had with the RF hub, which corrected itself when the ground strap was reinstalled.

    Run 2 hp/rpm so this is how my car showed up at the shop "driving"and they said it was running lean and they blamed me for using correct oil

    These are the graphs runs 2 and 12 which is all I got and they blew the engine and required me to pay for the labor. I strongly believe it was done on purpose. Was told the engine was running lean. Wonder why maybe he has to do with the fact that you maxed out my turbo to 30 lbs on a stock WRX. That's negligence or done on purpose because the call I got was"If you're going to want more horsepower you're going to need a new engine let me get you a quote" me showing up with 190 horsepower and leaving with 180 horsepower and a blown engine isn't worth me paying anything to be honest I brought my car in driving and I had to tow it home because there's no way I'm going to let someone work on my car after they just destroyed it and asked for compensation like they had to put the hrs in to destroy my car. Stay away from this company the fact i didnt get any graphs but 2 and 12 shows they were hiding something that they did. It was a prestine car 05 subaru wrx with 80,000 miles on it now a broken dream. Its crazy to me that i had to pay to have this done. Stay away at all cost or it will cost you...

    I took my 1988 Mercedes 560 SEC into DynoComp today to get a baseline dyno run with Air/Fuel evaluation. The guys at DynoComp could not have been nicer. They were all enthusiastic, professional and obviously motorheads. They spent an hour with me doing some basic tuning on my ancient CIS-E fuel injection and allowed me to make some tweaks. Its pretty easy to get snotty when you work on REALLY high end cars. But there was not a hint of snotty at this place. Or else they were on their best behavior. This is a shop I can see coming back to for other services besides dyno tune. Their techs had all the good equipment and they seemed to be having fun. Thanks guys.

    I brought my car to Dyno Comp after installing my BC coilovers at a shop in California. I came to their shop with my suspension completely out of whack with the preload in the rear so tight that my handling and ride were absolute garbage. I met Matt at the shop, who was very honest and only charged me for what I needed. I ended up getting my suspension tuned in and I installed my Cusco LCA. Needless to say, their techs did a great job and my BRZ is handling better than ever before. I highly recommend this shop, go see Matt!

    Dyno at Dynocomp!

    Smart people and excellent tuners. They fixed a CEL issue with a bad sensor and tuned it way better than my last one from out of state.

    I can't say enough about Scottsdale Car Care/Speed. Carl and Chris took care of me from the minute…read moreI walked in the door. I had a special project in mind and they help guide me and acquire parts needed to achieve. There was a bit of fabrication needed, and they did FANTASTIC. It looks like an OEM part. I couldn't be happier. They nailed the timeline, even on custom work, and that is impressive all on it's own. I will take all of my projects here moving forward!

    I had an awful experience with this shop. I originally took my car in to have a steering stabilizer…read moreinstalled. The check engine light had also been on in my Jeep, so I had them check that out as well. It was Friday when they told me they could order the part my Jeep needed to be delivered by Sunday. They asked if I could prepay for half of the part/services, so I did, which should have been the first red flag. They told me to drop my car off Monday morning, and it would take around an hour - an hour and a half to install. I dropped by car off around 8:00 a.m. I finally called the shop back around 12:30 because I hadn't received an update. I called four times with no answer, then left a message. When they called me back, they said the part would actually be delivered Wednesday, which surprised me because they should have told me when I dropped my car off that the part didn't arrive Sunday. They said they were talking to the dealer to try to get the part sooner. I asked for them to call me back with an update. They still didn't call back. I had to call again. To which they said the part was actually showing up wrong on the website, and I needed a different part, and there was going to be a price change. I said just order the part, but if it can't get done on Monday or Tuesday morning, I'll have to pick the car back up and have it installed another time. They said they would call the dealer again to see when the correct part would arrive and call me back with an update. Yet again, no call back. I finally called again around 4:30 p.m. and asked for an update. They said that the correct part is actually a kit with 20 different parts that I should just source on eBay because it would be cheaper. They were zero help. I had to call for an update every time. Each time, they told me something different. It just seemed like they were lying on top of lies and could not keep up. They seemed to have no idea what was actually going on with my car, and they had multiple opportunities to be honest. When I picked up the car, I expressed my concerns about the situation. My car was in the shop for over 24 hours for no reason, I paid for ubers, and pre-paid for this service all for nothing. Their reasoning for not giving me updates was that they only had one person working in the shop. He also became defensive and said "Did I not leave you a voicemail??" Yes, you did. But that was after I called 4 times asking for an update. These people don't know what they are doing, and they have horrible customer service skills. I should've said no from the beginning when they asked for payment upfront. And before they comment and say "we don't have records of you in our system" the car was under my husband's name, Wyatt :) EDITED: The shop reached out to clarify my concerns. As indicated in their reply, I asked how the fact my car is a hybrid was missed considering I told them it was a hybrid, and they stated in their reply that is the root cause. Their response was that the dealer gave them two options and they ordered the somewhat readily available one. AKA they didn't check to make sure it would work with the hybrid. Yet another instance of inconsistent communication and incorrect information provided in their reply below. The root cause was not the vehicle is a hybrid. It was that they didn't pay attention. Also, since they want to talk about phone records, mine show the following: I called at 12:15, 12:20, and 12:25. I left a voicemail. I received a call back at 12:49. I called immediately back at 12:50. I had to call again at 1:26 for an update. They didn't call back until 3:19. I had to call again at 4:20 p.m. This is consistent with what I explained above. Their pettiness just goes to show they only care about their image and not their customers or their vehicles.
