Good Guy: SR MotorCars

Just wanted to say THANK to an AWESOME shop owner for all of his help with yesterday's SoCal DynoDay!

20 cars all in one day WITH tuning. Steve was a pleasure to work with, is very knowledgable with cars, and runs a GREAT shop.
If ANYONE in the SoCal area ever needs to dyno their car, this is hands-down the place to go.

Steve's a great guy. I'll definitively be back at SR for some more dynos.

Many thanks to Jedi for orchestrating this whole thing. He's got this dyno day thing down.

This is THE shop to go to in SoCal for dyno and tune. Steve was real cool with everything throughout the day. He even helped me get off the driveway as everyone was leaving! haha. If my car was ready, I for sure woulda put it on his dyno. But one things for sure, i'll be back there when my car is good to go.

I suggest this location become an annual dyno meet. If not sooner

Thank you guys... Honestly the thanks should go out to Jedi for putting all this together.. and for all you guys for making it such a great event. I'm looking forward to the next event you guys throw here. I'll make sure to get the Projector and Xbox set up.. so you guys can have some fun in the showroom next time you come thru.

BUMP!!!!!!!


I just wanted to once again thank Steve for another AWESOME dyno day at his shop. I seriously can never say enough about this guy and the great shop he runs.
Steve not only let us invade his place on a Sunday, he was quick to assist us whenever any car had issues, and kept the shop open for almost 12 hours to let us finish doing dyno runs / tuning.

I'll say it again, THIS is THE dyno shop to go to in SoCal. Steve is a very well known Tuner as well... you guys should see some of the cars that are in that shop! (can we say... RB 26????)
Oh, and he was also working on an RX-8 with a Pettit Supercharger.

+100000000....etc to Steve @ SR Motorcars

Not only did he change his plans for us RX-8s, he helped me tons with the issues with my car. From fixing the meth check valve, to pressure leak testing, to playing with the wastegate, he definitely got his hands dirty that day working on my car.

Yet again, another awesome dyno day over at SR MotorCars! This is the place to go for SoCal dyno'ing!

I agree with the prior posts! Steve at SR Motorcars is a hell of a nice guy. This is the second time I've been to his shop and it just keeps getting better.

He went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that this Dyno day happened. I heard he canceled some personal activities he had planned to allow us to do this event.
My hat is off to you sir! Thank you.

for sure an awesome guy, he definitely had no problem being friendly and sharing with everyone there. Took extra time when needed and made everything possible available to us.

Thanks Steve!
