COBB grand opening 11/22

COBB Tuning is pleased to announce the planned opening of our newest satellite facility in Plano, Texas. This state-of-the-art, 5000 sq. ft. facility features a Mustang all-wheel drive dynamometer and a Hunter WinAlign optical alignment system designed specifically for enthusiast vehicles with lowered suspensions. This facility will offer installation services for the full COBB Tuning product line as well as custom tuning services for the AccessPORT, including optimization of Stage 1 and Stage 2 mapped vehicles.

The Plano facility is staffed by Chris Fleming, Neil Bywater, Calvin Dotson, and Brad Campbell – a team closely involved in developing and supporting the COBB Tuning brand and products since its creation. The team will bring years of racing and tuning experience, as well as first-hand experience in dealership-level management, sales, parts, and services. Thanks to their history of outstanding customer satisfaction, the team will carry on the COBB Tuning tradition of outstanding customer service. As a company, we are very excited about the newest addition to the COBB family, and look forward to harnessing the team's expertise to provide the best possible service to Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Infiniti and Nissan owners looking to unlock the full potential of their vehicles.








The grand opening is November 22nd from 11am-3pm.
We are officially open now and the dyno is in route.
The COBB tuned GTR and time attack Sti will be present!
We will have a club/car meet with parking set aside for each manufacturer, food,
raffle/prizes and dealer reps. bringing out the newest models to showcase. Paintless
dent repair will be offered by Mobile Recon for about $40 a panel.

This will be a great opportunity to get some of the old and new crowds
together and put some faces to names.

Look forward to seeing everyone!

Just hit up the casinos on 20 on your way out, take advantage of the free drinks while getting rid of the pesky pennies in your coin tray, the six hours will fly by in no time. See you Saturday!
