Man I feel your pain bro. It’s hard to trust some of these people in the industry and not take responsibility and accountability for what they are doing with people cars
No question the most unprofessional circumstance I have ever heard of. Huge props to you CJ for handling it the way you did with candor. Frauds like these guys eventually get exposed and in the long run, karma catches up to them. It's unfortunate that you had to go through this, but in the end you learned a lot from the experience and the situation allowed you to discover people who will go out of their way to provide excellent customer service. Glad to see you have moved on from this, keep chasing perfection with that beast of yours brother!!!!
Thanks for the feedback man. It was a nightmare of an experience but tough times don’t last.. I never thought I’d be involved in something like this. I wanted to leave it alone but I would hate to hear/see someone else go through this.
I’ve been saying this forever “never go to a tuner that “tunes” everything. I call them fly by night. They are never worth the time let alone 1300. …. I’m also a firm believe in not spending that much on a tune. I have an unbelievably good tune on my aem infinity and paid so much less and it incorporated all features. I’m glad you are coming out to expose another fly by night “idk how to tune this program” properly tuner. Nothing but wasted settings for most of them.
Sorry you gotta waste so much time to get what you paid for. This is exactly why I’m hesitant for my next tune. Thanks for posting this. This will help other what to watch out for. Keep up the good work on the evo bro 👍
Pretty sure he was already in here with a burner account ; posted his 2 cents and got destroyed in the comments so he deleted them lol. You really think a guy that’s doing these types of things is gonna own up to his mistakes? Definitely not..
Had he admitted his mistake or confusion and worked with you to figure it another day and do it right he wouldn't have to be put on blast. Humility is super simple! People and their egos make it hard.
Exactly man. This all could’ve went so differently had he just came clean on tune day. Instead, looks like greed got the best of him and he made a decision to try to take advantage of someone. As if that wasn’t enough, he then tried to poke the bear by making up lies and making fun. Carbee deserves all this and more.
I think anyone and everyone that tunes knows 150psi sensor for oil is the standard. Dude really said to get a 100psi sensor, smh…. Glad everything worked out dude!!!
@@colorado_a3766 when it gets cooler out. It’s hot af right now. Zach has also agreed to hit the track with me so he can make adjustments. He thinks the car is capable of hitting 9s.
Yow i know Chris, he tuned my evo x years ago bolt on,stock computer made 544/387. Had no issues until i blew it up on low gas. My friend also tuned his cars by chris,but again STOCK computer. But i know your feeling though,as i mentioned to you in the first clip, i had to send mine out of state to be corrected bro. The amount of double Spend i did... hey watch BD ALCHEMIST on you tube 😂😂 im from florida too...be blessed
Thanks for sharing. I had a few minor complaints on his first couple tunes but they were all drivability related. After all the immaturity and lack of professionalism, I don’t think this dude should be doing anything in the service department.
Dude I was about to take mine to force fed but they sound like Kasey tuned so I'm gonna have to make a longer drive for a tuner but I definitely want a good one I'm about finished with my motor build but it scares me finding a good tuner
Vibe was always off with him since he got more “popular” I guess, he was cool when I got a tune from him back in the day. Not surprised about any of this
So much drama. Sucks. Glad Corr got you straight. I have major trust issues in this industry. I do all my building and tuning myself. And the few things I do out source, like machine work....I always check over.
I know man.. I hate the drama. I might start learning to tune but I’m just glad I ran into a good shop I can trust. The guys at Corr are still doing follow ups on me almost a month after the tune so I’m in really good hands.
Had my evo x tuned by him and the shop worked on my car but now I think it’s time to fine a different shop. I’m in South Carolina if anyone knows of any good shops please lmk
I would definitely move on man. One thing I learned from all of this is if the business owner doesn’t have any physical assets to lose, he’s probably not going to care about the local consumer. With him being a freelance tuner, I would imagine he thinks the average customer is expandable and that he’ll just get another one somewhere else. Idk what part of SC you’re at but maybe check out House Of Power.. I’ve heard good things about them. I believe they’re in Charlotte. Should be at the SC/NC border.
@@CJ2X i reached out like 20 times and no response. Can’t believe he did that to you man. I’m down here in south Florida not many options to tune our evos.
Performance destination will do you right. Remote or in person, Desmond been tuning my evos for a couple of years now and never had an issue or question bout his work because he breaks everything down for you on what he is seeing. Even remote tunes he does it live. He is on the phone with you the entire time as he is remotely logged into your laptop doing the tune!
Usually things like that wouldn't happen if your there with your car when it's getting tuned..... If it was my car then I would be there to watch the tune and ask questions.... Was you not there during the tuning of your car?
I’ve honestly thought about it but at this point, I’d rather just move on. I got my money back and I know this video has hurt their reputation.. So I’m good with that.
@@CJ2X if you have the money back then don't bother with a case unless u think his negligence hurt the motor enough to be provable which could be worth it sounds all sorted tho didn't know how much 10k was to you since that's either pocket change or hurt someone real bad money depending on who you ask good luck with the build and lastly I recommend you try to dabble into tuning yourself not only to save the money but because it'll be experience that transfers over to any other car
I don't go anywhere near shops that have these kinds of stories associated with them. You're not the first and you definitely won't be the last person getting f***** over.
Yea, I learned that the hard way.. Prior to this happening, I’ve never really heard anything negative about this guy though. Then as soon as I share my story, I get a bunch of people telling me they’ve also had negative experiences.
I have been tuned by him in the past. Still on stock ECU. Car drives like shit. Don't get me wrong, it pulls hard but idle is atrocious. I will be going stand alone. I've talked to one of my homies and he said to check your videos out.
That’s how my first tune was. It was so bad, I had to pay for a second tune just to have it fixed. After talking to some Evo tuning legends, tuning a highly modified car in an hour isn’t enough time. And this dude knocks out like 3-5 cars in a tuning day.
Nah man Slowpoke got me tuned up right, car makes great power, he even acknowledged the fuel issue I was already aware of, 3 videos about this is excessive seems slandering made a good excuse to try to get views. Every tuner is obviously going to tune the car differently & slowpoke has a great reputation on the east coast
Clearly you didn’t watch all the videos. First video I just show what happened during the tune and I mildly discuss my theory while still recommending him for some things. Second video had nothing to do with him, we just happened discover that he blatantly scammed me. This video is the only video that can be considered “slander”.. And his unwarranted actions after he scammed me is the reason why this video is even up. You think because you’ve had one good experience with him, he’s incapable of doing any wrong to others? Rewatch all the proof in this video and read everything. Otherwise, get your self centered ass outta here.
You are literally creating this now. You got your money you said what you said So what is it you really want? If it’s something to make you feel better Just move on bro Now it’s like you want to hurt him To what end???? U really want to hurt his life? Like forever? Bruh too far
For starters, i waited a while because I wanted to make sure I got concrete proof before I made any accusations. The car was just retuned and I just got my money back a few weeks back (it’s a long process). This isn’t a video I wanted to make. I’m fortunate enough to be in a decent place in life and I kept picturing a younger me saving for months/years to afford these mods and a tune. This is not a cheap hobby and I would really hate to see someone else go through this. So this is more of a warning. The bottom line is no customer should have to go through this. I purposely did not monetize this video and I didn’t brand it in any way (no social media links, no end screen etc) in order to not gain anything from it. I don’t want the drama, so this video is for the people.
Funny all the haters sticking up for “ that “ tuner miss the most important clue on why it is you made this video. The point that he should have just been straight up and honest while he was tuning, by telling you the car isn’t running right. Something seems off, we should stop and look at things. Not by just band aiding it and telling you it’s good!

We all should be very careful on who we choose. Most importantly, we need to help each other out by calling these people out. Thanks for the feedback!
I hope Slowpoke is watching this so he can at least own up to his actions, if he hasn’t already.

And screw them especially for trying to make a fool out of you, any business lost from you pointing them out is deserved.

There’s so much more stuff that hasn’t been mentioned. Dude had no clue what he was doing. Worse part is he’s not humble enough to say it.
