AMS Performance

There’s a reason why people bring cars from all around the world to AMS, it’s because they’re known to be one of the best in this industry. Sometimes when dealing with a large speed shop, you feel like you’re lost in the shuffle, but they always make me feel like I’m part of the family with their great service and is partly why I’ve been a customer for over a decade. Not only do they have amazing customer service, every part they deal with is only of high quality that you know will last a long time. So why AMS? High quality products, excellent customer service and support and the incredible work that they do overall.
My AMS built motor can be a testament to the great work that they have done and is the reason why I am returning to have my motor rebuilt after 8 years on the same block. Yes, I said 8 years on the same block with over 750hp and it could not have been possible without AMS.

I beg to differ.
I’m not that handy, so I made an appointment for carbon fiber driveshaft installation for my Subaru STi. After all, this is the home of the award-​winning Evo’s and GT-R’s. What can go wrong, right?
They charged me $ 270 for 2 hours. Now, this should’ve been a 30 minute work (I can research). OK, so the gaskets on the exhaust midpipe went bad, so the guy replaced both exhaust gaskets with some generic brand. OK, so then it should’ve been 1 hour total, NOT 2 hours.
Just because I am not handy doesn’t mean I’m not aware of them ripping me off.
I would not recommend this tuner shop.

Had two things done by this shop.
They did a pretty good job on my transmission (which was actually sent to shep trans in ohio for a rebuild) a few years back, but neglected to test it before calling me to pick it up — they had not connected the cables correctly to the stick from the gearbox, so that it wouldn’t spring back towards the center when moving the stick out of gear. that makes the car nearly impossible to put into 3^rd or 4^th while driving. They are very far out of the city. i did not enjoy having to make a second trip out there.
At that time i had also asked them to put in a steel, braided clutch line and they just didn’t do it. didn’t charge me for it, but didn’t care to mention it at any point either. I just happened to notice it not on the bill.
More recently i brought it back to their shop for other work, namely a recurring clank. at the shop I was made to feel like i was an inconvenience when i asked for a quote for the proposed work — like nobody ever asks for a quote there. eventually i was provided an oral quote after the gentleman looked up the parts on the internet.
I had to buy the parts up front which was about $ 250. The work ended up taking A Lot longer than they thought and the bill ended up being $ 1000 instead of ~500. however, they did call me to warn me that labor was going to be at least double, after they had taken a better look, but, i had already bought the parts and they wouldn’t have been very decorative in my living room.
Finally, they told me to come by to pick it up, that it would be ready at a specific time, which i did, and then ended up sitting in their waiting room for about 2, hours for it (plus 2 in travel, arranging of a ride etc.).
The best part? The clank remains — probably totally unrelated to the thing they replaced, now that I’ve talked to some other mechanics.

Great Shop.
Hands down, they’re the best at what they do.
We’ve had them working on our car off & on for 2 years now and continue to go there for all of our dynos & tunes.
Theres a reason why people bring their cars here from across the country.
Their pricing is comparable to any other shop around, yet their quality of service exceeds the other guys +++++.

Superb Quality parts for very decent prices. The people there are very knowledgeable and can help you with just about any of your inquiries. They tend to like the number nine. Home of the 9 second EVO (street legal) and the 9 second 240. Maybe more… They offer engine rebuild kits both basic and advanced. Excellent tuning shop.
