Old thread, but same question, anyone used these guys before?

[stevefreestyle]

John Holder (owner of Intune MS) is a passionate Ford V8 man, with a comprehensive wealth of knowledge on XR8s & GTs, and used to VERY competitively race a VERY quick XR8.

Some years ago I purchased a CAI off him, and found him a top bloke and extremely helpful - and at the best price !

Check him out here, getting 383 RW-KW from a brand new stock GT 335 with only a flash tune:

Hi,

John is very very good with his fords.

My cars are modded and tuned in his shop over many years, Ive had a BA XR8 and a few BA/BF XR6Ts in there.

I would leave my car there no issues as I know John will look after it. He is very reasonably priced, gets your car in and out very quickly and stands by his work.

Ive also referred other members to his shop and they have driven away happy.

unless you have used John, its pretty poor form to comment.

As ive said ive used John for many many years and never had an issue. Done all sorts of work from cams, to tunes to exhausts and supercharging. Modded my turbos.

For my fords, I would have no hesitation to recommend him, he is actually one of the safest tuners around.

Almost like never actually having owned a pd supercharged car but going to every length to try prove they are rubbish...

I'm after a new workshop to have my BA GT serviced.

Any suggestions?

I'm in the Sutherland Shire

Yep much better places to choose than PINGTUNE.

Again a pretty poor comment from someone that resides in South Australia.. troll

You live nowhere near the workshop (which is in western Sydney). Your comments have no basis.

I’m sorry but for you to be calling out another as a troll doesn’t sit well with me, here you are trying to tell someone that they have poor form and should not comment on a subject only from hearsay where for year’s that is all you have done with regard’s to comparison such as what you have read in a magazine !!!!!

You have been so vocal about the windsor and the T3 brigade against’s the LS1 and all your information has come from hearsay.

May I suggest you should read your own comment and take your own advice Mr Pot/Kettle.

.

And the sales charts of that period, people BUY the better product. But dont be bringing your other gripes into this thread, thats also poor form.

People from adelaide are giving advice on Tune shops in Western Sydney, All ive said is thats poor form.. They have no basis to do that.

That's very, um, er...well...stupid really.


This is a Internet Forum, a place were enthusiasts and knowledgeable people get together to share knowledge on subjects. Something like the reputation of a tuner isn't barricaded by postcodes or city limits. What if someone in another state wanted a reliable tuner and was prepared to travel?

Is it Friday already?

Ive never rubbished PD supercharged cars, just that a Centri can hold its own and is a better fit for a stock unopened motor. Dont twist my words...Your being a troll. Also its not for this thread so keep it for another day..

Who has more credibility here...

- Some bloke from south Australia who has read third hand accounts from roughie XR6T owners about intune which is based in Western sydney

or

- The HULK who has modded multiple cars in that shop! (V8s and I6 Turbos) over 10+ years of reliable motoring, all sorts of mods done with no issues to report.

Its funny isnt it.

You absolutely thrive on comments that have absolutely no basis,you are well known for it hulk and you know it,dont even try and judge others!

[SNB05T]

the other guys beat me too it

the only way I do it is to have a chat with the shops you're keen on. ask the questions you want answered and see how they answer it. if it sounds like a load of bollocks then move onto the next place.

I've never used them but I've heard good and bad stories (which is any shop including the ones I've used in the past)
the only stupid question is the one you don't ask and the only way you learn from mistakes is to make them.

[graphicgoose]

I've read of a whole heap of bad experiences with Intune over on the XR6 Turbo forums...to the point that it's become known as "Pingtune"...I'd personally take my business elsewhere, not because I've had a bad experience with them myself, but because I'd rather learn from others mistakes and heed their warnings

In Sydney the go-to workshops are CMS or Autotech, many happy campers from both those workshops bud.

Every workshop has had a story or two. The fact of the matter is that some people out there have roughie cars, they go to workshops thinking a tune fixes all problems, they dont tell the tuner the right story about their car and then expect miracles. They give very specific instructions usually ignoring the tuners advice and then winge when things go pair shaped.

Ive been to Johns workshop over many years, my cars are meticulously maintained, ive listened to his advice (not to push the car over x amount of power or boost etc), ive had no problems at all. Perfect.

Multiple cars, years of reliable driving, I have first hand experience with his shop, not heresay like many.

[swanee]

Never had a problem. 3 years since my GS was tuned.

My GS is still as strong as the day it was tuned.

[PepeLePew]

Search is your friend, here and on the other Ford themed forums....make up your own mind. Shops will always have their detractors and fans, I don't know about others but i research widely for anyone I use and form up my own stats. You cannot go by the limited feedback you'll find in a thread such as this. I know shops which used to have a so-so rep that are now well accepted, and vice versa. Tuning is such a black art especially when you're trying to squeeze that last drop, and if you really love that car spend the time. Course if its general servicing and mechanical thats a different piece of scenery.

[Mont5.0]

Done work on my car too, no dramas at all. Would definitely use him again. As mentioned, quick turn around and good after sales service.

[kypez]

Agreed with Hulk (!!!!). If you havent used his services, dont comment! Sometimes its better to accept that you dont have an opinion than make one up to get your post count up.

I use Intune for my Track XR8 and havent had any issues. 267rwkw NA for my XR8 which isnt much, but the motor is 195,000 kms old and I've had no issues with it. He's done all the work over the last 8 years on the car. Cant fault any of his work.

John knows his stuff and is very good. Cant recommend him highly enough. He will be doing any work I choose for the GTF.

Careful what you read on the internet. You never know what some muppets do to their cars and always like to blame someone else for issues. Not uncommon to get people go to 2/3 different tuners or try doing work themselves then blaming the tuner!

Wasn't that NSW po-po GT that blew up tuned by Intune...?

A car tuned for 98, but E10 was used, whilst the car was being driven... spiritedly..

[BFXR8]

I would say go talk to him personally and a few other places and make your mind up from there I have used him in the past to do work on a few different cars all v8 and have not had a problem but I do use another shop now instead of intune , but I have friends who have used him and would never go back there due to there bad experience with him .
