Tidewater Z isn't able to do tuning that requires a dyno because they don't have one. IMO its a great place for maintenance, bolt-ons and performance parts that don't require dyno tuning but, I might be a little baised due to the head mechanic/owner being a friend.

The only down side to his shop is they do not install costumer supplied parts as a general rule. Understandably that has rubbed some people the wrong way. He has been burned too many times by customer supplied parts. His prices have been very fair on parts.

I'm in Tabb so Tidewater Z is just down the street from me. I have been curious as to whether they did good work. There has been a Z shop at that location since at least the early 80s, how long has your friend worked there?

I'm unsure how long he has worked there. IIRC he worked there for awhile then bought the business from the original owner. I would guess 20+ years easily. He does a great job, I wouldn't take my Z there if he didn't. His advise alone has been invaluable. He has steered me to better choices in parts and in the long run has saved me money.
