Pleides Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I recently moved and they're much closer to me than PRERacing, who I've been using for a few months for my tuning needs and such. I've emailed HMS a couple times without response, called them and gotten a voicemail message, and both Surgeline and PRERacing have told me that HMS is closing. Any idea what's going on over there? Would be a real bummer if they closed right around the time I moved very close to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino6303 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 They are by appointment only last O checked. However I don't think Steve works there anymore as he is a mechanic for Wilsonville Subaru now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shralp Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I’d drive extra miles any day to take my car to Surgeline, just sayin’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleides Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) I’d drive extra miles any day to take my car to Surgeline, just sayin’ I had just gotten back from Surgeline when I posted this. I don’t have them do my tunes because I don’t have an AP. I was impressed by how fast they fixed my axle shaft seal (which is what I was in for) but a little weirded out by the fact that they had no record of ever having performed a valve adjustment on any car that’s come through their shop when I asked for an estimate. PRE can do it for me with the engine in the car (for about $400 if I recall) while Anthony told me that, given how lengthy of a job it was (he used AllData to get an idea) it wouldn’t be worth it for a high-mileage car like mine. I know that lots of people forego valve adjustments on these cars, but it seemed odd that they’d never done one. My motor has perfect leakdown (with tight valve clearances), so I don’t really want to just say “ah screw it, I’ll save my money for when the engine blows.” Anyways. I liked the shop otherwise (and they had a shop dog!) but won’t be going to them for everything for my car. I’ll be going back for sure though.

Pleides Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 The only email they've posted for contact is info@horizontalmotorsports.com. I’ve emailed that email I think twice now with zero response. This was over a month ago with a week or two inbetween. Are they not taking in new customers?

Yamon234 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Damn sorry to bump a dead thread but this is sad to here. Steve tuned my Subaru and as far as I can tell they closed like 3 months later. I've been trying to get some help from him because I've been told there's an issue with my tune. Guess I'll have to find somewhere else.

rhino6303 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Steve works at PRE now. He doesn't tune anymore but you might get some answers to reach out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
