Smart, Professional, and Ethical. I've known the owner for over 10 years. Todd is a master at high performance tuning and the numbers he consistently generates on the dyno prove it!
Truly professional service..
It was strikingly clear from the first time I called Motion Lab Tuning that this is not a typical garage. These men are professionals in highest sense. Each of my many questions were thoroughly
addressed; easily betraying the depth of their knowledge of, and passion for, my most humble of Subarus.
While they are known for their tuning, Motion Lab was happy to take care of care of the engine repair I needed as well the performance upgrade I wanted. Alex and Todd honored their estimate to the letter and maintain very reasonable labor rates.
As much as I love my car, it really is small potatoes for these guys. While in their shop it was sitting beside machines being built to make two, even three times as much power. Despite all this, my car was treated with equal attention to detail. Todd, the owner/tuner, took his time making sure my car was humming perfectly both on and off the dyno. The results of his work made fall in love with my 2006 WRX all over again. Power is immediate and smooth, adding a serious sense of urgency to entire powerband. Their installation is factory quality, just look at their own cars if you have any doubt. 100 Ft Lb of additional torque to the wheels can only make you smile.
Want to know what changes they made to my car? Just call and ask them, an actual human being answers the phone. I have even gotten them way beyond their regular office hours. I was kept fully up to date as work on my car progressed; the owner himself even asked me to call him back after I had time to drive the car and feel the changes with the new tune. While in their shop I have seen them give customers looking for even the most simple of repairs as much of their time as they need. Does this sound like good service to you? It is; and frankly, it is refreshing. There is simply no excuse not to see what Motion Lab Tuning can do for your car.
Thank you for your time.

Great people and work. Excellent group of guys who know what they're doing. Detailed everything they did to the car - and it breathed new life into the thing. I would definitely go back here for any other performance needs with the car.…
Excellent performance shop, great customer service.
I bought a set of coilovers for my 2010 Genesis Coupe, knowing I would need to find a shop to install them. I'm typically the type that prefers to work on my car myself, because I'm a bit nervous
about making sure things are done right and that every bolt is tightened to spec, etc. Since moving to NC, though, I don't have access to as much space and many of the tools I used to.
I've met the MotionLab guys before, and one of the things that has made me more comfortable with them is their involvement in the local tuner scene. Todd, the owner, and some of the other guys at the shop regularly attend local car events including the monthly Cars and Coffee gathering at Northlake. I feel like I know the owner personally and would feel comfortable just dropping by the shop to hang out. These guys are very professional but also friendly and approachable; you never feel like they are too busy or too important to spend a few minutes chatting. You can tell from some of the customer vehicles in the parking lot and in the shop that both the clientele and the shop operators take pride in their rides. So I decided to give them a shot.
Bottom line, they did the work quickly and for nearly half what another shop was going to charge me. Even though the Genesis Coupe isn't one of the cars in which they "specialize", they were able to speak intelligently about the car and seemed to know what they were doing. When I arrived, they walked me through what I wanted out of the install - how much I wanted to bring down the ride height, how I like the ride stiffness, if I wanted crazy camber - they even offered to make an appointment with their alignment shop for me. I dropped the car at 11:00 and before 3:00 I had a call saying it was done. They took the time to road test it and readjust the damper settings, even telling me specifically how they configured everything. All of my stock pieces as well as the documentation and spanners from the kit were placed carefully back in the box and back in my trunk. Alex encouraged me to take the car for a spin and bring it back in for any last-minute adjustments if I wanted.
I left feeling confident that I went to the right place. After a week of driving on the new suspension, I now know without a doubt I went to the right place - I haven't heard a squeak, creak, pop, clunk, or bang from the coilovers yet. Only scrapes when I forget how low my car is now.
Motion Lab earned my business, and I'll send others there.…
