About Us
Don't see what you need?  Have a special request?  Call or email - we will work to meet your needs. AWD/4WD testing available .

At Church Automotive Testing we tune just about everything with electronic fuel injection.  As long as we have the software or access to the ECU code, we can tune it for you.  So if you don't see your engine management system listed, don't worry, we almost certainly tune it.  If we don't we can probably refer you to someone that does.

How We Charge for Dyno Time
 
CAT charges in one of two ways for dyno time.  You always have the option of paying by the hour.  Hourly fees vary by vehicle type (2WD or AWD) and by services needed (Do you need a tuner?  Do you just want to test parts?  Are you tuning your own car?).  Your dyno time starts when we begin mounting up the car (the average car takes about 10 minutes to setup on the dyno) and ends when we are either done tuning, or if you are doing the work, you tell us you are done.  You are not charged for any time required to dismount the vehicle, torque the wheels, print out dyno plots, etc.
 
However, for many vehicles and engine management systems, we have so much experience that we are able to offer flat rate pricing.  This means that no matter how long it takes us, you pay only one price.  But be sure to examine our list of surcharges.  Some things are not included in flat rate tuning prices.  And no matter which billing method you choose, spilling toxic chemicals on our shop floor will cost you a cleanup fee.

Notes and Surcharges - Please Read!
--Oil or Antifreeze Hazmat Fee - If your car releases a substantial amount of oil or antifreeze you will be billed an additional $25.00
--Spark Plug Gapping - Flat Rate tuning does not include spark plug gapping.  If we must gap or replace your spark plugs during the dyno session, you will be billed $25.00 (does not include new plugs!!)
--Valve cover removal - Unless specified (F20/F22 or K-series), cam tuning does not include valve cover removal.  If we must remove your valve cover and install our own cut cover, there will be a $25.00 charge.  You may arrive early and use our tools to install our cut cover on your car at no extra charge.
--All Flat Rate tuning prices include the adjustment of boost controllers to customer desired boost level.
For those seeking more than 2 boost levels, or boost by gear setups (Apexi AVCR, Hondata, etc), there will be an additional charge
--Flat rate tuning also includes ignition timing setup (distributor movement), fuel pressure adjustments and throttle calibration
--You may choose to have your car tuned at an hourly rate instead of selecting Flat Rate pricing, this may be useful if you have already done substantial tuning on your own
--Existing customers tuned at Flat Rate prices will have future visits/retunes for new parts billed either hourly, or flat rate, whichever is lowest.
