I had to look-up my invoice from last year... This is the exact same place that I went to... 2209 Federal Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90064. It's in a ****-hole industrial complex with furniture and crap stacked inside their little shop. The guy who did my chip didn't even know how to remove it. For that matter, he looked under the hood and didn't even know where it was located. Some Danish kid... When he reinstalled the ECU the car wouldn't start and the owner (some other kid) comes out to help. The f'd with the ECU for another 30 mins. then got the car to fire and then it threw codes and the CEL. Then the "owner" kid had to go into his office and download a program that was loaded onto their laptop and then plugged into my OBD port to shut off the CEL.
These guys are losers and from what I hear, the programs were hacked from someone else.
