just wanted to let everyone know that Tuxedo has recently got a dyno and will be doing dyno tuning for 100 an hour. They are a great shop and Steve really knows what he is doing and is a honest guy. Great shop so If you need any work done I advise that you get in contact with them. they also rent out bays with or with out lifts for a reasonable price. They were a big help.

 

Uhh where have you been?



Big thumbs up to Steve and his wife though. They are fantastic.

 

what do you mean where have I been? didnt they just get the dyno? that was my main reason for the post to let everyone know about the dyno tuning.

 

I thik we've had Steve Kan there 3 times now. Its been a year at least.

Hell Steve Burkett already has it paid off, rigth Steve?

 

Yeah, Tuxedo Park Racing is the only honest race shop that's been in St.Louis. They offer fantastic service.

 

I would have to agree! I actually just got a letter from them the other day, Thanking me for doing business with them/Christmas card.

I only had my car tuned there once. Had a miner problem and they set me up with a drill and some bits to get it done. Very cool people to deal with. If I didn't do all my work my self or live so far away, They would have a lot of my business.

 

LOL... yeah they've had the Dyno for a while, and yes, they are great people to do business with! I highly recommend them!

The coolest thing happening there lately is the hourly rental bays! Dirt cheap and they even have a lift bay for rent!

They're having an open house on Jan. 27th... go check it out!

 

yeah 5 bucks for a bay without a lift and 12 for one with. without that i wouldn't have gotten my car running

 

What are you talking about?

 

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Eric - starting January 3rd we will be offering hourly rental of shop space, a lift bay, and select shop tools. Tim was our first customer - sort of a trial run if you will.

I don't want to cross link to advertisements on other forums but all the info is up now on a couple of local sites we sponsor I'm sure you can track it down. We'll get it up on our website when we get back from vacation on the first.

Thanks again everyone and have a great holiday!

Steven

FAQ's

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frequently asked questions:

Your hours don't work for me, can I come in at a different time?

Generally, no. But you are always welcome to check with us if you need to come in early or stay late. We may be able to accomodate you if other work requires our presence at the shop. Don't forget - appointments are required under all circumstances! We hope to offer walk-in service later in the year.

What if I can't finish within my scheduled time?

If no one is waiting on the space you are renting, you may continue to work as long as Tuxedo Park Staff are on site. You will be given 30 minutes warning prior to the next renter and/or close of business. If space is available you may continue work the next day. There is a $7.50 fee for unscheduled overnight stays.

What if I still can't finish?

You must vacate the rent-a-bay space prior to the next scheduled appointment. If the car is undrivable or you are waiting on parts, it may be stored at $7.50 per day if it rolls, or $15.00 per day on jackstands.

But what if my whole suspension is on the floor and I can't move the car?

If your car is in a non-lift bay, it can usually stay where it is at the storage rates above. Lift bays must be vacated prior to the next scheduled appointment and all standard rental hours your car spends in the lift bay are billed at $12.50 per hour.

But don't despair, where there's a will there's a way. We have the tools and experience to move your car to a storage bay safely, regardless of the state of disassembly. If you are unable to move it yourself, we will be glad to move it for you at our standard shop rate.

Is it safe to leave my car at your shop?

Tuxedo Park Racing cannot and will not assume liability for your property. That said, our building is fenced and the entrance gate and parking lot are patrolled regularly by local police, additionally the shop itself has an alarm system. Our facility is also equipped with an automatic sprinkler system. Your car will be stored inside our heated and secure shop at all times. But there are no guarantees in life, and if you don't feel comfortable leaving your car, don't!

Will your insurance cover me if I get hurt?

No! You will be required to sign a waiver before using any TPR tools, space or equipment. We will instruct you on the safe use of any equipment you use, but we assume that you have a basic working knowledge of how to work on a car safely. If you cannot take responsibility for yourself and your actions, we encourage you to work elsewhere. We do have plenty of band-aids on hand!

What if I break one of your tools?

We are reasonable people. If something breaks in the normal course of use, and no abuse is evident, we won't ask you to replace it. However we will not be liable for any incidental damage to your person or property. You are 100% responsible for any lost tool or damage due to misuse or abuse.

Please rent me spring compressors and other dangerous tools!

We're not willing to take that chance. If you would like us to swap your springs we will do so for $10 per loose assembly (i.e. hand us the strut, off the car). We also do not allow any torch work in our shop except by TPR staff. If you intend to do any welding please call ahead for advance permission. Other restrictions may apply.
