Default Dyno runs in Melbourne
Where is a good place to get dyno runs done in melbourne, and at a decent price? I'm about to upgrade my exhaust and would like to do a before and after run. I use to get runs done for $50 at a place in lilydale (they sponsored the lexus forum which i was a member of) but now that I'm in the ford camp the offer no longer applies :(

My experience was get an opinion on the forums and then bargain!
I went as mentioned to G&D in Cranbournme and mentioned the forums and $40 dollars later had a dyno run the next day! Am dissapointed with G&D for poor customer service but their Dyno result was pretty spot on (as ive had numerous since and they were in the ballpark). Anymore than $40 and your being ripped off!!!!

Lmao so the fact your a repeat customer isn't enough for a cheap quick dyno run go to a place that isn't so hungry for your dollar.

I've never been to G&D but in your opinion what should you pay for a dyno run?
Also you say poor customer service, what weren't you happy about?

It's all good....reminded them I have been a repeat customer and negotiated on a reasonable deal ($60).

I think most places are charging $100+ for power runs. : .
