I discovered this place a few years ago after having issues with the work quality of dealerships and other mechanics. I’m so thankful that I did. I’ve never met a mechanic that is more straightforward, professional, meticulous, or knowledgable than Tim. I’ve had extensive work done on my 06 Escalade and 05 Avalanche over the years including a street tune on both and they run better than they ever have. I’ve switched to using him for all of my regular maintenance, because Tim does it right the first time and his pricing often beats the dealerships. As a commercial pilot and aircraft owner, Tim is the only mechanic I’ve met that is as meticulous with cars as I have to be with the maintenance on my airplane. For that reason and many others, I will continue to use him for all of my vehicle maintenance needs and would advise anyone else to do the same.

Tim Gamble is an LS Wizard! The review is well overdue. So, I took my car to Tim about a year ago. After I had some work done by a so-called "reputable" shop, the car wasn't running right, and I was blowing through O2 sensors like they were going out of style. So, I was recommended to try Tim's shop. Right away, when I called Tim, the customer service was top-tier. He treated me like he genuinely cared about my concerns and wasn't irritated with me asking questions and wanting to learn. When I took the car in, he sat me down and went over the parameters of my tune and taught me what was wrong and what it should look like (my car was running rich as hell). Overall, he was able to fix all the errors the last shop just threw together, and through the test drive, I fell in love with my car all over again. I really can't recommend his shop enough. Talk about an honest, welcoming guy; my only problem is he was Army and not Air Force, lol.

Just got my 2007 Chevrolet C6 Corvette Tuned and I must say Tim did a great job. Car feels more responsive now shifts a lot quicker now. I have a 6-Speed Auto and rarely used the paddle shifters due to the lag it had, But the tune fixed that. The Vette is much more fun to drive now. Not only did he tuned it he also explained what was done which he calibrated air fuel ratio, timing and spark delivery to maximize the performance of my Vette. He also explained limits of tuning he was able to do due to my catalytic converters being clogged up, especially with my Vette with more than 100,000 miles. Thanks to this advice, I now know what upgrades needed to be done. Deep Stage Tuning and Performance also offers remote tuning up to 6 months which great because you can have your car re-tuned after you made upgrades to your car. I feel getting your car tuned is the one of the "Best Bang for Buck" performance upgraded you can do to any car. I definitely recommend Tim and Deep Stage Tuning & Performance

Tim performed a remote tune on my 2015 Corvette w/LT4 SC...it had been previously tuned at a local shop on a dyno with less-than-acceptable results. Tim, with a single file write, managed to smooth the power delivery, smooth the transmission shifts, and make the drivability of the car like it was a completely different vehicle from the one I picked up from the other tuner. I wish I could get back what I paid for the dynotune I had received. Tim obviously knows what he's doing, and I would highly recommend his services....

I am so glad I found this performance shop. Owning the C8 has been a long time coming, and then proceeding with upgrades now is something I am really looking forward to. Finding that one shop that you can trust to work on your car can be a challenge. With Deep Stage, the owner is as much a car enthusiast as I am and takes care of your car as if it was his own, as well as his employees. Even from a sales standpoint, they are fair on product pricing and related labor pricing. I am gonna be happy to use them again for anything else I want to do. You can't go wrong with them!!

Great work! They diagnosed my sick Camaro as some bad injectors, - after fixing that problem, they updated the crate motor tune that the engine came with, and it is truly running better than ever now!

I recently completed an L86/8L90 swap into my 95 Bronco prerunner. I previously used a Dallas based tuner who didn't know these GenV swaps and made a real mess of the tuning...or lack thereof. The truck was undriveable until i met Tim. We worked on the entire tune remotely using HPT and email. He is very responsive and in a few days had the truck running perfectly. I cannot stress how easy Tim made the entire process and how quickly he works, We need more than 5 stars.... Thanks Tim

Brought in a problem mustang, Tim said “That’s what we do for a living”. Gave me a price and even though it was not a simple plug-n-play and took longer than Tim wanted the price was the price. Timing for me was perfect 2 week wait for my problem at the time, gave him a problem no one else in Oklahoma nor Arkansas would touch done in a week. Could not be happier thank you for the service recommend to anyone.

So I haven’t done much to my 2010 Camaro 2ss but I really wanted to get it tuned and get some professional opinions on things I’d would really like to do in the future. Tim came into the office and went out of his way to explain some things to me and how the things I was interested in doing worked, it was really eye opening that there are still good considerate people still around these days. Then when I came to pick it up he explained what he had done and gave the the whole run around. And let me tell you when I dropped my Camaro off the tune was completely BONE stock, and I never would’ve thought how much it would make the car completely different from when I dropped it off, he told me “it will take a few days to learn how to drive it again” and man he wasn’t joking, it fully unleashed what the car and it’s potent V8 motor is made of, while still not having too many modifications done to it yet! Will definitely be looking forward to going to Tim and his team in their new shop for all car modifications and needs! Thank you Tim it was a pleasure to meet you kind sir! -Austin

Tim is an excellent mechanic and he knows his field of expertise. He was recommended to me by my brother and has never let me down. He was able to handle something as simple as an oil change efficiently, competently, and with competitive pricing. He had betting pricing than Jiffy Lube and didn’t try to charge me extra for things my car doesn’t need! Overall it was a great experience, excellent service, and I would recommend Tim and Deep Stage Tuning & Performance to anyone looking to improve their car, or just needing something simple like an oil change. Outstanding quality with zero issues.

Honest and very fair, great family and surgically clean facility. Most professional and totally knowledgeable. Troubleshooting experts fixing others mistakes and not up to par installations. Nothing scares them.

Took my 1978 chevy malibu to have cam and heads upgraded, car had been sitting for a couple of years, but ran when i took to Tim, i paid cash up front, i was charged for services he did not perform. Changed exhaust he did not seal. Recommended a friend and he got screwed also, my friend had to take his truck somewhere else. Owner is a smooth talker! WOULD NEVER Recommend! Lesson learned here do your research!!

Had an appointment set with him but decided to go a different route after speaking to several other local tuners . He said we wouldn’t stand behind his tune because I used a Texas speed cam, also said he would have my tune done in an hour or 2 , wonder how he can log cold cranks with a truck that’s at operating temp sure he is a great tuner but just didn’t sit right with me average tuner that’s properly street tuning a vehicle needs it for more than an hour or 2 .

DON’T EVER TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. WILL QUOTE YOU ONE PRICE AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO PIC IT UP ITS OVER TRIPLE THE PRICE THAT WAS QUOTED. STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO HAVING TO MAKE A CUSTOM PART BUT WAS NEVER CALLED AND ASKED IF THAT WOULD BE OKAY. JUST TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO DO IT AND CHARGE ME WAY MORE THAN QUOTED. NEVER GO HERE. RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AND THESE PEOPLE.

Tim will lie to your face. We paid for a dyno tune, but the car never touched the dyno. The car ran better before he touched it, even after he tried fixing his mistakes the second time. I paid almost $900 and didn't get a dyno run and only about an hour of flash, non dyno tuning. The hour was him trying to figure out how to tune it with his laptop. I ended up ordering an sct programmer from Brenspeed for $400 and now the car runs better than it ever has. Tim apparently didn't know we had a gps in the vehicle. Nothing he said matched the data. I'll never set foot again in Deep Stage. My suggestion: run. I'm not new to tuning, but Tim apparently thought I was and could get over on me. The only reason I went to Tim was because Bo isn't around anymore, Andre couldn't get me in quick, and I was trying to find an honest shop, which Deep Stage definitely isn't.

I’ve modded my 2017 C7 throughout the years and have gone through multiple tuners (reputable ones at that!) and this is the first time EVER having my Vette running at optimal performance! It’s a joy to drive again after 5yrs. Tim was on it when I first reached out to him about my car and not having good tuners in Hawaii. He is customer focused, engaging, and patiently worked with me on getting the most out of a tune. His knowledge with tuning LT/LS engine platforms were outstanding. I Highly recommend Tim for all your tuning needs. You won’t be disappointed!
