  I'm pretty lenient and understanding when it comes to this stuff (why they are getting 3 stars[edited to 1 stars due to update below]) so keep this in mind. I came here based off the reviews from yelp and had high hopes. Mind you this place is also about 45-60 minutes from me so multiple trips were a bit frustrating by the end. Cool people and owner but as far as getting multiple guns teched, not happy. I provided a list of what I wanted to be done but some how he still wasn't sure what to do and wouldn't ask until I called 2-3 days later for a check in on the work. Stated he only had 1 or 2 guns ahead of me but when I call a week later he says that he just finished doing the 6 guns ahead of me and starting mine now. I started with 1 gun not shooting (ended up being the motor contacts) and 2 flat hops and tell him they need to be 400 fps the first time. The second time I ask for 3 spring swaps and gbb pistol repair. First time I get one gun back shooting 460 fps and pretty bad curving to the right starting at about 80 ft as well as feeding issues from ALL mags. The gun that wasn't shooting, shoots about 30 rounds and dies again. We then take those guns back and for round 2 and we do 1 gun not shooting (ended up being mosfet this time supposedly then story changed to broken motor contacts again so we got charged for him not fixing it right the first time? We don't abuse our guns.), 3 spring swaps to get them all to 400fps, a barrel/bucking swap on 1 as well as a pistol that the slide was locking up half way after about 10 shots. We get the guns back and the broken motor contact one is fine and shooting right at 400 fps but not shooting very impressive for a flat hop ugrade. The other 2 will now over spin on single shot with 11.1 lipo and won't shoot single, despite him knowing we use them because we talked about adding mosfets to those and now we are forced to use 7.4v. The pistol locks up the first 10-20 rounds I put through it which means they probably didn't even shoot it and they just cleaned it up (sort of). $300ish in tech work, $40 in gas and 4 hours of driving back and forth and guns aren't working well. IMO not the worst job but not worth it when I was willing to pay whatever as long as they worked well and wish I had a more reliable tech to use around me.
  Update 3/4: I took apart my hop up today to find an atrocious flat hop job. Brand new $15 prommy purple bucking was torn. They shaved the nub off but not the long alignment arm which means they left my contact area for the bbs as the shaved off imperfect area instead of removing the long piece as well as the nub and turning it sideways to achieve a more ideal surface for the bbs to run past. There's literally a hundred videos and guides that all do it that way and the info has been there for YEARS but a tech shop doesn't do it right? Gotta say that's just laziness. On top of this the actual flat nub they put in on my hop up arm has about 3mm of contact area and the outer edges are far from square or rectangle it is shaped literally like a pentagon, which explains why my bbs fly way off right after some distance because the front right flat area is longer than the left and putting more spin on the top right of the bbs. I really should have just done this myself but I trusted the guy based on these good reviews and his friendliness. Not my finest decision. Also never got back my stock barrel or bucking after the swap.
  
  Here is best how I can show you what my flat nub looked like if you are looking at the contact area... It SHOULD be nearly a perfect rectangle or at least squared off but this is what I got. Photos added to photo section under the business.
