Reflash In So Cali

grenas17 · 10-15-2008, 12:32 AM

I was wondering where the people in So Cali have gone to get their ECU reflashed. Its a possibility that I may do this, but I want to go to a shop I can trust. I went on Hondata's site and got the list of the shops down here that do it, but I was just curious if anyone would recommend a certain shop.

All reflashes for the TSX require the shop to send your ECU/Immobilizer/spare key to Hondata HQ.

I recall there was a shop close to Hondata HQ, which will just drive your car over there to reflash it, forgot the name.

I recall that when there was a "group buy" went for the reflash, they went to Church Automotive, Wilmington, CA (310) 713-6171
and they waited there while the peson in the shop drives your car to Hondata in Torrance to get reflashed, then comes back.

I was looking at that place. I was also looking at Epic Motorsports in torrance. Either way, I want a place that can do my reflash the same day with little wait time.

Thanks for the info Kevin. Oh, I will be calling TWS this week or next week, so I will tell them you sent me. Thanks for the info on both topics.

Sounds like a legit place then. Thanks for the info man. I will be sure to ask for Kevin.

Actually, I think Epic is no longer in business but Kevin is working with Church Automotive in Wilmington. Just go to Church Automotive. I remember Epic moved from Torrance to Wilmington so they may have just merged with Church. Not too sure though.

listen to Daniel. He's the one that I learned about Kevin/EPIC motoring from.

I guess just go to Church and tell them you heard about the reflash in a day thing.

They went in on a building together. Kevin has gone off to do bigger and better things. Church is the place.
