Emmanuele Design

I found out about Thomas while searching for a tune. After deciding to go with GIAC’s tune, I contacted Thomas.
He quoted me a very fair price for the flash and educated me on mixing E85 and 91. Great service and results. I later went back to get the Forge chargecooler with expansion tank installed. No leaks, no more heat soak and as an added bonus, Thomas also flashed me back to stock whenever necessary for dealer maintenance.
There was a mixup with pricing and I actually had an outstanding balance, but Thomas never pressured me or tried to hunt me down. He pays attention to detail and is meticulous in his installs. The area he works in is large and is conveniently located off the 5 freeway.
His waiting area has great AC, has drinks and a TV to pass the time. If I still drove an Audi I would go back for more mods. However… he is able to provide tuning for F-​Type R so I’m still in luck! Unfortunately, the symptoms of refractory-​moditis have no cure but the toys and goodies he has curbs the need.
Bottom line: When the RS3 comes out I will be going back to Thomas for a custom fab for 550+ at the wheels.

Thomas is very intelligent and helpful. He provides great customer service. He also pays attention to detail while working on your car and gets it done in a timely fashion. These qualities make me a returning customer!

I dont have a Unilocal account so I have to use my gf’s. I have never write any other Unilocal review before but because of how Thomas treated me… I felt the least I can do is write him a good review.
Thomas installed the remus catback exhaust with diffuser for me and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. He even threw in some free vagcom mods for me. Thomas’s customer service level is top notch. He kept in contact with me throughout te entire time, from the day I emailed him for a quote to the day of the appointment. His shop closed at 5pm but he was willing to wait for me when I told him that I get out of work at 5pm. He told me that day he have an event to attend and he need to leave around 7 but he will do it for me. Even though he was in a rush, he took his time installing my exhaust. By the time it was finished, it was already 7:30. He was clearly late for his event and I felt really bad for it.
If you have questions… don’t be afraid to email him. He is very helpful and respond to your email really fast. I will definitely come back for other modifications (once I save enough money again that is).

Went in to install some H&R springs and spacers, Thomas and the team did a great job. Only took a hour or so. Very friendly and great customer service. Will be coming back for more upgrades! Thanks Thomas!

Came back today to install a pair of Bilstein rear sport struts. Thomas again did a great job. Easy and simple. Also, he was able to adjust my headlights as well. Again, will be coming back for future mods.

This place was great! Made an appointment for 10 am to do Stage 2 on my Audi S4, got there an hour early and they took my car right away and they did a perfect job. Even got to spend a bit of time with Thomas learning about the car and what it can do. Highly recommend these guys!

Just installed downpipe for mk 7 gti at Emmanuel design. Thomas and the crew did an excellent job. Highly recommended Emmanuel Design and will be back to for more mod.

Sent Thomas an email and he was quick with his response. He is very knowledgeable about his products. My new MK7 GTI is at the shop this morning having Neuspeed sport springs installed** IT’S SATURDAY**.Great customer service. Will be back!

I came here to get my car tuned, I got in contact with Thomas Emmanuelle the week prior via email. He was very attentive and responded to my emails right away. He was very knowledgeable and informative on all the questions I had and his recommendations were very unbiased. I looked around at a few other tuning shops and this place had hands-​down the best prices. I was greeted immediately and Thomas took my car to the back and start working on it. It took him about 2 ½ hours to complete an installation was free. Other places quoted me 5 – 6 hours of work and was going to charge me anywhere between $ 70-​$ 90 Per hour. The other advantage was that he had everything in stock whereas most other places quoted me at least a week in shipping time. He also followed up with me after this elation to make sure that everything was okay, after installation he went over with me the product and any information about the operation I should be aware of. The waiting area at the shop was clean convenience he has water and coffee complementary there is a flatscreen TV and Wi-​Fi if needed. I am planning on having future upgrades including a full exhaust system and will definitely go back for more work to this place. Things could not have gone better.

Thomas is one of the most helpful people I’ve ever met in the business. He is kind and quick to reply to any question you have and bar none has the best prices in the area. They are well experienced working with European cars, and I feel safe taking my MK6 Gli here. They offer free installation on many items and are always doing awesome group buys and specials. 5 stars! Will return

Thomas offers the best prices in town. I got my GIAC stage 2 tune and DSG tune for my 2013 AUDI S4 and all I can saw is wow. The power and torque is ridiculous. It has turn my car into a different car.
Great customer service and friendly atmosphere
