Finding a fully-equipped speed shop in Northeast Ohio isn’t quite as easy as finding one in say, Houston, Texas. With pot-holed filled roads, snow on the ground for six months out of the year, and much of the state either being too rural or too urban, it can be difficult to find a car builder or tuner for your performance ride.
Just over a year ago, a little shop called, Smokey’s Dyno & Performance has sprung up in the Akron area, about 20-minutes outside of Summit Racing‘s home base of Tallmadge. Offering tuning, customization and modifications for all types of vehicles from classic musclecars to exotic imports, it’s good to know there’s a shop for Akron-area locals that cater to their needs.
On July 25th of 2015, they’ll be hosting a Cars and Coffee event at their shop. Don’t forget to check it out!

SMOKEY’S DYNO & PERFORMANCE OFFERS EXPERT VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION AND TUNING
AKRON, Ohio – Creating one of a kind, high-performance luxury, exotic and domestic performance cars and trucks is the focus of custom tuning experts Smokey’s Dyno & Performance. The fast-growing company has developed a reputation for recommending and installing upgrades that satisfy an owner’s need for speed, style, or both, making them an in-demand resource for performance enthusiasts throughout Northeast Ohio and around the world.
A member of the exclusive ECU Tuning Group, North America’s elite vehicle software developer, Smokey’s works with the most advanced performance-enhancing software to improve engine performance for dozens of marques, including BMW, Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, Camaro, and many others. Tuning can be done at the shop as well as on-site at a customer’s home or at a vehicle dealership. Smokey’s also offers mail-order tunes, where customers can ship their vehicle’s computer to the shop for modifications and have it returned within days.
The 17,000-square-foot facility houses some of the most advanced equipment for tuning and customization, including a state of the art SuperFlow AutoDyn 880E AWD Dynamometer used by experienced software calibrators to test and tune vehicles, and the top of the line Hunter Auto 34 Tire Changer and the QuickMatch Hunter RoadForce Balancer for scratch-free tire and wheel mounting.
For customers seeking ultimate power upgrades, Smokey’s can recommend and install the best supercharger or turbo kit option to add horsepower and achieve maximum performance. The shop also offers high-performance parts selection and installation, leading performance wheel and tire brands, and top-quality maintenance care. The business strategy of co-owners and partners Brandon Masidonski and Peter Zoumberakis is to combine tuning expertise with attention to detail and high levels of service to create a memorable and enjoyable customer experience. Throughout the year, Smokey’s hosts a number of events where past, present and future customers gather to talk cars and plan their next upgrades. “Maximizing a vehicle’s potential and making a vehicle owner’s vision a reality is what we do best,” notes Masidonski.
Rick Seitz is the owner and founder of GMEFI Magazine, and has a true love and passion for all vehicles. When he isn’t tuning, testing, or competing with the brand’s current crop of project vehicles, he’s busy tinkering and planning the next modifications for his own cars.
