If you are thinking of going to AAM or Altered Atmosphere Motorsports in Gaithersburg Maryland, think again. I used to work for Mr. mike and randall mahaffey. I saw what goes on behind the scenes. This company is EXTREMELY untrustworthy. They take on customers cars and Mike, the "master tuner" doesn't even touch them. In fact, he doesn't even know how to tune half these cars. He merely buys the base maps from overseas, and then changes settings here or there in a hope to make it run better. He has blown up many cars, and ripped off EVERY customer that he has ever dealt with. Mike Mahaffey has taken money from customers like Jarrod Norman of NC, the owner of a Stealth VR4, he has paid over $50k and the car hasn't been touched. The car has been sitting for over a year, and mike jokes casually about never intending to touch it. He was discussing filing a mechanics lien on the car so he doesn't have to do the work. There are HUNDREDS of customers just like this gentleman that have been taken advantage of, and have paid through the nose, but have gotten no results. Mr. Mahaffey is not a capable tuner, nor is he a trustworthy person. Please re-think your equation and seek a more capable alternative such as GT Motorsports.

I've had an excellent experience with AAM
AUTHOR: SammyJL - (Canada)

I thought I'd share my thoughts about this. I have nothing but praise for Mike who indeed touched my car to do his tuning magic. Not only did he tune my car to new levels of performance but he came all the way to Oshawa, Ontario to do it. How many US companies do you know of that provide that level of service. I haven't had the pleasure of dealing with Mike since then, about 6 years ago now, because I haven't had one problem with my car since he tuned it, but I want to have him rebuild my block to be able to handle even more boost than I have now, but can't afford it just yet. I own a 2003, G35 with a Greddy twin turbo kit, one of the first installed in Ontario.
Mike, you're a hell of a guy, thanks again.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have had an excellent experience with Altered Atmosphere. They installed a Procharger Superchager and exhaust system on my 2003 Nissan 350z. I am extremely satisfied with the level of service that I received from Altered Atmosphere. I have been very pleased with their level of experience and professionalism. I am very happy with the whole experience. They are and will be the only shop that ever touches my 350z in the future.
