just had is serviced and tuned. looked great at his shop. he says since its ran on computer its gonna look different then at his shop. Just dumped $100 bucks to get it done and its still not right......

reputable shops will have a warranty period ( i do ) .  so, take it back if its not right .
and then have HIM test it on a 'puter 

but DON'T get nasty about it,  unless it becomes absolutely necessary.

he said when i was there, he donsent service monitors used for mame because there can be differences when you hook them up to a computer. He said he would do mine, but it would look different when i hooked it up.

Not an expert here, but what kind of monitor do you have, and what resolution are you running it at?

You might be able to force MAME to the resolution he set it for. If you're running a multisync monitor at 640x480 and he tweaked for 336x240, going back to something close to his tweaking resolution might make the settings fall right in line.
Does your monitor have a remote board so you can see the effect of the settings? If not, you could put a mirror in front of the cab where you can see it and just move the knobs slowly. Its a pain to keep going from the back to the front of the cabinet, and easy to miss the effects of the changes you made unless they're drastic.

Make notes as you do this, because it will simplify things if you ever have to do it again.
