Would not recommend.

It's a waste of time and money to try to tune a car when it's not ready to be tuned. that's the moral of the story.

a tune is going to tune the air/fuel ratio's and timing when the rest of the car is operating correctly. if the car is not operating correctly/consistantly there is no way you can get a correct/consistent tune.

bringing the car half complete, with issues, ended up wasting our time and your money, and i would be upset about the situation as well. the difference is, i would take responsibility for the car not being ready to be tuned, not have a buddy make a screen name just to bash the unlucky shop who had to deal with this headache car.

We will gladly re-TUNE the car for FREE if the car is brought to us before friday. If the car has any other issues while the car is on the dyno other than just needing to be retuned. You will need to pay for the time and repairs.

Jeff, because of the circumstances that you created with the car and your thread, we're offering to re-TUNE it for free no later than friday.

The offer doesn't stand for next week or the day after. We've given your car way more attention than you've paid for and in return we got our business and reputation bashed by you and your friends.

If you need more time to fix issues on the car and or can't bring the car to be tuned by this friday then we will tune it at the regular price of $600.

Jeff,

1. you're contradicting yourself, and admitting that when you first called us and said "all it needs is bigger injectors installed and a tune," that was a Lie.

2. you've agreed that there are other issues on the car that you still need to address and haven't had the time to fix yet.

your words "I did listen to the advice but I put it on my to-do list and haven't had time get what I need"

3. We pointed out MANY issues that this car had before we strapped it to the dyno to tune it, but all you wanted to do was tune.

You stated that money wasn't an issue in this thread but when you were here your reason for not being able to fix the issues we gave you for your "to-do" list was.....money.

4. We charged you our regular tuning price of $600 and $50 for installing your injectors. that's $650

then you came back because the car still wasn't running right, and we come to find out it still has a stock 20+ year old fuel pump in it. so we install the fuel pump and wire in the used boost controller for $200. And after the other 4 times of the car being on the dyno and the tuner wasting his time on the car, we charged you $400 in additional dyno/tuning time.

grand total you spent about $1250-1300 after tax/shop supplies

5. we ALL agree in our 20/20 hind-sight that you wasted $1000 in tuning by trying to tune the car when it had a bunch of issues and wasn't ready to be tuned, as stated previously in my point #2 and you in your "to-do" list.

so you're upset you wasted your money, but instead of taking responsibility for your actions, you blame the shop.

my point for #5 however is that out of all that 1300 bucks, only $200 we charged you ever went towards addressing 2 of the many issues, installing the used retarded boost controller that worked when it wanted to, and a fuel pump that isn't 20 years old and designed to work on a naturally aspirated bmw.

so for you to say and imply that you PAID for your car to be fixed absolutely perfect, without any "quirks" or problems, is a lie as well.

so what you're saying is,

1. You lied about the car being ready to be tuned

2. You wasted your own money because of that

3. You know the car still has issues that need to be fixed before it's ready to be tuned

4. You know the parts you bought are crap now that you could see them

5. It's all our fault the car runs like crap
