Well at this stage you should give them the benefit of the doubt and the chance to rectify whatever isn't right...............if not, then time to take further..............

ringing and not being able to talk to the head guy should give it away.... if its the company im thinkin of then he has allways been the same way except when he first started, he was most helpfull then, of course i could be barking up the wrong tree as it were, but this place just happens to be 3 hours ish from north east lol...

The way its going at the mo i think it wont be long till Me mate rstben names and shames but i told him to let them rectify the problems and give them the bennefit of the doubt before he does so. He has i chance to redeam himself when he goes to said company again for the set up once it reaches a thousand miles, if he then doesnt solve the bodges its name and shame time imo, but i will leave the decission up to my mate

NOT welllane, this is a SPECIFIC rst tuner and well respected in the rst world, thats why he is reluctant to name and shame cause i can guarantee 90% of people wont believe him if he named and shamed this company

absolutely agree, the company should be alowed to rectify the bodges before he names them, i still have a good idea whom he is talking about, im also sure they would have got him to put a big sticker across his windscreen lol,

on a better note, i hope he sorts it all out....

No sticker, i recomended them cause of there reputation as probably "the" best rst tuner in the country alongside carl norris.

I wish i had recomended Norris Motorsport now instead of this company.

No what i am saying is that i will not be recomending this company to amyone else ever again, the faults are minor faults, but it was the whole "dont tell him and let him find out for himself once hes 300 miles away" attitude that stinks imo, that and the fact they know what they have done is shabby but there trying to fob him off that the water pipes are not needed like the amal valve isnt, i aint no expert but i'm sure they are there for a reason and not just for a laught

Worst comes to worst you can gain quite significant revenge with a can of unleaded and a box of matches..........................

I'm NOT endorsing such behaviour though

THE best RST tuner in the country??? next to Karl Norris, i think not....well im sure the reputation of this company is great, BUT if its the same person/people whom im thinking of then he has a bunch of numptys working for him at the mo, shame really......ho hum it will all come out in the wash and if it dont then there will be alot of ppl who will become very weary of tuners in the midds lol, not such a bad thing tho...

ben phoned him today and the said gaffa agreed to put all the bits back to how they are, ben has to find some water pipes though cause he said he cant get any, which is fair enough in my book.

I will let ben expolin fully though when he comes on

Surely if they disposed of the old pipes they should be replacing or at very bare minimum covering the costs for them..............poor show if you ask me.

I agree totally..........you have paid what i would say is a GOOD amount of money, its bad enough to get such sloppy workmanship and to have to complain to what you've said yourself is a "known and respected" tuner, but then to be told you have to source you own parts (and i really hope you didnt agree to pay for the parts aswell) is a very poor show. They should be named either way if they are trying to pull fast ones.

oh yes ,and if anyone was gonna "come and kick fuck outa you" for work you pay for that doesnt satisfy your requirements previously agreed,then
A. they dont deserve to be in buisness!
B.should fare well on your side in a statutary rites case.

and furthermore,HE is directly responsable for employing "numptys",as he is either the proprietor or the director,to HIS buisness.

seek legal advise if your not happy ,and no resolve is appearing.
(trade and standards is a good start)

now, er who wants to fix MY car????
