As Martin said, either write who it is or dont write threads like this. Now there are plenty of company names mentioned here which have nothing to do with your complaints, but people who havent read through everything might just pick up a random name written here and think they are bad...
Do you see the point Im trying to make here?

What a gay thread, stop being a faggot and skirting around the name of the company.

If your big enough to post slagging the company off then at least be big enough to name them? Your only putting ever tuner local to you in the frame when the reality is only one of them has annoyed you!

Have you contacted this tuner to discuss what you are not happy with?, it seems a bit unfair to post on here without giving him the chance to correct the issues you may have.

what, like justifying how it took 130 minutes to fit a door card and 200 minutes to weld a seat mount? not to mention 260 minutes to fit a strut brace?
the time to discuss it would heve been before he paid the bill.and i wouldnt have paid anywhere near that for the jobs mentioned.

now thats fooking funny


sorry to here your breaking the car because of it stu.
i really dont wanna see my matesbill when it comes as i doubt he will be getting the same discount as you got.
i really thought with him being a new company he would be doing anything to make the customer happy as hes trying to build his reputation and this aint doing it any good

I'd like to hear what Si has to say.

sorry to say i doubt he'll work on my car now
