Some "tuners" are a f&*cking disgrace.

Pointless topic if you are not going to name the garage, why put the topic up if your not going to name them, it will come out in the end.
Name and shame for the safety of other PF users chipster.

Chip,
What do you mean: not your place to say lol
Imgaine some other poor sod off here goes to this place and then reports back how bad his or her's car is. What you not feel a little bad knowing you didnt warn everyone here? Its a public forum, you are allowed to name and shame.
Feel sorry for the guy concenred. Well done for sorting it

Given that Ive made it very clear in this post I would go to Mark Shead with autronic, then if anyone goes to the same place as this with Autronic to be mapped no I wouldnt feel guilty as Ive already told them what to do.
As I said in the post, I know they HAVE managed to map cars on other ECU's so potentially there is no reason not to use them if you arent on autronic anyway, although I do think that given they have full rolling road facilities they should have realised they had NOT got it working properly and should have sought Mark's help in his capacity of official UK distributor of course, not handed it back still not mapped.

Chip,
If they haven't got the background knowledge to have a decent stab at mapping autronics with 15 days to learn it, i certainly wouldn't trust them with anything else!

chip, i think in this scenario, where you have undisputed proof that the work caried out was not up to scratch and inexcusable, then name&shame is fine. it's only if its one of these "2 sides to evey story" situations it's not appropriate

My friend has asked me not to name them, partly as threatening to do so is good ammunition, and partly I suspect because if they dont issue a refund he will be sueing them and he doesnt want anything to effect that (not that I see how it would really, but its his wishes so I will honour that)

could have saved 2 pages of people asking who it is by posting that in the 1st place.

That backs up my suspicion. If it is who I think it is Im surprised as the company in question are normally fairly fair....

So your mate gets a crappy job done, that's bad, YOU then alter it and think he stands a chance of a refund when you have destroyed the evidence.
Should have taken it straight to somewhere more competent to get a 2nd opinion, as evidence.

Their map still exists, we saved it off before we touched it, so it can easily be loaded back onto the ecu, and presumabley they also have a copy of it on file still, so if they wanted to suggest it wasnt the same map, they would need to produce the working one, which without his car again to map it on, they arent going to be able to do anyway.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I havent seen the map yet or tested it to give a comment on it but I will be looking at it soon.

Exactly what I was thinking......lol....
Whats the difference, now everyone knows it was Kenny that crashed, everyone wants to know who mapped the car.....

Im not looking for attention, im looking to warn people not to trust someone just cause their workshop looks flashy, it applies to MANY tuners im sure not just this one, so its irrelevant which one this was as to wether that information is useful to people.
