Ouuch.

Get comprehensive and drive it off a cliff. Jump out first of course. Then start over.

You are a patient man.

My guess is you're not a gun owner.

Wow, what a story. Those of us that tend to have faith in people often pay for it. Sometimes you just have to get nasty.

Hopes it all comes together in the end for you. :cheers:

I am really sorry to hear that, but in my opinion I would never trust anyone but myself to build or work on my engine, just my 2 cents.....
I would be getting a lawyer and suing that company for all its worth and then some.....also call better business :mad

Sphincter/Hertes, Maalox II does that sound like one of the advertisers? You bet! I'll do whatever it takes to put him out of the biz! :boxing

Wow, I don't come to the Scan and Tune section very often. THAT IS A HORRIBLE STORY!! I would be suing the every living crap out of them. That 'tuner' (using term loosely) always seemed kind of shady to me. Reminds me of Hennessey... :mad :mad

Safe to say the tuner is local to you.
I never trusted them due to their arrogant attitude over the years.

Damn ... the only thing that some tuners are good for is an oil change ...

I assume they are the tuner that is closest to you ... I hope it isnt my local Ohio Tuner ...

Needless to say, Labor Day Weekend comes and goes, but he somehow makes it to Bowling Green for the Super Tuner Shootout! He looses every challenge so there is some salvation to the trip I didn’t make.
I think this is the real problem, he is using your MOD money TRYING to make a name for himself instead of MAKING a name for himself through good customer service.

Your story really turned my stomach, I feel for you.
Everyone gets what they deserve in the end.
Good luck and be sure to let us know how things turn out.

It appears you have done your homework well, and should have quite some proof of his "negligence". You would probably have to sue the company, and he would then claim bancruptcy, but aren't you looking to close his doors anyways ?? I wish you the best and can only say word of mouth on the forum is your best indicator. Thanks for yours :cheers:

I feel for you!! I had a similar experience with Hennessey. I still have not received a penny. Lots of promises though. :rolleyes:

My advice is to cut your losses and move on. :(

I'd like to know who it is as well. Pls e-mail me at thom.chow@attws.com

As for lawsuits, I had a similar experience w/ a contractor building my deck/gazebo. Won the lawsuit, but the guy disappeared. Never had any success collecting. :reddevil
