Trans Tune Issues

[inferno camaro]

I would not have gone with them as there are alot of shops around and my car is my car and I should not be denied access to anything with it. Its not so much the locking, its the fact it can't be unlocked with out going back completely stock. The only reason I went with them was pick up and delivery that was basicly free because of savings on sales tax, and they said they could do it a little sooner which ended up not being the case. All in all I new the risk except the lock, and I have got them to return it to stock and will move on. Thats really all I was after, just would have been nice to not have to ship the ecm and haul the car to the other shop. They obviously have a high percentage of happy customers, congrats to you and them.

if they told you they will lock your tune.

keeping in mind this is when you were set on going to livernois. and you were convinced they would do a great job. would you really have said no thanks?

personally i think you still would have went with them. because for the most people have good results from good shops. so locking would not have matter to you at the time. why would you need to have it unlocked when the tune would be perfect.

and its not like they will not unlock it. your not bond for ever lol.

how does anybody make that determination ?

All true horror stories.

Its not a good business practice to lock them, but I know shops that do it so you have to go back to them when you want additional work done.

There are better ways to earn business. Just do solid work at a fair price.

i mean thats a worst case scenario. and i guess you would be right.

but still my point is i don't think its that big of a deal. and people seem to agree with me because that shop is still in business. in fact does the most work in the state of MI.

at the end of the day is a car. tune it and call it a day. worry about something else in life. and if something happens have the cash ready to go.
