ABS **** is about to hit the trash can or else i'd let my dealership i work at take care of it.
this isnt a problem where i was with a flashlight trying to look for **** (we had a lady like that at the other dealership i was at doing that) this was a gauge cluster light where your going to notice it right away. when one of my techs would do a ASM inspection they would drive the car around to take care of those little things (customer service over brush off service)

guess being lied to straight in the face without having a problem bugs me, specially when it being a first time customer.... usually at the dealership we try to take extra care of first timers

Know ****, I know that all too well. It really is funny if you think about it and I get a kick out of it every time.

sucks that you had a bad experience Reject. RPM has been around over 4 years so they must be doing something right.

I would also like to note that they have the most 5 second customer cars out of any LSx shop in DFW. that says alot.

You guys are halarious. You can definitely see who is friends with who. Sometimes its so hard to see whos **** stinks more. Because some of you cant let go of the friend title when most of you dont realize these guys run a business and dont give a **** about you.

So they tuned your car and gave you a smile, do you all hang and race together? Most of you probably dont. I have dealt with sponsors now for a good while and I can tell you
that a huge margin care about your dollar and give a **** about your car. Everyone has a bad experience at some point but sometimes that doesnt tell the level of the experience at that related shop. But I would be pissed to if I payed 400 bucks for a tune and most of my pcm was still stock.

Also, if the shop is charging you full price, you seriously think thats friendship?? Some of you need a serious reality check and make sure your not roadies for another Fast and furious movie.

These are businesses not friendship hangouts, so long as you have money any shop owners going to smile at you.

I was being sarcastic because of what TINKRD said, but thanks for writing a short story of your opinion LOL Either shop is more than capable of doing the work with no problem.

My statement was general and no so much aimed at any one person. Didnt mean it to come off harsh just some people need to wake up. They are paying for friendship. I think thats kinda like prostitution?

My bad slowredz.

The ones who need to wake up If you find yourself hovering over a shop and the shop is not hovering over you then maybe you need to re-think your stance with that
business.

The Government mAANNNN its all a conspiracy to bring about the corporations.

i'm just curious how you can tell which people in this thread fall under your category?

some people have given their negative experience w/ a shop, some have given their positive experiences w/ a shop and or shops. so how is it you're able to make a blanketed comment when you do or dont know who your comment applies to?

????? haha wow...

I said to who it applies to. Thats like the saying To Whom it may concern. It seems though that at least one person see's and understands what I typed.

dont read into stuff to much before I type something about that too. And get some thicker toilet paper for that sore ***.

What did the five fingers say to the face?
