I find all of this very entertaining. In the past 6 years I have gone to 6 different i-club vendor/tuner shops and nearly all of them commented in a negative way about the way my car was worked on by the previous vendor. I've also seen this online in various forums. It's part of the industry... Egos+the pursuit of the all mighty dollar = mud slinging.

Q: why does paul@dbtuned always talk **** about eq tuning?
A: his tunes are **** so he has to hate on another shop.
If anyone here has an issue with EQ, take that issue up with EQ because I bet they will try to fix the issue. Paul, if you haven't been charged a 3% fee from EQ then you need to stay out of it for the sake of being a professional and having class. You act like trash on the internet. TRASH! Why don't you lead by example? Wait, you can't because you are a ****ing hack.
You should focus on improving your quality before taking sucker punches at other shops in the community.

Perhaps you'd be best advised to S T F U until you DO have the experience, firsthand, to comment.
Am I a Paul@DBTuned fanboi? No. I haven't ever been in the Sacramento area needing vehicle service. As far as Bay Area shops go, I've used three shops from i-club - and only one gets my business after the other two failed at repairing/diagnosing my vehicles.

I'm not sure if you're being paid in discounts or flat-out cash for being such a fanboi of EQ Tuning, but you certainly aren't in touch with reality. Paul doesn't mention EQ Tuning in his reply to knock, and the "Fun Fact" is only stating a common accounting practice that is used by most, if not all, businesses when they're doing their books. I don't see any "subtle attack" on EQ Tuning. After reading your MULTIPLE attacks against Paul, I'd think it was something personal you have against him - you certainly must not have been at the last BAM meet where he donated a built engine to the charity raffle - in addition to your not having any business experience with him.

Anyways, I'm done posting in this thread. I said what I had to say. I don't think any vendor/shop should be talking **** about its competetion openly. That's all.

Wow wtf happened here?? Seems like all hearsay and mud slinging, so I won't bother adding to the drama train.
Back on topic, we always check and adjust tire pressures on every car that goes on the rack. We also check over all major fluids and top off if necessary. I thought this was pretty common practice for any decent shops. FWIW, we also keep detailed records of all customer's invoices and do not offer any discounts for "cash deals".
Thanks
