I too can vouch for Ed, hes a good guy who tries to help people out. I can understand his actions in this and I don't think it was in any way odd or unreasonable. He tried to help someone out the best he could given the circumstances.

+1 for Ed and EQ.

No bashing...just asking questions.
There's no reason to be anything but civil.

Paul, you were asking questions that are inappropriate and unprofessional given the context and topic of this thread. Its very simple and any unbiased reader can clearly see that.

We do our best to treat each customer as well as possible and this customer specifically is happy with how he was treated here. He was given sound advice and we stand by it. If you have any specific questions about his car or any others, feel free to give me a call and I'll be happy to share any details.

asking contextually specific questions is inappropriate?

look, at the end of the day (and even if you did no tuning at all on your drive in the car) you are still entitled to determine compensation in any manner you see fit. even if you changed nothing and just did diagnosic work in the car your time is still worth money as a business owner. as you know you have responsibilities like employees, taxes and other overhead to pay and no one is questioning beyond that.

i think you getting defensive over nothing.

but that's not the point. you are getting defensive, which in a court of law does not matter but in the court of public opinion it makes you look shady. why would you risk tuning a motor that's potentially blown let alone do pulls in it. look at it this way:

1.) car comes in
2.) car is diagnosed as having compression problems
3.) you take it out on the street to tune it (3rd gear pulls i can only assume since you haven't stated it)
4.) ??????
5.) car comes back from tuning session with clutch problems
6.) Profit!

feel free to correct that chain of events if it is incorrect, but based on the posts in this thread that looks accurate. then ask yourself, why people are asking questions?

its seems to me (by no means a mechanic) that taking on responsibility for a car that could have a bad motor is a huge liability, so why do it? usually, only businesses incorporated in Delaware (large banks, biotechs, .com's) take on unnecessary risk because of the special court system and legal protections for Corps and LLC's make it next to impossible for a plaintiff to recover any damages from them.



you dont even have to answer the question "why do it?" i'm just telling you why your defensiveness combined with your not-so-forthcoming manor when it comes to what was actually done during make this look suspicious as ****.

Ed

If by "asking questions that are inappropriate and unprofessional" makes one "unprofessional", might I suggest that you look in the mirror and repeat that statement until it sinks in.

Over the years, you have questioned more than one shop's or tuner's results in various public forums under the guise of educating the customer/owner.

I have dealt with Silas a few times and I feel bad for his car situation.
He's had a string of bad luck with regards to his car.
All of my questions were geared directly to his situation.

If that makes you uncomfortable, maybe its your perception.
