Has a local business license.
Is registered with the BAR.
And, if in the business of reselling parts, has a valid Seller's Permit.

If a person is not in posession of all the above mentioned documents/permits/licenses, and are performing work on vehicles for money, they are commiting a crime in California.

Hence, they are not profesionals.

By being ambiguous you're not helping out the community at all but rather trying to stir up more business for yourself.

You're correct, I loves me a good tussel from time to time.
However, I have patience.

I agree with all of the above except the BAR. A person performing software calibration of the engine management computer for off road use only does not have to register with the BAR. Any business performing mechanical repairs on vehicles for money must be registered. As far as the rest of your qualifications, I don't believe Cobb would sell to and support a Protuner who did not have the necessary documents. So who is this rogue "unprofessional" tuner?

Then why post that graph? You're obviously trying to warn people, so stop beating around the bush and be up front and clear about your warnings and accusations.

Thanks

I'm also truly sorry your thread has come to this and I apologize for contributing to it. I try my hardest to stick to relevant information but I still get sucked into pointless bickering on occasion.

Odd. If you're tuning for offroad use, why are you doing the tuning on road ?

The BAR will not agree with you, Ed.
By default, if the car has a plate on it, the vehicle may not be considered an "Off Road Use Only" vehicle as far as whether or not you have to be registered with the BAR..

End of story.

I have not made any accusations towards any tuner. Posting up graphs of poor performaning cars is a far cry from saying, "He sucks!!"
At this popint, me naming names does nothing.
