My very unpleasant $2,004.00 experience with vTuner Vermont Tuning

[Sonic]

And let's do the math regarding the poll results...

First, let's take away 2 of the yes votes, because we know one was VTuner and one was Ranvette. So that leaves 4 yes votes.

Now let's take away 1 of the "no" votes, because I'm sure the OP voted "no". So that leaves 22 no votes.

Let's pretend everyone had a nice even $2000 to spend. $2000 x 4 yes votes = $8000 in sales. Not really going to call it a successful Half, Quarter, or even Month with that number.

$2000 x 22 no votes = $44,000 in LOST sales. $44,000 is the kind of sales that can move the needle and make or break a small company. But those sales are all gone...all over a $400 turbo that VTuner could have replaced in good faith as a one time gesture to keep a customer and not scare other potential customers off.

I think if I'm a business owner that I'd realize a $400 investment to potentially save $44,000 in sales is a sound investment. Just saying.

VTuner Warranty Controversy

Ok, we are about done here. It's apparent that nothing will be done for the OP by VTuner, regardless of the poll results and the members that have stated they will no longer consider doing business with VTuner as a result of this situation. All this thread is going to be is bickering between the VTuner apologist Ranvette, and the rest of the forum. Any last thoughts before I lock it? I'll give it 15 minutes.

You did the controversy fifteen minutes before closing and since I am late to the table I will exercise my right as a long time member to continue the discussion.

First, I do not like the poll and if VTunersd decides to sue this forum's owner for interfering with ability to do business I will wholeheartedly support the cause of action. The poll bothered me when started and bothers me now.

Second, I am uncomfortable when anyone uses a forum such as this for a personal vendetta. I am not an engineer and although I found the posts to the now locked thread interesting, I admit I did not fully understand the technical posts.

Third, of course GM would repair/replace under warranty such a failure if the car rolled off the line with a flawed part or a flawed installation. My sense of the locked thread is that Garrett would also if the install was by an authorized Garrett installer.

Fourth, and in conclusion, how will we expect third party after market parts manufacturers to develop products for us if we do polls to measure if we like their business?

The point of closing the other thread was for the matter to come to a close. Not for someone else to start another thread and continue it. Now that you had the opportunity to state your opinion, we are done here too.
