Tuner Etiquette

[polishstorm]

good work mate i am glad to hear your car is running well after all that...

I drop mine off, and pick it up 3-4 days later when i get called

A good tune takes time. It does not happen in 1-2 hours "while you wait" IMO.

Although that does depend on the level of modification to the car to an extent also.

Bingo! Dropped my car off for a major service,install of a few things and tune.Dropped the car off,5 days later it was ready.Very solid tune and worth the wait.When you start spending big dollars on mods i wouldnt rush your tuner.

Most workshops are not very happy about people they do not know just wandering aimlessly around. Too easy to slip some small and very expensive piece of equipment into the pocket. Another reason is safety and legal liability. They could be sued for anything from hearing loss to being hit between the eyes with an escaped con rod. A further reason might be that they just want to get on with the job rather than being constantly distracted by mindless chatter. They are not there for fun, but to run a profitable business.

The best workshops might have a lounge and viewing area, where you can watch your car being tuned through sound proof double glass. They might also provide a coffee machine, newspapers, car, and girly magazines if the wait is a long one.
