Re: Bad experience turboing my Baleno at Race Concepts, Bangalore I was reading this thread, but I didn't have the patience to go through the whole thread so my advance apologies if I missed anything critical.
James, I personally feel you are very patient in this case and I feel you have handled your emotions well in this particular case. I was little critical in the previous thread you had about your friends MIVEC, but to be honest I have never even spoken to the guy in question in your MIVEC thread but I was very supportive till I ran into my own problems (with a different tooner). Most people simply take sides, without any specific reasons, they need to understand by saying the right thing they wont offend the tooner, what this might do is save a few who are planning to take their projects to these guys.
The general attitude among tooners in india is to nibble on every possible opportunity. Even if it means that they have no time even to take a dump. Beyond a point People do not understand that they are actually risking whatever little goodwill they have created in the market.
Everyone wants to get rich and the shortest possible option is to simply scale up even if their current model is full of loopholes, they open up branches across the length and breadth of the country to gain more customers. In the whole exercise they feel they are actually doing a favour to the customers by taking their work, well they are not, if people siding the tooner start to understand what this whole issue is due to, the pipelines of prospective customers could dry out within days, worst, people towing their projects out.
The tuning scene is similar across the world, where people cut corners to meet deadlines, but we all know what happens to such shops in the end. I don't know joel at all, but I am not being judgemental here. If he takes a job he must ensure he completes it within the deadline with quality assurance, there are unforeseen circumstances which we all agree plays a huge role, but letting the customer out of the shop, hoping he wouldn't return with a complaint is the single most stupidest thing a tooner can do.
My friend used to run a auto shop in Trivandrum, once a white car with tar spots arrived and his workers attacked the car with scotch brite, I don't have to explain what happened after that, but what my friend did was commendable, he called the customer to the shop, told him what happened, got the best detailers in town and fixed the issue, and he did foot the bill alone though the customer insisted to share the bill.
The end result was a satisfied customer who made many referrals, issues do happen, damage control is what most people lack in our country.
Having said all this, the worst witch doctors will have some patients who will sing praises and the best doctors will have some patients who will have nothing but the worst to say about the doctor.
