Crikey, how hard can it be to get a tune! Was supposed to drop the car off 3 weeks but with all the public holidays it hasn’t happened so it was agreed I’d drop the car off last Friday but as it’s a long drive for me and the tuner doesn’t have any kind of booking system (wtf!) it was agreed I’d call on Wednesday to make sure he didn’t have others jobs, except his phone has been engaged since last Wednesday and no response to email or FB messenger.
So the wait continues..... #sadface

All tuners are like that. It is pretty normal.

Don't chill too much, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't be pushy, but don't let him forget about you or you'll loose your spot in the queue.

We finally spoke this morning, poor chap’s been flat out hence the engaged phone and isn’t good with tech so no voicemail etc. Anyway, I’m dropping the car off Friday for sure!

Your tuner
isn’t good with tech so no voicemail etc.


He wouldn't be my choice for tuner. Tuning an ECU is what I call 'tech'.

YM obviously does V.

Tuner is just lazy or intentionally does not want to take messages. Could be a bad sign when you desperately need him.

Apparently the tuner just did an identical 2.5 with the same cams etc. Does anyone know if that owner is on the forum? Would be good to catch up.
