Been a while since I've looked at these forums but I'll tell you something. This is not an uncommon occurance when dealing with all those rinky dink shops out there. They will gouge the **** out of you for shit, make excuses, and try to blame you for their own ignorance and inexperience.
The ones to really look out for are dyno tuning shops. I've been ripped off by two of them. The first one charged me $600 for tuning and modifying an intake bonnet. $200 of that came from "dyno tuning" when it was supposed to only be $80 and $400 in labor. That was B&T Motorsports in Virginia. The next was even worse, Maryland Performance. This asshole there trying to dyno tune my vehicle charged me $2200, for a larger y-pipe and hours worth of "hard work" and "tuning". Guess what? He only spent 3 days on my truck, 1 day he spent 40 minutes, another 9 minutes, and another only 13 minutes. And he didn't even tune it! I had to ******* tow my vehicle out of there because it was in such bad shape, and he wouldn't even pay for the towing. I ended up tuning the vehicle myself and its running better than ever.
All I gotta say is, be careful, and get shit in writing. If they are supposedly charging you a certain amount of money, get it in writing, sign it, and get a copy of it. Keep copies of all information, calls and anything else you do when dealing these hole in the wall bullshit shops. They love to prey on young adults, and they'll do it without hesitating.
