Talk to Jeremy today on the way home, and it still hasn't been retuned yet. He was supposed to call me back this afternoon, and let me know if it will be ok to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

I have been holding my tongue about this shop since I never brought my car to them but to take more than 3 weeks tuning a car with some minor work ...
.. that confirms a lot of things told to me by people I know and had experience with them.
I don't blame you calling them every day ... for a shop to have your car for 13 months now .. hhhmmm ![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
Mark , I hope you really get that car soon and begin to enjoy it. Did you say they added another -6an feed and -6an return to the existing stock lines or they replaced the stock lines with -6an lines ?

I talk to Jerremy yesterday. He assured me that the problem was the tuner who originally tuned my car doesn't work there any more, he took an engineering job that is a guarantee pay check. I really don't blame him for that. The problem is that Jeremy doesn't want me to pick up the car until the car is right. I gave him another week to complete the car and get it retuned. I trust Zen Motors to take it right and for them to reach my power goal of 500 plus on 18 pounds of boost on 93 octane. The bottom line is that they want it right and everything is flawless when I pick it up. He wants to make sure that I am a happy customer!

If they don't deliver in a week, they should return the car free of whatever is done to it. If u lost ur job and had to pay them, they wouldn't care, thed want their coin. Life sucks. But as a paying customer, who cares what happend to the tuner. A jobs a job. Hence why I hate shops. Back In my younger dayz I was burnt a few times by "shops" hence why I do everything myself nowadays. No layoffs, I work when I want to, and labor is always free!

I too trust them to get it right, granted it's taken 13 months, but I don't want to pay MORE money for someone else to fix something that should be done right the first time.
Granted, they know I'm not too 'thrilled' over the time frame, but they want the same from me too.

I just can't help but wonder

I guess if you notice a lot of people , that includes me, are closely monitoring the results of your tuning . On my end it was because I was looking for a good local tuner who could work on my SC eventually. I guess it will never be them .
Jeremy has told me the same thing.
