The truth about Tuning

[whitels1ss]

I found him a tad mixed messages? Firstly he says do your own homework on a workshop, (which I assume would be reading reviews on line, word of mouth etc) then he says you shouldnt bag anyone out who does poor work? Kinda confusing...but then again...everone I have met from Brooklyn is the same..

I reckon if he had said that he was fed up with fixing other workshop's F-Ups that would have been better, but to just entirely blame customers? WTF???
He obviously has some issues dealing with people.
I agree also Sled, his points and conversation ws not all there, perhaps he is on medication to help him handle his stress?

Ill buck the trend a little bit I didn't agree with much that he had to say. Obviously the Internet has helped to educate people over the last few years however I don't agree with his argument over the age thing I'll use peterb v someone say Derrick hocking for argument sake now age would suggest I take it to Derrick but I as sure as hell know Peter has probably forgotten more then Derrick knows. The other argument is the 40 yo v the 25 yo fuel injection and electronic ignition have only been main stream of the last 20 years just because the mechanic is 40 doesn't mean he knows how to set up a modern car. My dad is a prime example of this worked on all types of machinery I Vietnam owned his own mechanical workshop for 20 years and was very successful doing so however he decided to get out of it in the 90s because he didn't have a clue about modern cars and didn't have the desire to learn however he could build an engine with his eyes closed. Just because you charge the most as well doesn't automatically mean you provide the best work

not picking on u or your old man mate but...he might been a good mechanic or engine builder back in the day but the reason he didnt have a clue about it is because he looked at it but didnt think about it. he and alot of other people also didnt have the will power to think and learn. in other words just seen it and thought **** that

I understand the guy's whinge but it is all a part of working in a customer service industry.
Him doing a rant on an internet video is not going to change the world, if he does not like his job he should leave.
If he was half as good as he seems to think he is he would not be posting up videos on the net having a rant
I think he would just be sitting back enjoying all the extra money he makes out of fixing other people's f***ups.
The biggest problem I see is that some workshops promise the world and badly fail to deliver.
It is not the customer's fault because he has chosen a workshop who has ripped him off, hey I know of a few rip off workshops myself
and I have seen some really bad things and I don't understand how some places stay open, but they advertise and get more customers and keep going.
There are rip off operators in plenty of business, that is not the fault of the customer.

By the way h41ry, I just noticed on your profile you are 27 years old.....
So your mentor says you don't know what you are talking about anyway

people put videos, pics and talk on the net everyday...your talking about him winging but u come here and winge about him. whats the difference everyone does it
would u take your holden to a ford dealer ship for mods and expect the same result.....

if people dont understand what i have just said than y winge about this dude at all

[A PSYCHO]

I watched it and thought it was just a big winge! If the workshop promises (or just gives the answers that the customer wants to hear) and doesn't deliver because they have never worked on the car before or whatever, then rightly so the customer has the right to complain and/or eff the shop on the internet, IMHO.

I can understand his frustration but nobody forces him to take on cars that have been modified incorrectly. He can easily tell the customer that he wants nothing to do with it. I am sure he charges premium prices at his workshop and all these "poor quality" workshops are ensuring that he has work for the next decade. Whilst I agree with doing your homework it is pretty poor form (for him) to be blaming the hapless customer. I am sure we have all been stung by workshops somewhere along the line.

"A mechanic is a plumber, electrician, computer technician, blah blah blah". Give me a break! LOL. Mmmm hang on that means I have 4 trades not 1 ??? OK I take that back.

That was my thought too.

Hey I know very well of a local workshop who tells everyone he is the worlds greatest at everything, I don't blame his customers for getting sucked in.

Hey I am having a laugh about the guy on the video's comments about 27 year olds, not having a go at you personally, I think
what he said about 27 year olds was another very stupid thing that he said
He did not offer any solutions to his problem... How does anyone choose a workshop without getting ripped off?

[whitels1ss]

Hey not upset mate
I thought you were?
Hey open discussion is what it is all about

being in the trade myself its quite easy as u can tell when someone it dribbling shit
otherwise there is reputation but not just the rep that u hear about from the people that go there cause its easy and local or a one stop shop in some cases

[h41ry]
