I have not once said it was OK to do, to ignore it, or not to deal with it. It is the extremes that people are saying are appropriate that I have objected to. The reactions are like it is the worst offence committed by mankind. It isn't and if this is the worst thing people have ever had happen to them I want to live their lives!

That's not extreme. That's standard. Would I talk to the shop first, yes, but that conversation wouldn't have any effect on the fact that a negative review should be left regardless. What happened did happen and nothing the owner says will change history. That conversation would only change some of the content of the negative review (ie documenting the owner's response). I didn't see anyone posting with a suggestion that everyone in this thread should write bad reviews, or call the shop and yell, or any other extreme and just as inappropriate behavior.

I would go by and speak to the owner in person and show the video. What I did from there would be based upon their reaction. It could range from nothing to a scathing review. I would not start out with the scathing review and work backwards as so many want to do and I sure as hell would not be looking for free work or compensation for a job not related to the incident.
My reactions are based on the fact that there is virtually zero chance of any damage being done by two revs on a car that had been running for 10+ minutes. My statements of extreme were based upon the over reaction to the mechanical nature of the complaint not the whole philosophical "respect" debate.

So Tcoat, if you already knew it was the owner who disrespected you, what would you say to him when you confronted him about it? What would you hope to accomplish? What could he say at that point that would change your intention with regard to a review? Quote:

Personally I'd want to talk to the shop owner to let them know my feelings on it. I wouldn't ask for (nor accept) anything from them.

Any update OP? Curious to know what route you went. I think Wes hit the nail right on the head. Show them the video and just go from there. Asking for a refund is stupid as hell. You paid for a job to be done, it was done and that's that. The revving is a separate issue. No it didn't do any damage. 10 minutes is plenty for some revs. People start their cars and drive off without letting it warmup at all every single day. That will do damage over time, but not immediately. Shoot people who post exhaust clips on YouTube redline it a minute after the initial cold start. If you were an athlete and did a couple sprints without a proper warmup, would your legs fall off? No. Anyways, sounds like it's a constant issue if you heard them revving other cars in the background. Are there any review or comments about that? What makes it worse is that it's the owner. He won't fire himself lol but if you feel like it really bothers you, speak up and let him know. Don't go in all hostile. Gather yourself and handle it calmly. It shouldn't be a pride thing or whatever, but it is a matter of respecting others people's property.

Car is fine.
Shop owner probably illustrated a lack of respect for other people’s property. If it were me I would have called him directly and asked him to explain his need to do this. If he didn't have a good reason I ask for an apology and let him know he lost any future business from me and then get on my life. Your time is more valuable than anything there is to be gained here. But... Car is fine.

Back on topic. OP, like humfrz, rice_classic & other have stated. Life is too damn short to worry about shit like that. Get an apology from the shop and never go back there. Give em shitty review and move on. |

And it has been probably done by thousands if not millions of people in the auto aftermarket industry on any car they think is cool. |

Are we still kicking this around? I know my views are not those of the "popular kids" but geezus H CHRISTopher, come on now. It's about respecting the customer's vehicle.
Yes, modern engines are very well designed and all come with rev limiters set well below the theoretical max r.p.m.s BUT... excrement doth occur! Just ask anyone who's FA20 had to be rebuilt due to the "valve issue." As to whether the OP's car suffered any damage may I quote Philip Seymour Hoffman's character from the movie "Charlie Wilson's War" and just say "We'll see!" |
