If the other tuner, which the customer feel more comfortable with it, want to make some modification they can, with out starting over again.

Which i tought made sense, because in the end, we are the one paying for the tune. The tuner is delivering a product and from there i should be able to make my change when i want to!
This is really going to depend on who you talk to. I know quite a few tuners who will NOT, under any circumstances, modify another tuners tune.

If you pay a tuner to tune your car they will 9-times-out-of-10 start all over. This is to make sure they are starting fresh and not building on a tune that could have some hidden issues.

Now, if you have an unlocked tune, and you want to modify something yourself or have another tuner do something very minor, like scale a maf, they may do it.

But keep in mind: If you bring it to Tuner Z, and they try to add a few things to your tune by Tuner X, and the revision doesn't work well will what tuner X has already done- The new tuner is now responsible for any issues that pop up. Which is why most tuners will want to start over.

Every tuner has his or her way of doing things, there is no one way to tune a car. It's like an artist painting a picture haha.
