Am I being ripped off?

[Baz]

If you notice in my initial thread, I made no mention of any particular person or occupation ripping me off. I merely asked the question as it appeared to me that this was another 'Cobra' thing. If you own a Cobra, be prepared to pay for the privalege. I hadn't mentioned the names of any Company. I just wanted to find out the feelings of the Forum members as a general issue because it just didn't seem right to me, especially when someone charges one thing and someone else charges nearly double. There was a discrepancy there and I have found out why that has occurred, but more importantly, what's going to happen in the future. The $360 was for the transmission tune and I still have the engine tune to go. I have no problems with the work carried out by Justin and Jimmy from Sideshow Performance Tuning, but I would have appreciated being bought up to date then and there, rather than to have it come out in a public forum like this.

Doubledip has bought up many issues which I was not aware of until I read his thread. Maybe if we work on communicating these issues to those who are directly involved, problems like this won't occur again.

The mechanic I used was selected because of his reputation in this field. Everything was ordered through him as he was the expert. I had my total trust in him. Conversations that occurred between him and the Performance Tuners were not relayed to me. This is what I was referring to in the previous paragraph.
