Default Take back or send ECU to tuner to redo!

If you took car to tuner, maybe shame on them.

I have told friends who sell chips that the only way I would do it is to go over every car beforehand and list and fix every problem. I have seen so many people chasing their tails after doing work when the problems were there before. Everyone blaames the last work done.
