Mechanics caught thrashing customer Legacy/Liberty

Postby drndrn » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:54 pm

Did a search, couldn't find anything so hope this isn't a double post.

As the title says, a member of Legacygt.com set up cameras in his car while he left his car with a shop of some sort. The employees decide to have some fun in the car.

That's not thrashing. I've had a Subaru dealership in Brisbane treat my car far, far worse than that.

I shouldn't mention that it was Zupps, should I?

What do you mean coyote? The people at zupps have been nothing but good to me....

No wait i'm sorry, i can't tell a blatant lie like that and expect anyone to believe it. I have only dealt with zupps twice and both times were nothing but trouble.

Best thing about Zupps is that there is a street in front of the Dealership, so one can drive straight by and not stop!!!

A boost gauge with peak recall can tell you a lot.

Particularly when they forget to reconnect the wastegate after going for a 20psi thrash.

I wouldn't call it thrashing, but it's not the way a customers car should be driven. Especially speeding! How funny would it have been if they had gotten booked!?!

I'm not even from QLD & I know Zupps sucks! :P Glad the mother in law didn't buy her Lib from there.
