Speaking of such: Nothing is this post should be construed as legal advice. I am not a lawyer nor do I portray one on TV. Read all contracts before signing. If there is something you don't understand, don't sign until you do.

Anything can be challenged and anyone can be sued now a days...especially if u can prove negligence or malice on the shop's side. Crazy thing is the shop is advertising that they have a tuner...A lot of people are under the impression he is a legit certified tuner, but I personally know the guy and know he didn't go thru any type of tuning school at all.....He learned to tune using his own car with Hondata....I know for the most part tuning software is generally the same, but I doubt this is how tuners are picked up/hired stateside? That just opens up all kinds of liabilities IMHO

If they aren't actually saying he is certified or has special training (and if there is no law/regulation existing that you have to do so to be called a tuner), then he's a tuner. But ... "you can delegate authority but not responsibility". If you are contracting/paying them for the service, they are responsible for any screwups.

Edit: Once again, I'm not a lawyer and have no idea what the laws concerning this may be where you are living (I just noticed that you are from a place I had to Google to figure out where it was.
