Piggysniffer Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hi guys, sorry to bother you all again can I have recommendations for Subaru mappers please, I'm in Portsmouth area and willing to travel, please don't offer racedynamix as an option I have engine tuner from tidgy so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Only other decent mappers I can think of that would come to a dyno of your choice (mobile mappers) are Andy forest and Bob rawl. Both of them are normally difficult to get hold of due to being so busy . I've never delt with Alan Jeffrey (engine tuner) but he has a good rep and was helpful via email with some questions I had a while back If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I have mailed engine tuner, I am thinking of mailing slowboy racing, I want someone with a premises of their own so I have some element of accountability, am looking at subaru4you as well, engine tuner looks favourite at the mo tho mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Will have a look at Bob rawl, I'm almost at the point of buying all the software etc to start doing it myself tbh as I have a buddy that wants to go half on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnylad Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 for my BMW I used Avon Tuning in Bristol, it was an 8 hour round trip but well worth it. Gareth is the man there and he is amazing! I am not sure what they are like with subarus, but if you ring them, I am sure they will be honest with you about there experiences with them! They have there own premesis with RR and have been around for years, on the BMW forums its either them or ecotune in scotland nothing else will do.

Tidgy Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Depends how willing you are to travel, Andy Forrest, Scoobyclinic and engine tuner are the only 3 i'd ever use. Paul Blamier is the other one but he now works for Ecutek so doesn't do public mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just don't leave your car alone with scoobyclinic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Looks like engine tuner then tidgy, scoobyclinic looks like a boring old drive, andy forest way too far, subaru4you nobody really seems to talk about them, slowboy racing sounds like has own premises but can be hard to get hold of (fuckthat again!) and thanks donnylad but really want someone that's Subaru through and through, Bob rawle seems like hassle trying to get to see him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one they got caught. They have a reputation for a reason. I think it's only fair we share the good and bad off all service providers. Whether it's racedynamix or your beloved clinic.

GeoffLeggy Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Ive used DSA Aylesbury for 10+ years for all my mapping/rolling road needs and Scoobys are his real bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 20 year reputation blotted by one incident, the difference is i've been around long enough to see cowboys come and go, plus crap mappers turn out dozens of !Removed! up cars yet people still think there good recommend them and they end up with a !Removed! up car, just like pigs found out. I don't like people being ripped off and it winds me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Exactly the same as that hence the warning. Wouldn't trust clinic to look after a hamster let alone my pride and joy. They'd probably overcharge for that too. The incident is just the one that got them caught. It's well documented how clinic threaten anyone with court that stands against them.

How would you react if someone was doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 They claimed that poor chap was lying. Threatened him and soon changed thier tune when the footage came out. Going on that I'd say it's not all been lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I went to your boss and said you'd done x/y/z and gave no evidence would you expect to be fired? The last time something like this happened a guy claimed to be on site for 45 mins waiting for them to 'shovel their face' as he put it, the security footage then showed he was on site for 2 mins 45 seconds. Have a read. And after think about how you'd react. http://www.scoobynet.com/dealer-and-third-party-supplier-queries-3/750117-scoobyclinic-dont-need-our-cash.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 There's always 3 sides to a story. Your side, my side and the truth. Just wanted to make piggy aware of any problems before he goes to clinic and ends up in a similar situation to how he has been treated by Duncan.

Piggysniffer Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Jeebus wept !! So where do I go for gods sake lol, in fairness tidgy did warn me about Duncan discretely by pm and I went against his advice because duncan was only up the road so was easy , I hugely regret going to him and I would honestly never ever recommend his service to anyone ever, I am close to selling my car because of this experience, I have also had very dark thoughts about finding him turning him upside down and shaking my money out of him if I'm honest, I will persue a claim with Barclaycard, the trouble will start if I don't have a successful claim, as in my eyes Duncan has in effect ripped me off for £430, anyway glad to se you guys take it down a notch or two 👍 Gonna have a look at the link now 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 It all get s a bit partisan at times hahaha. I think the issue is constructive criticism isn't around any more, if someone isn't happy first thing they do is go on social media and sprout off, over egg it and it doesn't mater what the truth is. If your unhappy with something pick up the phone and speak to them. If, like you found out, they don't respond and sort out problems when your honest with who ever it is, your never gonna get anywhere and time to go public. But you have to be honest with them and give them the full info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Shocked at your treatment piggy. Going on my own first hand experience I wouldn't have thought Duncan would behave in that manor. He did my car and a few others I know of with no major problems. I had a small boost limit issue but two weeks and he fixed no problem. Been fine for the past 18 months.
