What do you think the profit margin is for European companies doing T7 and T8 tuning?
Does anyone here feel like they've been charged too much?
If I wanted to tune a BMW, a Corvette, a Mercedes, an STi, or a Mustang it would be around $300-$600. Why does it cost $1100 to tune my Saab?
Saab T7 and T8 cars use a CAN bus. There is nothing unique about that. Post combustion 80V ionic analysis is the only difference, and that's not even unique now that BMW is using the same principle for knock detection.
Seems like back-room price fixing to me. The US is Saab's biggest market.
Has no one else noticed? Is everyone content to put-up with sub-par service, long waiting, huge shipping charges, and crazy prices? Seems like a bunch of non-sense to me...
