I don't buy it. The dyno chart you shared here has your specific car and mods labeled on it. By the way, it clearly says 2J Racing ;)
Yea is what it is. The shop that was suppose to do this work was in fact "2J Racing" in Cummings Georgia.

Shop owner says the dyno picture he sent was essentially an accident even though it had my name on it. (Implying he took the effort to do that?).
That was no accident if he put your name on it, and you can see where he redacted the Z4 part on the bottom.

I appreciate your hesitation to prevent a false-outrage, but you're doing the right thing sharing that info here.

What's interesting is that the dyno charts from the video look legit for a 2020 Supra base and JB4. Wonder whose those are? ?

lol, abso-fucking-lutely not. He went out of his way to photoshop in your name, car, and mods, and also photoshopped out all references to Z4 in the legend. That was done on purpose to deceive, that was not a mistake. If he really did mean to send that out ahead of a JB4 purchase to let you know what to expect, there would be zero reason to make any of those changes to the image. Fuck that guy, CC chargeback his ass.

Your good man! Did not mean to sound rude at all. Like other users have said before me. You did the right thing to prevent false outrage. However, as a business owner myself I firmly despise scammers and businesses who take advantage of customers. It's part of the reason I started my business. I was tired of dealing with rude owners who took advantage of my ignorance. Was it partly my fault? Yes, I should have researched more. But as a professional and community shouldn't we try to help accept people into this dying hobby instead of leaving them with a bad taste?

So not the owner is doubling down claiming he did the dyno. I cannot directly argue this as a matter of fact. I only have the evidence I posted on here.

the good thing is they are willing to “redo” the runs with me there in person so it appears a refund will not be possible. At least they are willing to complete the work I paid for so I can walk away somewhat satisfied.
Thanks for the help everyone.

I personally wouldn't let them touch my car again, but good luck!

Remember, they're only sorry because they got caught.

Your time and money is better spent having someone like @Jesse DaBears do your custom tuning.

This right here. They are only "sorry" and trying to make it right, because they got caught. They were perfectly fine with calling it a day, UNTIL you called them on their deceit. Fuck these idiots.

do not allow these people to have their way with you. there is no "good thing" here. you paid for a service which they did not complete and are manipulating you to believe they did. you must not be passive about this. they're taking your money and having a laugh about it. do not let them touch your car again and demand your money back. that is right for you

edit: no, seriously. who knows if they can actually tune? you don't want liars touching any parameters. who knows the consequences that can follow. stay with the OTS maps for now
