Default What if the dealer tune shops can provide tuned warranty..?

I was thinking what if u can have some sort of warranty deal with the shop u modified ur car at.Some pplz aren't comfortable modifying there cars because , of the chance they can lose all or certain parts of there warranties.Fixing car yourslef is cool and all but sometimes u want to make sure things are done right if your not a pro mechanic?Car companies like Toyota and Nissan with TRD and Nismo are taking to long to catch up u should have to spend 28k on a A-Spec RSX when u don't even get more torque or horsepower its stupid.

Myslef on the other I rather go both ways ,I'll pay someone fix it then i learn how to maintain it and fix it by taking classes, reading ,watching vids ,how-to's or just plain old observing.

I think there should be somehting between the two Aftermarket shops or Car companies the way the can make tuned parts with warranty in the form of some sort package to attract buyers ,with the resurance that they can get the parts fixed or replaced. Car companies can make more upgrades so the money stays in there car company other wise aftermarket is out there ,but fuck bein stock!

Well TRD and Nismo are doing a good job in my opinion and GM is doing that with a little company called SLP and that you can get added onto the original cost fo the car so as to make it part of your monthly payments and I know of a Dealer in California that highly modifies Fords and they offer warranties on their cars and so do companies like Roush and Saleen and those are pretty much considered Modified cars. i don't think they should warranty a part on a car that wasn't built for it like cars that are Turbo-charged and the bottom end isn't made for it. That really isn't that good of an idea if that's what you had in mind but you have to accept that fact if you want to do something that wasn't approved by the manufacturer then you must be ready for your Honduh to blow up if it happens and you can't blame the car company since their car wasn't built for it and if your Honda's trunk fills with water or the decklid starts to rust just because you thought that big ass spoiler was cool but was done improperly too damn bad. Your lucky the car companies have what they do. Most big customizing companies offer their own warranties if you buy their kits or packages and atleast they know what they are doing some local rice shops i wouldn't trust at all. Go to SLP, Roush, Saleen, GM Performance, Mopar, Dinan, Brabus, NISMO, TRD, AMG, ///M etc... and they offer warranties and are all tuning shops
