A specific dealer offering to sell a tune from another third party in no way implies that PCNA is endorsing or approving of it. Dealers are independently owned franchise stores that are allowed to sell various third party products as they choose within the terms of their licensing agreement. This is like when a dealer sells whatever aftermarket paint protection product. That is not something that is specifically endorsed or approved by PCNA.

It’s like when you make an insurance claim on your house, and the insurance company does everything they can to deny it.

In Canada, a BMW dealership installed a bunch of Dinan parts for customers and in writing provided warranty where depending on the issue they would either deal with BMW or Dinan.

What I meant was, if it ends up becoming an engine issue due to a tune, I would think the dealership who offered it would he incline to work with the tuning company to find a resolution. If it's an issue not related to the tune, dealership would be inclined to request warranty approval from PCNA. But you are right, if I'm getting a tune from a dealership, I would get it all in writing.

This is not the first time a dealer offered a tune, guys.
A few years back another forumer (from Ohio, I believe?) posted about how his dealer installed an APR tune. That has nothing to do with warranty, though, as others have said

yeah, our dealer installs GMIAC tunes and soul exchausts for years...and they will "help" as much as they can if anything happens down the line but don't put that on paper as they can't. Its on a best effort basis - no warranties implied.

We have a number of Porsche and McLaren dealerships in our dealer network that sell our products and have been doing so for a number of years. It's up to the end-user to understand their vehicle's warranty status and assume all risks. At the end of the day, you are modifying your vehicle. Some dealers are more "mod friendly" than others. M-Tuner is easily reversible back to stock (5 minutes) for when you go into service.

I feel like buying a tune from a dealer is like buying condoms from your church. I just don't like one knowing about the other.

The finger waggers are certainly out in full force today.
I've owned more performance vehicles than I can remember at this point and tuned/modified every one of them to some degree and never had a single problem.
There are many of us who do these things and actually do "get it" but thanks for all the warnings and doomsday scenarios.

PS: I had many tuned cars, most worked fine as long as I had them, some did not to various degrees. One got blacklisted by mfg and another was just in the shop for troubleshooting. So, yeah, I also "get it".

Chill my friend. I dont see excessive finger wagging here. Just folks with different level of risk tolerance,some dont care, some have enough cash to never worry about others have to save for a car etc etc.. It's simple, You make it a bigger deal on your own. Maybe you are a little eager to point out that you tune all your cars and dont haved to worry about it. Good for you.

Sounds like it is you who should "chill" and doubt if anyone needs the tuning lecture which is guranteed to be broadcast by someone in these threads.
Certainly does not sound as if tuning/modding has gone well for you.

LOL.
Sounds like it is you who should "chill" as you have found a way to respond with a personal slur and doubt if anyone needs the tuning lecture which is guranteed to be broadcast by someone in these threads.
Certainly does not sound as if tuning/modding has gone well for you. No need to be bitter.
