Options if warranty denied

[Rubyred17]

i have been seeing a few posts where dealer are denying engine warranty claims because of tuned.

Has anyone gotten stuck with footing the repair bill yourself and, if so, is there a better quality source for the engine?

For a tune, you would likely be on your own. You could ask them to prove it was something the tune caused to fail by exerting more power or force than the part was built to handle. But at that point you'll probably need to lawyer up.

For aftermarket parts you have some protection

It depends on what broke.

Also, people who have been tuned generally seem to idiotically make it known by being asshats and usually slipping up with their dealer saying "well.... I'm tuned, I better not get my warranty denied!" or mentioning it in caution and discretion as if they have something to hide. That + being a dick about it usually = Go fvck yourself. And I don't blame the dealership one bit.

Read my reply to you.

Good luck.

It doesn't necessarily void your warranty but good luck proving it. Running around for months just to get no where. Is it worth it?
