a.lim Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Uh oh. Does that mean my tuning guarantee is about to expire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnicron Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Uh oh. Does that mean my tuning guarantee is about to expire? You had a tuning guarantee? I remember when HB Speed had that on the website but by the time I got tuned by them, they had taken it off. Good reason also, too many people would want their money back. The tune I got from HB Speed was bad. Overboost issues, wrong A/F ratio... Took them 7 months to send me a fix AFTER I had to prove that something was wrong with the tune. I was hitting boost cut very easy although I was told it was "impossible". I put a boost gauge on the car and NOW I could see the issue. Not until I got tuned by Infamous was I happy with the tune. No more overboosting and he used a wideband 02 to actually measure the A/F. I think I could write several pages about HB Speed. Not too upset to see them go but I guess in a way they are still here. I hope Cobb will keep things under control with them otherwise their lead tuner will be on IM while you car is sitting on the dyno...waiting... for hours....

m sprank Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Not to piss on the party, but if you need a tune Long, just ask. Shamar will take care of you. We are partnered up too. I do the wrenching, he does the tuning. Infamous Performance. Good luck to Cobb w/ the old HB. I guess that means we wont be getting a tuner license from them.

At least your issue was resolved, mine was tuned by HB over 2 years ago and I have not since been able to select sport sharp mode on my car because it stalls. Jon Blames Cobb, Cobb Blames the tuner and I am locked out of the tune so cannot even get someone else to fix the problem. Hopefully Cobb being now "Officially" responsible for Jon's work will improve the after sales support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COBB Tuning Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 It appears that some of you are having some issues with previous tunes and we will do everything that we can to see that these issues were resolved. We work very hard to make sure that our customers are happy with the finished product but we understand that mitigating factors sometimes compromise this, be it technical issues or otherwise. I have spoken to Jon and he is more than willing to continue to support previous customers. It seems that in some of out have had some tuning issues or problems with the hardware not working as expected. Chubien, I would like to know where your car sits as of now. What map are you running and are you continuing to have issues with the SI-Drive system? I think we can resolve this but it appears that we will have to make some changes to your map. Omicron, I would like to hear what issues you had specifically with your tune. I realize now that you have used an alternate vendor, but we would like to be able to earn your business in the future. If you ever have any issues please let us know and we will do all that we can to see that these are resolved quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Chubien Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Travis, My problems with my SI-drive persist along with at least one more person that I am aware of (Same problem-Same tuner). For more info on the subject please refer to a post I created on the Cobb forums a couple of years ago: http://www.cobbforums.com/forums/showthread.php?40080-Protune-Throttle-mapping-issues The current map I have has been revised but the problem persists. Would be nice to have a fully functional SI drive and I appreciate your leverage in getting this resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBB Tuning Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Chubien, Can you email us at socal@cobbtuning.com and we will help you get your map up and running. We will need a copy of your current map and then probably some datalogs. We will have more details for you when you email us.

a.lim Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 according to the blog @ http://www.hbspeed.com/blog/?page_id=2 there is a satisfaction guarantee. so... is the guarantee going to transfer over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBB Tuning Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Essentially no since COBB Tuning is not taking over HBSpeed. This is an all new COBB Tuning facility. That said, we will honor all work done with our commitment to customer satisfaction and top-quality customer service. Should you ever have an issue with a COBB Tuning product or service, we will do everything we can to make sure you are satisfied and your car is running the way it should. We are still working out details as it pertains to previous HBSpeed customers, and we will have that information soon. Travis COBB Tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
