Ice Performance Melbourne

[TracidTrax]

ive had my car in there and i think they are good, for the person who said they had bad experiences what were these?

[R31Nismoid]

R31Nismoid, I know as far as posts are concerned I'm a newbie and to you and your network of friends here I may be out of line in saying this but here goes.

I think your previous comment is not warranted. I may be misinterpreting the demeanor of your comment but to someone like me I find it pretty rude (even though its not directed to me).

It wasnt directed at you, if it was i;d have posted as such

Everytime a thread about any workshop thread comes up there are the usual suspects that immeditately get in on it and say "my mates mate"

Its happened before and as you are new to the forum you've missed the point of the post.

Enough is enough. Whether it be ICE, Chasers, the old BMT, protek, amberly, whoever.

The "my mates mate" card gets a bit boring after a while, same as the usual people "i wouldnt take my car there"

I mean, really, people should get over it. As i said, every workshop has its horror story... and depending on what side of the fence there will always be a different version of that story.

It also doesnt detract from the point that you are not allowed to bag workshops on these forums.

Its a forum rule, plain and simple.

cheers.

I think people should just post comments ONLY if its first hand through them.

I cant comment on ICE's work, but i called them once to install & tune a microtech and the chap on the fone was very enthusiastic and willing to answer any questions and gimme advice where possible. Unlike some workshops who dont even want to be on the fone with ya.

Its not much but its 1st hand!!

All the best!

Yea, fair enough.

I'm actually not new to the forum I joined in 2003. It’s just that I have only accrued 235 posts nothing compared to your 6,556. But that doesn’t mean that I seldom visit this forum, I am on here everyday. I only post if I have something worth saying (R31Nismoid I am not by any means saying your posts have been useless).

R31Nismoid, I don't think I have missed the point of the post. MerlinTheHapyPig just posted his opinion and I believe that renegadeMR2 asked for people’s opinion.

Yes, but what happens if work shop XXXX has not yet cleaned up its act? But a valid point made just the same R31Nismoid.

Just a question to clear up some ambiguity regarding the forum rules. If for example I had a problem with work shop XXXX and I posted my negative experience will I be in breach of forum rules?

Maybe I was out of line by making my previous post as it was none of my business. So I'll just edit it, shut my mouth and carry on reading posts instead of making them.

I have dealt with ICE and have had no problems.

I have heard all the stories i.e. theyre not mechanics and blah blah but if they do a good job who cares??

Better that taking it to a guy who has all the right certificates and fu$ks your car isnt it??

It's all about what YOU get out of it at the end of the day.

[R31Nismoid]

Yea, fair enough.

You've definately missing some of the more interesting threads then, and who have posted in them, most of the time they end up in the mod setcion anyhow within as many hours.

I generally remember who posts what where i can, you have too.

Yes, it would be a breach. As all past threads been treated the same. Thats labelled as business slandering, if you dont name a workshop, different.

Unfortunately here on SAU we cant allow you to sit here and say "Bob jones's pizza shop is a pile of sh|t, thier toppings are 5 days old and full of salmonella"

You just cant do it.

Whilst this is an forum, it does not keep the owner of the forum free from liabilty arising from posts made on here. In the interests of no-hassle im sure you see where this comes from.

There is always 2 sides to every story. Last thing SAU wants is to be in the middle of a sh|t fight

There is a such topic in FI at the moment which is very much sitting on the border of this to give you an idea of what is on the limit.

If you wish to discuss further please send me a PM

there is basically no point in these threads then...as only "they're great" replies can be posted

[R31Nismoid]

pretty much. Although if you want... you can say,

I havent heard anything about "xxx", but i take my car to "xxx" and they are great.

For the record,Bob Jones Pizza shop rocks and only uses the best ingredients.

for every bad expierence you have youll tell 20 people it was crap

for every good experience you have youll tell 2 people it was great

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

very true.

this thread is starting to make an interesting point though, if we are not able to discuss bad experiences where does it leave us?

especially people new to the world of tuning (which we all were at some stage) who have no idea. they are generally encouraged to search out info on here, and if all they can find is positive comments about everyone, and no problems that have been encountered, what are they going to think?

i think that a lot of dissatisfaction arises due to bad communication between customer and tuner, and would be the first to say that ALL problems should be sorted out between the 2 parties rather than bitching on a forum, but surely there has to be some level of discussion...?

for the record, i have had some work done at ice and was very pleased with the results.

[Al]

Tooooo many of these "i luv XXXXX" or "XXXXX is the best". Delete this thread and pm the thread starter to do a search or point them in the right direction.

My opinion, i will only take my car to 2 w/shops: The one i have been using for the past 5yrs, "EAS Performance" and "Racepace" which i have never used but have only heard and seen top work come out of.

Imagine one day when some retard comes on the forums and post something up and then sau gets sued for something... and thats the end of the forums ??

I think thats why were not sposed to say bad stuff.....

we dont get the forums sued, and they continue to provide us with access to them...

it sounds pretty fair if you ask me

[dezz]

yeah it is...but these threads are pointless
