They most likely wont. "Tuner" shops are more often these days one or all of the following:
1) Bolt on masters (zero real mechanic knowledge... this is VERY prevalent). They learn how to bolt up turbo kits and have them tuned and all the kiddies think they are the Gods of all that is autosport... when in reality they are nothing but a bunch of kids who couldnt do anything BUT follow instructions and bolt up kits.
2) The worst businessmen on earth.. regardless of their automotive knowledge
3) Scamsters that will walk away from a sinking business and start up a new one with no conscious at all.
And many times they are all of the above. This can happen with any business, but the tuner world seems to be the worst when it comes to car cultures. There are very, very few aftermarket companies out there in this culture that I would ever trust at all. I think most of us on here know the few that have been trustworthy. Sucks though that all the others make the good ones have to fight for customers trust.

It's a shame for real with the economy in tatters we will see other companies go under unfortunately. Well this show's you why companies like AMS,BUSHUR,STM,DEZOD,GREDDY,HKS and others have been around so long experience, enthusiasm,quality (workmanship with exceptions to a few mistakes), these are all things needed to have success in automotive industry.
