My Ride:
Hyundai Tiburon GT 2006

My Experience at Fuzion Auto [Havertown, PA]

Website is: http://www.fuzionauto.com/

I came in a little over a month ago. I have a Hyundai Tiburon GT 2006. I have a Borla catback exhaust and had an Injen SRI at the time. I failed emissions because of running too lean (P0171). I did not have my stock intake available.

I went to him for him to fix it. He knew what I wanted, to pass emissions. He tried a bunch of things that afterwards I found out were basically pointless. Replaced the o2 sensors. Apparently turned down the wattage on my stereo, which I hear is impossible. Had a guy come in to give me a $350 tune, that I would only have to pay for if it fixed my car. Well, since he ended up coming back numerous times as it did nothing, apparently the money was unable to be given back at this point.

He had my car for 2 weeks. Wasted many hours of my life; for example, telling me everything is ready and for me to go back over to Tires Plus to get my stickers. Came to his shop in Havertown, gave him $651, went to Tires Plus, and failed. Brought it back to him, and he ended up buying an AEM CAI with another $250 I gave him. Didn't fix it. I got $200 back, though he again stated I would only pay if it fixed my problem.

Lastly, he told me he fixed the check engine light and it didn't come up any more. Great, I thought. It ended up after I brought it to Conicelli, my dealership, the tab was detached from the back of the bulb so it couldn't light up regardless (I didn't realize that when I started the car, it didn't come up, but the dealership did). So, lost $800 to him. He is the only person that works there, name is Rich.

Moral of the story: Paid $800 for him to unattach the lightbulb tab which I paid for to get fixed at the dealership; they bought the stock intake, and passed my emissions.

Rich, if you'd like this posting taken down, I'd like 50% of the money I gave you back. You worked on my car for the 2 weeks I had it and I know time is money, but that time was meant to fix a problem my car had, and that wasn't accomplished. As you stated, "I can only charge you a diagnostic fee if I can't fix it", offering $400 is more than compensation for that.

Feel free to post or send me a message if you have any questions or comments.
