It's unbelievable-SAC
This morning i took my ride to SAC for a power test run.After about 5 minutes the guys come back and tell me that they cant help me any more because i only do power test with them without letting them fix my car.They claim it costs them more to do the power test alone.Jaaaa!!!!talk about bad luck on Wednesday.

Re: It's unbelievable-SAC
A cupra must make big numbers on that dyno. Even my 2l 8v made 245 nm on that dyno.. Yeah I meant Kyalami - it's midrand area isn't it
Nelspruit - shame - they are probably not sure how to operate the dyno so they had to give you some excuse. It costs 5 minutes worth of somebodies time + 1 sheet of paper + the electricity to operte the computer(which probably stands on all day anyway) to do a dyno power run. Idiots.

They are fully owned Franchises. The head office don't care what the other 'branches' does as long as they pay their franchise money at the end of the month...

Why spin a story about how they cannot do a run with out first doing work on the car due to the cost of running the dyno?
