There was a bit of troubleshooting and lot going back forth with the tuner as well as our in house tuner trying to figure out the issue, which ultimately was improper installation of the charge cooler and a lack of coolant. We aren't charging just for 4-5 pulls an hour but we're charging for the time we pull our technician/tuner off other jobs and the knowledge he can provide on the dyno if issues arise with the car |

Important thing to consider this, time is time & money, employees need to be productive otherwise business are loosing money, no different to equipment, if you're using something, someone else cannot.

In my opinion, I think it is fair for the owner to charge dyno time when remote tuning with an outside tuner. The dyno is being used and an employee is being utilized to set the car up on the dyno, run, and monitor it. As for the rest of the situation, the time the car spent at the shop does seem excessive. I am sure some kind of agreement will be reached, the situation is unfortunate for sure.

50% is a bit excessive. 20% is fair IMO.
TBH, anything that takes longer than 1 week I will request to have my car back. I think this is the second story in a few months (other guy with Sonic MS) where a shop takes months to fix their car.

I don't agree with the way things seem to be going with AT but 50% of the bill does seem like an unreasonable ask.
Even BMW doesn't do this why would you expect an independent shop to? My parents 7-series was in the shop for months and all they could do was upgrade their enterprise rental to a 3-series loaner. Is the car apart? Sounds like only the crank hub is the pending issue, why not do the bolt-ons and bring the car when the shop is ready to do that?
