The term "nuthugger" is just offensive and a weak argument/insult in any case...

Whoever said this is like high school is right. Too much drama here and not many people can wait to make up their minds until they hear both sides of the story.....sounds to me like someone who was upset they got canned and tried to get back at the old company.
As for the staged thread.....if it was that? Who knows, and who cares.....I know they have been working on the suspension for a while and thats how the word got out. Whether it was staged or not what difference does it make? Honestly?
I have spoken with a bunch of you and meet quite a few people on here, and I dont want to get into a pissing match about any of this. It would be nice if people would listen to the entire story and like someone said too many people from out of state with no experience with VRT other than the forums come on here and bash them. Keep your opinions to yourself until you have dealt with them. Just my .02.......

2 - I cannot believe you would have no problem with deceptive marketing practices that are generally vilified by everyone.
3 - remember: this thread was started by a (supposed) tech from VRT, NOT a customer... < i.e. 'from the horses mouth' if he says he was instructed by the owner to do what he did.... there is no defence on their part.

But when they are not happy they yell it to the world.
Now granted, I'm used to hearing the usual bad crap... so and so charged an arm and a leg, the tune is horrible, the install took way too long...
Out of all of those things that would turn someone away from a particular shop, they don't compare to fraud.
I've heard bad things about VRT even before the whole FallenRomeo issue. Since it was the only thing negative I've heard about them, I didn't really give it a second thought. The FallenRomeo ordeal is what completely pursueded me to turn anybody away from VRT I could.
I'm just glad I would never have to deal with them personally since I don't intend on moving nearby.

liking a shop is not 'nuthugging' but I see an awful lot of what I would call nuthugging. I consider it gross overuse of emocons and praising even standard actions as amazing...

I am genuinely interested if you are standing by VRT' s work, because in doing so you get special treatment or discounts or you truly just want to spread the word about a good shop? (I'm not being sarcastic and I apologize ahead of time if it sounds like it).

its also unfortunate the majority of you are already judge, jury and executioner.. so it really doesn't even matter if Mr. A makes a comment or not.

Will I continue to stick up for VRT when I think there are things being said about them that are wrong? Yes, and I would expect nothing less from you and your shop. This issue will never be resolved with you guys here and that is okay, I will continue to drive my car and enjoy it and so will many other VRT customers.....
