I must have missed that post, but in other words, he admitted there that
voiding the guy's warranty had absolutely nothing to do with any
modifications which may have been present, and everything to do with a
personality conflict. Which we may or may not be getting the whole
story of, there being two sides to every argument.
In business, you will occasionally encounter a customer who cannot be
pleased; this sometimes happened (rarely) in my family's tire dealership
and is inevitable. When this occurs, the correct response is to simply
refuse service, and suggest that the customer might be happier taking
his business elsewhere. What is not the right thing to do, is what "mic
canic" did and ---- the guy such that he will be screwed no matter where
he goes. If the individual in fact threatened him, voiding his warranty
only serves to escalate the situation and is a mean spirited, immature
action. As you said, some people get even and now the customer is a
whole lot more likely to make good on his threats that he supposedly
made.

Suit yourself. He'll never touch anything of mine.
