Pull the chip or set the tuning back to oem.........otherwise it will show a trouble code (with the chip) or they will see the programing changes and guess what......you're stuck with the bill if the dealer so chooses!

Never had a problem yet getting work done. I usually take the chip out or return the original program from the tuner. But a times I take it in and leave everything so that the codes they need will show up. In these times I always tell them up front it has been tuned or chipped. This way they will know when some strange codes come up and can overlook them.
