You said right... Deplorable ignorance and wretched incomptence only matched by complete overconfidence and absolute inability and unwillingness to accept any responsability for their screw-ups.
My faith on some local "tuners" in the Atlanta area is utterly and completely lost. I'd strongly suggest to anybody who is contemplating trusting their car to any tuner in the state of Georgia to first contact me for details about my $7K botched up EVO 8

The word here is caveat emptor

I'd have to say the Japanese have the upper hand in part quality.

Take a chevy truck to Japan or a Holden Manaro (new GTO) to the states or bring a Puegoet here and see what people can do. We live in an insulur society and the majority of us like big v8 power. The import tuners here are good, but few and far between, the tuners in Japan are many and around the corner. You can build a mustang to womp some asnizt here, but the to Asia or Europe and the experience doesn't exist. We chose to have cars that do not conform to the usual "American" setup of:

A: Big
B: Fuel inefficient
C: Cheap and easy to make faster.

This is why part are so f(*&&ing expensive for out little Jap cars and also why it is so satisfying to whoop a v-8's as$.

I expect that either 2005 or 2006 will be the last year that we see many sports cars from Japan and a new rise in American iron.
