Man, tough crowd.

I don't understand why the guitar was buzzing when you brought it home. The tech shouldn't have had it leave the shop with buzzing regardless of how it was tuned. Am I missing something?

agreed man .. If I spent 200 for a tune up on my car, it should run great when I get it back. Doesn't matter if I can rebuild the tranny, rotate the tires, and change the oil myself or not. Besides, like I said previously, I'm happy with the end result.. just annoying is all.

Knowing how to adjust for a tuning change on a guitar is fundamental to ownership and more analogous to adding air to your tires, not rebuilding the transmission.
You haven't accepted that dropping a half step when you got home made your newly set-up PRS lay the strings onto the fretboard and play like a sitar.
Instead of saying it was annoying, it would have been better to do a bit of this and regain some credibility.
Your 'tuning shop' deserve points for diplomacy in not pointing out what happened and not embarrassing you.

Just that he dropped the tuning when he got it home causing the neck to flatten which then caused his buzz. Any good tech will ask how the user wants it tuned. Tuning,neck adjustment, intonation, and action go hand in hand. You can't do one without the others unless it was set up that way to begin with. Then you can just turn your tuning pegs.
