I regret ignoring my intuition, if the shop looks like $h!t from the outside its for a reason folks!
This shop could honestly give a crap about its quality, frankly, I'm surprised they are still in business.
My experience as follows. (Bare with me, it's a lengthy review)
Reason for going:
Installed header and new used oem cat-back, needed flange welded to muffler so i can finish proper install.
Experience:
Less then friendly customer service which ive come to find is pretty common with shops.
After wasting my time explaining to this imbecile owner how the prior owner installed incorrectly and telling him what i wanted/goal. He responds rather short and says he needs to look at it first. I make an appointment and drop the car off and he says he'll call me after looking at it.
I get no such call, ever.
I finally call and he says come pick it up. I go to shop, met by a lady at the front (Rude asf), guy is no where to be found. I go outside and look at the work. I noticed my side skirt popped off the clicks, i look at the job...w
Would you believe this moron cut my new pipe and welded the damn muffler on....the exact thing i said not to do.
Im fuming at this point because if i wanted the damn oem pipe compromised I would of saved the $200 and cut and sleeved the damn thing myself!
There's more...
I get in the car and notice that my door card is scuffed and my steering wheel is greasy. Mind you i know my car is not in immaculate condition but have some respect.
I start the car and it sounds like crap! I can hear an exhaust leak, I put my hand around the weld and feel the exhaust leak.
Conclusion:
Dont ever take your car to this guy unless you are a fan of being ripped off! Sh*t quality, matching customer service. After going through all the hell to find the parts and install them myself to have this guy do this to me, I hate the guy.
