I had my suspension upgraded and steering box replaced by Frame-up. When I picked up my vehicle, Donny mentioned there is a grinding/whine noise with my power steering reservoir and he suggested to replace it due to in his opinion "poor" design. CVF Racing (Manufacturer) sells thousands of these power steering system which was included in my serpentine system. I was informed the whining/grinding noise is not something to be concerned about other than the noise. Within a month and mind you I drove the car short distance to local car shows, my power steering reservoir started leaking and air bubbles forming forcing fluid through the pressure hole. I contacted CVF for advise, and was informed the system was not bled correctly. I had the car towed to Frame-up which I was under the impression Donny Friese would honor his warranty for the recent steering box replacement and the last to work with my power steering. I did not have ANY issues with my power steering before Frame-up's upgrade. Without any estimate /quote, explanation or contact for the repair from Frame-up, I was shocked to be billed an additional $850 to bleed and replace a power steering reservoir. This place is a total ripoff! Get a detailed written quote before engaging with this outfit. The initial quote/estimate I was provided went up by $1000 without notice or explanation which I let slide. Now I am contemplating on getting legal advise on this matter. Buyers beware!
