This shop has had my blue Mach I mustang since January 27,2019. It was a simple disassembly and reassembly of an Teksid block. Brandon Carothers is the one who accepted this job, when he used to be the manager, but Daryle the owner was not happy, and Brandon left the shop after my car arrived. Daryle pushed the car to the back of the shop where it sat for 5 months with all brand new parts waiting to be installed. He insisted that the workload was too much and that his shop doesn't typically perform the work I asked for. He also claimed business was heavier than usual, although my car had been sitting for months, while he completed other large builds, such as supercharger installs and complete engine builds. My brand new Mac X pipe was lost although I dropped it off with the car in January. My brand new ford clutch kit that they signed for and received, from American Muscle, on 2/27/19, was not installed, although they read my FB message, 2 days before, which advised them of this part being delivered.
As time passed, I questioned Daryle often regarding my job status, and he was typically uninformed and not interested, with regards to a car that's been sitting for 7 months. Long story short, the negligent supervision and quality of work, didn't prove itself, until 11/2/2019, which is when Daryle told me the car was complete and ready. I drove the car 15 miles, from his shop, and overheating began to occur. Daryle, towed the car and claimed the new water pump was not rotating correctly, so they replaced it. I received the car back 7 days later, and it continued to surpass 230 degrees while idling, so I contacted Daryle again. This time he alleged that heater core was leaking and they'd be able to loop it out, so that it won't affect the cooling system. This didn't solve the problem either, so Daryle assigned of his more "skilled" workers, on this job, in April of 2020.
Two weeks after this employee replaced the transmission, and while the car was still in his possession at Y2, the engine developed a serious ROD KNOCK. On a phonecall, this employee stated he felt responsible for the knock, since it occurred while in his possession (Made sense as the car was in and out of shop since 11/2019, but no knock until he works on it 4/2020). Daryle, at this point, decided to be the boss again and took back over this now 22 month old job. After numerous visits, agency complaints and now a pending case with his funding partner Snap Finance, due to non-product delivery, after being paid the invoice amount, Daryle still continues to use several different excuses. I've heard, "We typically don't bid on jobs like this", "We are swamped with work" and more recently, "COVID-19 has taken two of my employees". We have had 6 different "completion dates", ranging from 9/30/2020 to the most recent being this Saturday, 12/4/2020. Daryle Eagle also lied about using Wells Racing, in Midlothian, as a machine shop, when I questioned who would be machining the heads that were just freshly built, by the reputable KPE Racing. On 8/14, Daryle sent a message stating the progress had to halt because the MACHINE SHOP owner closed the shop, due to COVID-19. I spoke with the shopowner, on 9/14/20, and he confirmed that they NEVER CLOSED. Daryle then, lied again and claimed they sent my engine elsewhere (undisclosed this time), although I have the message still, where he stated Wells Racing was their machine shop. I'd advise anyone, with a Ford mustang, to stay AWAY from Y2PERFORMANCE. Go to HP Racing, Gearheads, Precision Mustang or any of the other more competent shops in DFW. I ended up stuck, with Y2PERFORMANCE since they destroyed my engine, and the fact that I'd be upside down, by having another go over someone else's work. One thing for sure is, when I do receive the car back this Saturday it is supposed, to be a full rebuilt engine, and with a new heater core installed. With the way this job has went, I still plan to have the engine inspected, by one of those more reputable shops! Stay tuned for updates! Hopefully they'll be positive! read more
