Why?? OK, my experience with AAM, is the following, first time buyed from AAM almost $4000 in parts, they said forgot to send me a pulley, after I claim them they send me the part less. Second time and that is my last time to buyed to AAM, I talked to Mike and explain him very well that only if agree to tune my car I will buyed the parts from his shop and he saids not problem, I will go. Buyed from AAM almost $6000 and I order L-19 head studs and they sent me a normal ARP head studs and after I check with another shop about the head studs I confirm that they sent me is a ordinary ARP head studs and I made the claim and make paid the shipment of the Head studs back to them (Of course they will not send me my head studs before reciving theirs).
After received all the parts, waiting reply from Mike to tune the car, where is Mike??
Nobody knows, everytime call to AAM, they saids is not there, is out, or he is busy and cant take the call. WTF!!! and after one month try to contact him, he write to me "I dont have passport, after I get a passport I will advice you and go to tune your car" 
hahahaha, this is more stupid thing I had hear, and after one week I saw in this forum that post he was in Canada making tuning on some cars. Also car not start, because the flash of the ecu made by AAM and I didnt know why, and try to contact them, and where is MIke?? Nobody Knows and not reply by anywhere. I think they dont need to lie, why they used this F*ck ing way to cheat customer?? After this matter Im very dissapointed about AAM that suposly is one of the best tuners shop for 350Z and them Im contact another good tuner to make my tuning.
All I said here is the true and if anyone in AAM want me to prove it, I have all my emails in my record.

I've always had good experiences with AAM and dealing with Mike. (I have AAM's reflash, plenum spacer, intake, TP's, Y-pipe, and single 3")

Sam here.
I had almost 90% of the mechanical things installed by AAM and everything is still working flawlessly and they finished the turbo install in about 5 days so my experience has been good with them.

I think all in all AAM is one of the better shops to deal with. Frank is second to none and Mike is a good tuner. AAM has really broken alot of ground in the Z world. They were breaking down the ecu codes while others hussled exhaust out of there basement.
I have had my share of issues that is for sure. From popping my stock block because of APS ego to the accident and AAM has came through.
