Rich Gio hit it on the head, no discussion is allowed in there.

The mods said we could have this, I am sure that they will stay true to there word and not sweep it under the rug because some of the high paying vendors do not like what real world customers have to say about them. Truth is why do the mods care? The site is owned by IB and what benefit do the mods get from the Vendors here... None I know in the past mods with stong ties and biased views have silenced the masses, I hope that we have moved past that and the shops can take what is said in here as advise on how to tailor there mistakes to make them better.

I would write my experience but it is with Performance Factory, but they do not exist anymore so I don't see it being useful.

There doesn't need to be a review on this shop in particular because it doesn't exist. However, there should be a review on the person who owned it (JT). From there everything from the shoddy work done at PF could be included. It goes beyond PF though. I’m sure everyone hasn’t forgot about AAM and then how he scammed the Camaro guys and forced coachk to shut down his shop.

The only reason I ask is because of very poor customer service from a shop I've dealt with before. Customer service goes beyond FI and engine builds. Just a suggestion.

Or move the thread? I'm fine with keeping it F/I and engine builds. Like I said, it was just a suggestion!

LOL, so 20 posts and not 1 shop experience j/k

I just think that the VQ community is too small for most people to intentionally or non intentionally publicly burning bridges. Who knows a year from now you might need something from so and so shop...
