I am a long time reader and am very observant, and I only started postin up on here a couple weeks ago.
I am sure you had great experiences, who did you deal with there? Have you had to deal with them lately?? I don't see any VRT in your signature like it used to be

 

wut're you gonna do? Just enjoy! Sorry about the money loss though :-]. Atleast u know better now..

 

Did you sign a contract and agree to those prices?

If you did, then that's that. But if you didn't then I think you've got a basis to file a complaint...

Either way, a VRT rep should really explain why you paid so much for that work, contract or no contract... - did they install a turbo and didn't tell you

 

No I did not get a turbo. I dealt with MR A directly. No I did not sign a contract for that work. I signed an older contract when we originally agreed to do some work, but that work was never done because we went a different path. I love the work that was done, but everyone is saying I paid way too much and I would really love to see an itemized expense breakdown showing how much I paid for everything.

 

butt hurt much?

ask for this with the itemized receipt. Its the least Mike can do

 

KY is teh ****.

 

Wow - this is the 2nd major issue I've seen recently with VRT... either someone is out to get them (and doing a good job of slander) or they really aren't all that great these days.

 

Hahaha, very observant indeed. From day one I have mainly dealt with Scott (WA2GOOD) and had Mark as my mechanic. Scott was my initial contact with VRT and has since become a good friend. Now, I have also dealt with Mr. A directly and have never had any problems. Scott and Mark have since broadened their horizons with a new company for reasons of their own and both still remain in good standing with Mr. A and VRT. Naturally, I will follow my mechanic (Mark) and my buddy and initial contact (Scott). I have no hard feelings for Mr. A and/or VRT at all. Don't read too much into it fellas.

 

WTF 6k for all that. You gotta be kidding. I am thinking of getting turbo from VRT. I guess it will cost me 30k for turbo. I better get away from VRT from now on.

 

Seems as if you paid about $2-2.5k too much, especially if you already owned the Headers and CAI. I would go back and ask for an itemized receipt like others have suggested. Not that hard to do...

Zquicksilver

 

So what shop do Scott and Mark work from? (contact info?)... I'm sure it's out here somewhere, but since it's part of this thread I thought I'd ask.

 

I am pretty sure that 6k included some parts.... coilovers, sways.... right OP?

I think people aren't reading this correctly. he only had some of the parts.

but still 6k..... ouchie wawa.

 

Scott started his own shop "RELENTLESS AUTOSPORTS" and Mark went with him.

 

I have had a great experience dealing with Scott in the past - highly recommend him and wish him well with his new company.

 

Thats expensive!

 

expensive isnt the word. Yea i would ask for a reciet you can ask for that for any work you get done. I would do do because , yea man unless where missing something , You got done worse rodney king man. I love vrts work but i had no idea there labor cost where that of a dealership of exotics. lol

 

yeah, just to clarify to people, I had the headers and the intake before hand. I bought the exhaust, coilovers, and sway bars from them. So the almost 6K was for purchase of the exhaust, coilovers, and sway bars, and for installation of everything mentioned. To be fair so everyone knows, the exact amount was $5,550. Not 6K exactly, but close to.

 

what exhaust? please dont tell me stillen.

 

A VRT rep has yet 2 chime in on this subject, so maybe people should stop assuming things before they hear it from the horses mouth.....the experience i had w/ mike and VRT was awesome, and the amount i paid for everything that i had done was very very reasonable, so dont jump to conclusions on this subject untill someone from VRT speaks!

 

Makes a lot more sense now.

If I'm not mistaken, VRT likes using JIC coilovers, so that's $2K right there. Then exhaust and sways ~$1500. So that's ~$2K for installing everything. And headers aren't the easiest things to install on this car.
