Now the issue i have is all the nonsense past hatred that keeps getting brought up by a certain handful of people.
Jeremy we have stated this before I love AAM's staff hands down the friendliest curtious and well respected group of people I have seen, the one person mike should hire is a new owner if he really has good business ethics, hell it looks like even GMand chrysler know when to even call it quits. I just don't see him as a good leader, its like a girlfriend that has cheated on you in the past(I know) she might say sorry and do all these things to promise you hapiness or satisfaction but in it the can you ever really fully trust her. In this case AAM would be the bad girlfriend.

This is my second time around here at AAM. I've been affiliated with this company since the get go. Yes, there have been issues just like every shop encounters. But the hearsay/slander/unfounded rumors floating around about this company are absurd. Someone should have stood up for this company long-ago. Maybe that was the problem, no one fought back against the bs.

I cant even tell you how many times people have threatened me with "you know I'm from forum such an such so if you don't hurry up or do x,......". But we just keep smiling and do what we can to help the Mid-A - thanks or no thanks.

We have the best facility, the best staff, the best materials, equipment etc - all of which we offer to everyone on a fair and consistent basis.

But almost no one, no matter how much you buy from me behind the scenes with crazy hook-ups, no matter how much tech advice or free help we dish out, will drop the Mid-A stigma attached to this company. Practically none of which is first hand. It must be fun to perpetuate rumors about a company very few of you know anything about.

Jeremy and I are here to lead the company - we'll take the actions and make the decisions that need to be made to keep AAM on top, whether the Mid-A likes it or not - period.

You'd have quite a bit of hatred too if you know people getting treated poorly and taken advantage of for 10+ years and get away with it.

regardless of mikes intentions sometime an owner needs to realise that other people may be better at running a company. once a company get too large you need to step back. why do large companies have boards and division of responsabilities. because other people may be more skilled at running companies.

this is not a stab at mike, he built the company to where it was a few months back. not an easy feet but if you want to expand beyond there new talent was needed.

Oh gosh this thread totally turned into a pissing contest. And why...? Because the shops that are in the poll actually decided to start posting and defending.... Whatever happened to let the poll speaks for itself?

These 2 users created their accounts today with zero post counts: (both voted AAM)
https://my350z.com/forum/members/131...d_for_aam.html
https://my350z.com/forum/members/131566-aam_stinks.html

Lets all just create 2nd, 3rd, and 4th accounts JUST for this thread! Like I said before... don't we all have real work to do?

for the record i live in ny and drove 6 hours to aam to get tuned and dont regret it at all, i enjoyed talking to everyone, thought everyone was professional and not to mention the best machinery u can buy and great facility..All in all i dont see how u can go wrong going to aam...if there were things in the past, let it live in the past, some people take things too far and cause ****-ups like this and debates that dont need to happen...every shop has had its flaws along with great times, plan on AAM being full of great things to come

this was all started from a stupid *** trying to stir up drama, well i guess he got it right

I think someone should make a "What Tuner would you take your car to in the Mid-A?" I could care less about a dang shop... I want my car to be run like it was from the factory!

1. Mike
2. Jeremy
3. Dave
4. Frank

etc. etc. etc.

Guys i think everyone knows i do all the work on my car with the exception of the tuning and i would not hesitate to take my car to JT to tune it......i dont give a rats *** if he works for AAM or not.

I currently take it to Dave at FT cause i didnt trust Mike to do a down load tune....which seems to be the norm.Their parts at AAM are first class(with the exception of the stinking fuel rails.....(early edition)and with Clint being there the customer service has seemed to improve.

I will still take my car to FT if i need any other work that i cant do....which is very minimal.
