Default avoid shop in j-ville

ok so i brought my z to velocity trends in j-ville to get a turbonetics bolt on kit installed and tuned. long story short the tuner blew my car up.he said he couldnt tune it bc he didnt know how. he took it on a test drive anyways after i told him not to and the car came back in on a flat bed. my car had 11k miles on it at the time. they took 1 1/2 months to get another motor. this motor had 60k plus miles on it from a g35. they told me it was a 20k motor and tried to hide the vin info from me. well i called up the place where they got the motor from and he gave me the vin. come to find out they lied to me about the motor. i also had a stage 4 clutch installed and they f-ed up the install on that too. finally i got my car back and took it to performace factory in orlando, who i should have gone to in the first place. he reinstalled the turbo correctly and the clutch and now my car is awesome. 405 whp and 385 lbs torque. thank you jeremy! lesson learned take it to a reputable shop the first time and avoid the headache.

dude you got f**ked. I hope you didn't except that motor with 60k miles. I would have demanded a new crate motor from the dealer. I think you would have a very good case if you seeked legal action on them. The dishonesty they displayed by trying to hide the truth behind the motor is worth the lawyer fees. I say F**k them harder than they F**ked you.
