I have been to Steve's shop a few times a few years back and he seemed like a very trustworthy and a very knowledgeable guy, as he was a former Apexi engineer. He was really cool back then and gave me a ride in his drift SC300 on the streets and I allowed him to try to drift my SC300 as well just to mess around. The only work that he ever performed on my was installing my EDFC for my Tein SS coilovers. One thing that was funny is that he always had random hot *** girls visiting him at the shop from myspace or wherever. Not sure why he would need to rape anyone but that sucks to know that his life went down the toilet and that he scams people now.

Here are some pictures of him from his old myspace:

Damn this sucks to hear. Good luck OP, hopefully you get all your money back and then some.

 

Create an account on Yelp, and copy and paste what you wrote for SR Motor.

EDIT: Just did a search on Yelp and it yielded no results: closest thing was South Bay BMW and Scott Robinson Honda. Maybe SR isn't even a legitimate business?

 

yup, the registered shop is called S&R motor sports and its under his landlord. not doing it right now, waiting till i take him to court.

Wow that really sucks man. Gl with the lawsuit and trying to recover some of that time and money.

 

hope everything will turn out better for you.

 

Still negative. I got results in Manhattan and Redondo Beaches, CA. One was some mechanic's shop and the other was a nightclub.

Best of luck in court, I hope you get a free pass for beating the guy to pulp.

Are you freaking kidding me??? he's taking off for vacation?! He owes me money! He was a friend from a long time ago and I asked him if I could leave my hatchback... big mistake! I got a message from him telling me he had to talk to me about something... he hit someone with my car!! I had to pay a grand to get my car out of impound, prove my innocence to the police and my insurance company so I won't be held liable for hitting a pedestrian, and get my window replaced since the poor girl he hit cracked the glass and dented up my hood. I thought he was a friend but boy was I wrong.

 

ummm... he's back from the vacation, long time ago.. hes in jail right now for rape charges. don't know when hes coming out (some say 3, others say 5...)
also, if you r willing to help me out to get SR pm me ur e mail adres or any contact no. Im planning on taking him to civil court. I recently won the small claim court, so im moving on to the next step.
