major problems, service engine light keeps coming on, due to some ignorant shop that messed up some sensor, paint is now bloching, work over all is just pure crap, i wouldnt recommend this shop to anyone, i dont wanna say what the shops name is but if u know what im talking about, do NOT GO THERE

worst service i ever gotten, over all just Sh!tty

sorry for the dumb post but its been bothering me and i found out tonight that the paint was jacked.......Eff that shop

 

Sorry to hear that!! But it would help some of us to stay away from that shop if we know what's the name of it? Why not....spread the words around for doing a bad job!!!
pd

 

d_unit: get in touch with your insurance company if the shop didn't repair it to your satisfaction... hopefully they can help you out? i'm sorry to hear it man.

 

This is exactly why you don't go to a tuning shop to get paint/bodywork done.

Every time I have brought my own car in (or assisted a friend) in getting any work performed, I inspect it thoroughly on the spot and do not pay until I feel that the work was performed properly and flawlessly. You are paying for a service, don't let others take advantage of your money... I would certainly alert your insurance company, but I'm sure they won't be too willing to help because the shop you chose was not one of their "preferred shops."

Good luck!

 

Sorry to hear that David, for all those who do not know the shop....it begins with "S" and ends in "Peformance ", and are located off Lafayette, thats all I can say.

Plus the shop does not do the painting itself they send it out.

 

Ya it was the shop they sent it out to , they did the crappy job in the painting, but it was the car being put back together but that shop,in which I keep finding more flaws with, I mean they didn't paint it but they were the ones who "fixed" it supposely, and yet they done such a crappy job over all

And paul, let me see those rims!!!!! =D

 

Ya for sure, I'm taking pic again and having the insurance people take it from there, ya it was my fault for choosing a shop that was just horrible , I learned my lesson

 

Hey David, I am so very sorry for your situation, I really dont know what to say, but it is very respectable of you not too plaster the name of that worthless, deceitful, scheming shop's all over the forum...

And it isnt the City, but the street.

 

Thank you Shane, I meant to type street in but was in a rush.

David pics of the wheels are up in my other thread

 

David,

Damn, sorry to read about your terrible experience. Hopefully, your insurance company can assist and help you resolve this matter. Shoot . . . And I was thinking about going down to see Ted for a UniChip discussion/discovery. I think that I will hold off on that for the time being. In any event, David . . . I really hope things clear up for you very soon.

 

i think each of us have different experiences with every shop.

so since i have had a good experience with Ted and the folks at Scott Performance, i thought i'd share.

he's helped fix several problems that came up with my car in a very timely manner. helped get my exhaust modified to fit my needs and overall did a good job with the install and tuning of my single turbo.

edit: one case in point...my car stopped running one day because of a faulty solenoid. the car was pulled over on the 101 fwy by great america. knowing Ted was right down the street, i called him and he sent his mechanics out to troubleshoot the car. after about 30 minutes and figuring that fuel was not being delivered to the engine, Ted called out a tow company to have the car towed to the shop, at his own expense. what more can you ask for? sure...I wish the solenoid didn't go bad, but **** happens and how a shop responds after they sell you a product really tells you if you are dealing with a reputable shop or not.

i know of others who have had bad experiences and again those who have nothing but good things to say. i think this goes with any shop you go to.

well, just want to make sure the other half of the story is told.

and i hope you've tried getting whatever issues you have fixed directly with the folks at that shop.

best of luck

 

Vinh,

I don't think anyone is questioning Scott's as a tuner shop. They have a good reputation around here. But maybe people should consider a shop known for paint and body work (not engine work) when they need their car painted.

...Cru

 

also, i bet vinh sunk a lot more money into that shop than d_unit's repair job... just a guess tho

 

Well, crapy paint job is only half the story, I will let David tell his side of the story, thats if he so inclines to, but I whole heartly believe David was been taken advantaged.

Vinh, its great that you are/were been well taken care of by Ted, but if you had know what happened to David? you might think differently.

 

Man, that sucks. You are right, Giri. However, I don't give a rat's A$$ how much monies David had spent. A $100.00 scope of work deserves the same detail and care as a $10,000.00 scope of work. The dollar amounts are definitely not within ratio, but I think everyone gets the idea.
