Worst shop to fix your car, worst shop and best shop Options

[marksgsx]

What is your worst shop that you took your car to fix? mine is http://www.extrememotorsports.com/
they took one year to complete my engine and i have to correct their mistakes. three engines almost one year each time.work was done sloppy,parts missing wiring in the wrong place,engine oil leaks,slower than stock.they have no ASE certified mitisubishi mechcanics.didn't tighten down the flywheel and it destroyed the clutch and flywheel.spent over $10,000.00 and got no where. if i had the money i would sue these people and take them to court. If you wish to have work on your vehicle done correctly and excellent people to deal with and very knowledgeable,then i would suggest that you go to www.jacksonautomachine.com for the best shop.

A lot of decent points have been raised in this thread. I have the benefit of sitting on both sides of the fence...

I agree to a certain extent about the garuntee on work.. but it depends on what the work is, and what the driver does.

a lot of people want to pay the least, buy a used stock motor, but want it to be garunteed to run 24 pounds of boost down the strip.

Simple put, they don't want to pay 5 grand for a stage three built motor, that is garunteed to take what ever you can throw at it at the track, and instead, they want to pay 8 hundred for a motor... and then have it replaced when they crank the boost above what it should be.

also, about waivers... it is sad that in this time and age, companies have to have wiavers to protect themselves. but, the truth is, is that with out waivers, a lot of good work, and honest business would lose out from the guy who is willing to drive his car and not check his oil. the guy who is willing to beat the snot out of his car at the track, but doesn't know the first thing about maintanance.

when dealing with modified cars it gets real scary real quick. a bad fuel pump, clogged injectors, or debri in the lines causing a lean / knock condition... blowing a motor.

to sum it up, i have sat on your side, and i agree with some of your concerns. I also sit on the other side, though. and when I put all cards on the table it comes down the vibe i read from the person and situation.
