Default Redshift Racing stole $2000+ of parts from my friend

My friend who will go nameless had Redshift in DC agree to do an rb25 swap in his 240sx hatch. He purchased the motor and over $4000 worth of parts including STANCE coilovers, fluids, exhaust, clutch, timing belt, etc.. All parts were purchased by redshift and the bill was charged to my friend of which he paid using a cashier's check.

This was 3 months ago. They dicked him around for nearly 3 months saying they didnt have time for him, and a week ago They call him and tell him to get his shit, theyre going out of business...

Ok, so he finds a neighboring shop VIP Garage in NOVA to do the swap, VIP goes to redshift to pick up his parts and motor and finds that his STANCE coilovers, gauges, fluids, etc... atleast $2000 of parts are missing.

My friend is still waiting to hear from Redshift, especially ROBBIE from redshift (i think thats his name) and is being patient.

To those of you at redshift and especially the owner: You need to issue a fucking refund and or purchase the missing items of which my friend paid for and didn't receive. This is not his problem, this is yours.

You guys are totally fucked up and you don't treat customers that way. Imho I think you expected to get away with this shit.

My name is Michael.

Ok ovbiously this issue was not resolve and very well could be when getting in contact with the owner which ovbiously has not happened yet, why are you crying on a forum already? im not nor have i ever seen/or spoken to anyone from there or even know where it is, but in genral this is fucking dumb. why dont you give everyone a chance to work it out first then after the fuck yous are exchanged let this information go.


on the other hand that does suck shit if he doesnt get all the money back and whatnot. I hope VIP garage can come through. i know they are local to me somewhere.
