If you're talking about the place in Dumfries I would not go there if it were the last shop on earth. Let's just say that shop went to shit.. If you want your car ziptied and electrical taped to hold everything, plus a 15"x15" hole in your front fenderwell just to fit intercooler piping (not saying your turbo, just using it as an example), then feel free to take your car there..

And the idiot tried to charge a customer $4000 for an SR swap in a 240, Greddy IC Kit install (literally tried to charge 8 hours for an intercooler install), 2 guages, auto > manual swap, blitz exhaust installation, radiator, and electric fan.. And the 4k is LABOR ONLY, no parts. The harness is so hacked up it's unreal.. Absolutely the shittiest job I've ever seen. I could get a blind monkey to put it together better.. And the best part is the customer made it about 2 miles down the road and the car started shorting out..

I also know for a fact that he doesn't know shit about the dyno.. There's a mustang that just about got launched off the dyno because the idiots don't know how to sit the car.. Look at the dyno in front of the rollers and you'll notice a lot of missing paint..

Anyhow, just my 0.02.

Wow that sucks...I think that settles that idea then. Thanks for the heads up man. I believe the only place I'll give a shot is Curry's then. All these fucking rinkydink, smalltimer, hole in the wall shops are obviously not worth a damn at all. They try to do too much and don't have any experience in it.

Curry's seems to be an actual business, so I would hope they take better care of their customers.

What exactly have you had them do to your vehicle?
