i'm not saying that people havn't got on them before, but personally i look at driving customer cars as liability at its best. i don't drive them if i don't have too. most mechanics are held personally accountable to damages done to customer cars while on a test drive.

with that being said, usually means that if the mechanic breaks it, he buys it. thats what our policy was and i wasn't about to break a car, have to explain to the customer and then finially have to pay for damages out of my own pocket.

f that noise.

there are other times when i have to beat on cars. if you just came in and spent a butt load of money for a turn key car. we know the first thing your going to do is go beat the living shit out of it. if we have to put it through the motions to make sure your going to be satisfied, thats what we have to do.

does that mean were doing burnouts? no, becaue it doesn't pertain to the situation.

maybe a customer wants a flyby to hear the exhaust, wastegate and/or bov.

there are plenty of reason you see us and i assure you that all are legit.

maybe not back in the day, but thats how we opperate now.

any performance builder that claims to not beat on a car is feeding a line of bull. only people that wouldn't are on dyno's, but dyno's are probably the worst thing you can do to a car in the first place.

All together it should be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars owed. I have not had one person at all, current employee, ex employee, or customer state otherwise. Stay the hell out of a thread in which you have nothing to do in with stupid comments like that. The process repeats itself over and over again, I am just trying to do what I can to put a stop into it.

DC completed my sr swap over 2 years ago and although it initially took longer than expected, any issue I’ve had with or since has been resolved effectively in a timely manner.

Probably not the theme of this thread but there are some people out here that appreciate the service that was provided.

FYI..400hp stock block enthalpy tuned daily driven sr.

P.S. Mike is awesome and anybody who knew a car was being abused and didn’t speak up is a Douche/Bitch

sorry for the pause, please continue...

and kirk, despite what you say, you have almost single handedly turned this into the kirk hates ian thread.
