I am a little pissed right now about a famous rotary performance shop screwing me over with my car. My car has been there for 14 months and I keep hearing lame excuses. The owner stated to me it will take two weeks to fix my car. What is the hold up???? I don't want to put names. But if you are reading this forum, finish fixing my !@#$-ing car.



I can't understand WTF can keep a person to finish a paying customer's vehicle. Lie to him and blatantly blowing me off, "I am busy, two more weeks, I am having problems fixing the previous car, etc."



Shop owner: How can you live with yourself?



My car never sat outside but yet, it is outside getting all the elements.... My freakin $4000 paint job is getting torn up because somebody doesn't give a hoot about fixing my car.





This kind of crap makes me want to give up the rotary thing. I don't think the honda, nissan, or toyota crowd gets screwed over like me.



Guys and gals, what do you think about that?????? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

I think there's too much of this going on.



This kind of crap is just making it more obvious that the rotary community is becoming a diy community only, the exception being like 1 or 2 reputable shops...

Sorry to hear that bro....theres various ways of doing this.....obvious scenario is go and take your back and seek out another shop to finish the work.

Another is to hound the shop....constantly call and keep popping up every now and then. Draw back to this one is you might not get the proper work done that you expect and pay for.

You could also post the name of the shop....maybe some negative feedback might actually do some good....with a potential loss of business (current and future) might wake his ass up and start getting back to what made his shop popular.

Or just sit and wait a little longer to see if it gets completed and hope the work was worth the wait.

Hope everything works out....good luck.

I wish I can just pop up over there, however, I have some friendly eyes passing by and looking.



I want to see if the shop owner sees this message and wake up.



Another lawsuit??? What is the deal on this??????? PM me for details.





I have called numerous times, I am fed up, just like he is probably. But the fact is, my car is still there, wasting away.



I didn't want to do this writeup but I feel this is one of my first steps to do. I have never screwed anybody over, never will. But there are some people who don't give a damn.



I have a lot of respect for this shop, but I think by the way of his conduct he doesn't respect me or probably others.



His manners of conducting business is wrong, unethical and it really hurts people that are trying to enjoy the rotary thing and have put life and soul into RX-7s.



I have put tons of money in my car for it to be sitting far away from me because of his actions.



Parts are paid for, 90% of labor is paid for. Was I the dumb ass that screwed up to pay 90% money up front to a well known reputable shop???????

got receipts, witnesses, and a crap load of people who know who I am, a lot of people who know the car, where it is from, where it is at, etc.

I gots some peeps in VA you want me to send them out with baseball bats...



Seriously though, that is bullshit, especially with a paying customer, I know there are a number of shops out there that don't like to do work unless you are doing an ungodly amount of performace "gravy work".



Meh, wut the hell do i know, let us know how it goes!

1revnrex 03-10-2005 10:03 AM
