hey all, i have a warning about a shop i got work done at and wanted to spread the word so no one else goes there. its called redline preformance he mainly does diesels but also does cars.
i have a tsi talon i brought it in there for head studs, new lifters, and a metal head gasket !
i dropped off the car and it sat there for 2 and a half months before he got it done i had to keep calling in and hasseing him to get it done but he ways always out gettig drunk instead of being at his shop working on the cars and trucks he had in there. in the end i had to go to his shop push my car in there and help him do it and he still charged me full price.
he told me he felt bad and it wouldnt happen again.
about 6 months later my stock turbo went and took out a rod bearing so, i called him up and asked if he was busy and he said no and felt bad for the last time so he would give me a deal and get it done right away.
i went and bought a rvr evo bottom end. i dropped off the car and motor, and the car sat there for roughly 6 months and i would call him once a week to see if he needed anything part wise and he would tell me oh sorry i havent been working on your car im to busy.....
about 6 months of bugging him i finally went down and he was sitting at his shop drunk not working on anything. so i went in had a chat with him and once again i had to push my car in and help them pull the motor and replace it.
the car total sat there for 7 months. before it got done. and i had to do half the work. and still got charged full price.
i picked up the car and drove it for about 2-3000 kms brought it back in for a check up because it was making a noise i found out the rear balance shaft bearing broke. so i bought the blance shaft eliminator kit and he installed it, BUT ! he took out the rear balance shaft and kepy in the front and hooked up the front balance shaft. witch unblances the motor.
i drove it to my house and it started ticking like crazy and died down my street. the guy came with a tow truck and brought it to his shop. i called him a month after he towed it to his shop he told me that he didnt have time to look at it and it needs a motor rebuild and he said he will do it.
the car sat there from dec 10 2009 till july 2010 and he didnt even look at the car.....
after him telling me it needs a whole motor rebuild i finally went there and got the keys and took it home.
i found out its just a lifter that went and is a $10 fix.
please dont waiste your time with this shop all you will have is problems.
