excellent it's only been like 24 years!
I would like to take a moment to respond to this. I realize this was from Aug but I don't like false information regarding our business on the internet.
We tried very hard to help this customer out with this build. When he originally brought the car to us it was mix and match turbo kit from ebay and lots of random companies. We started to put it together for him but nothing fit right and it was going to take a lot of hours to get right. With our shop rate it just didn't make sense for us to do it. We explained that to the customer and he paid for the work that we did do but the car was far from together.
A long time later he comes back to us to remove the motor. Apparently my understanding was the tune had blown up the motor. We removed the motor as per his request. We let him keep the Mazda in our locked tent without charging storage fees for a few months while he got the motor rebuilt. Finally we told him the Mazda needs to leave as we needed the space and to bring it back to us when the motor was done.
When the motor arrived and the car came on a tow truck. We reassembled the car to the point where he could take it to his tuner to get it started only. Then to tow the car back to us so we could confirm the car is safe for the road. We never checked out the safety of this car. All we did was put the motor in. We explicitly told him to not drive the car before we finish our Pre Delivery Inspection. That includes a safety inspection of the driveability of the car and confirming the car is ready for the customer to enjoy. We didn't get the chance to do that as he decided to take it for a drive after he got it running.
We are sorry that it cost him a transmission but it was stated on his work order that we did not drive the car nor did we do a PDI. He was told in person by our tech to not drive the car and he confirmed that he would only get it started and tow it right back.
He filed a dispute for the charges but was unsuccessful because we showed the credit card company sufficient proof that the customer was aware to not drive the vehicle and bring it back to us to make it road worthy.
