After a few emails and calls Dave B*** and I agreed to him doing a turbo project on my CamaroWhat was supposed to take weeks took nearly a year and the car then had serious vibration issues, oil leaks, scratches in the paint, unpainted raw metal on fabricated parts, loose bolts, missing screws, broken parts, a noise starting out in first gear and an exhaust leak
I returned the car to B***'s in January for him to fix what I had not already fixed myself and got the car back May 13, When I refuse to pay any more Dave told me not to bring the car back and driving it home I noticed it was smoking which was caused by leaks from the turbo, the oil supply line and return linesI also found the turbo compressor housing bolts were again hand tightWhen I got it home and started going through the car, I found where they did not bother to vacuum up metal shavings they created before they replaced the battery and they had gotten paint overspray all over the well the battery sits in
Further, Dave agreed to check a salvage differential shipped in for him to install to ensure it was in good shape and in fact a gear ratio prior to installing itHe never checked it and It turned out the gear ratio was only a When he then told me there was no way to check without removing the cover I had to explain to him how to check itHad he done what he promised, I could have returned the unit, but now I'm stuck with itTo add insult to injury he broke both ABS sensors while replacing the diff and tried to blame the ABS error on the tunerI purchased new sensors on my dime, and when he replace them the issues was fixed
I would tell anyone with a custom vehicle to avoid B***'s like the plagueThey might be able to do simple parts swaps, but complex work is way outside their skillsetThey are certainly no speed shop and unless you want to pay dealership rates for Craigslist work, I would find another shop
