WOW!! Since mine is heading to a shop tomorrow I know I will be keeping an eye on the progress.

That deal in Az will end up in court either for assault, arson, or slander. It is all screwed up.

There is a lesson here kids....always check for references.

I think being as prestegious a forum as this that we could pitch in and tell all forums we know about this I think we owe it to ourselves and this guy to help out.

I was a victim of an engine shop many years ago. Had to go to small claims court to recover just a fraction of my loss.

One possible way to help others is www.complaints.com, they have complaints listed on just about anything.

yeah, i read that crap too and even called AMP and told them that i thought they were doing bad business, of course he hung up on me. i used to own my own business (detail shop) as well and that is just horrible to treat someone like that, there is absolutely no excuse for that. in the time i had my shop i had one compaint and we made it right. these guys have apparently screwed over more than one person and they don't deserve the right to own a business.

Damn I had to stop at page 20. I couldn't take much more of it because I was getting too frustrated. That is a really unfortunate situation. I hope everything works out for him though.

I have a feeling the case is going to go nowhere fast.

Who can really stay calm when they are getting ripped off?

Guess we'll see once all of the evidence is presented.

I haven't seen any of the evidence againts either party so I will not draw any conclusion at the current time.

I would be interested to hear about other peoples' experiences with that company. It is either a really bad situation or has been blow out of proportion.



The part that gets me is that a used parts house was installing a crate engine. That just doesn't sound right. Maybe they put a rebuilt or salvage yard engine in the car? Then again, what happened to the original engine? If a fuel or timing issue killed the original engine, that could be the cause of the second failure.

Too many questions and not enough answers!

I just did a search for their website and then sent them an e-mail hoping that they lose all of their business for screwing that guy. We should all do this. We could easily generate how many thousand from this forum?
