Seemd, given the number of horror stories I have come across, it might be nice to have a post that new owners could look at when trying to decide on whom to use for modifications. I mean, not all of us can tune or build a motor, thats just fact. Before I got into a bunch of detail, I was curious what the other members of the forum thought about something like this. Perhaps it already exists and I did not find it on the site.

What does everyone think? WOuld it be bad form to call out specific vendors? Kepp it real plain? Do the members even think its worth while? I mean, it would have been pretty nice if when making my choice for a shop, that this forum had a wall of sham(e) for shops and people that are known to leave users left holding the bag.

What does everyone think?

IMO...I think that if you were going to post a section that it should be those who ARE reputable, honest, and really good at their chosen expertise. Make a list of the known go to shops/individuals that have this positive trend and it should take care of itself...

I feel that most newer owners don't really understand what is involved in tuning or modding their vehicle, they kinda learn as they go, so any supporting info would help them in this process.

We all have opinions, it is easy to complain about issues, not so easy when you are reading someone else interpretation of what they believe the issue is...ACCURATE info is the real winner!

It should probably have both good and bad listed. But, at this point, nothing I have done on here trying to deal with POettys Garbage Garage has really helped. I have to go focus on court and the DOJ complaint follow. This site does need a true list though. It would be nice to know that if you hear Eric Hruza's name, f*cking run away. That f*ing bastard has caused so much f*ing trouble. You have no idea.

In my opinion the car is better off being completed in house versus ordering an engine, supercharger, pulleys, tune or whatever else and doing it remotely. I know its possible for shops to get it right but its a pain most of the time and you end up spending more time and money trying to get it right than you would with the work being done in house. I have had it done both ways on two separate vehicles and the six hour drive was worth it to get the job done correctly. The package deal I bought for a Roush Mustang was a headache for me and the car was never as good as it was stock. I would most likely still have that car if I had made the drive and had the shop do the job and dyno the car there. I sold it after months of issues

The package I used was supposedly the go to package which made all of 500rwhp. LOL

^^ I 100% agree, if possible always have work done completely at one place and time. Too many variables when piecing and tuning remote, not saying it can't or shouldn't be done, just that I agree with the in house approach for most.
