Called these clowns to get a cam swap price 5 days ago. Messaged them on Facebook and these idiots STILL can't get back to me with a price.

Only reason I am calling Aikman is because Henderson Performance ins't doing Motor Work.

Henderson has worked on my 620 WHP GTO / 330 WHP Cobalt SS and my Vette.

If these guys can't return a phone call I don't trust them to touch my car. I didn't trust them years ago when I lived in Steiner Ranch I drove all the way to Henderson and after them not returning calls I really don't trust them.

Will be looking at going outside of Austin for this next Cam Swap on my Vette.

Super Disappointing.

Speaking of clowns, way to go bumping a 4 year old thread. I’ll make sure to let them know not to reply to you, since you really don’t want to use them anyway. Sound like they unknowingly did the right thing in not replying to your inquiry. Trust me, losing your business won’t hurt them.

I mean it's always good to know when a business does some shady ****. Not like he bumped a thread just 'because'. He likely called them, then searched for them in a search engine and this thread popped up. People hardly notice the dates and if i've noticed anything about this site it's that most people, mods included, dont really GAF

Not returning a phone call is considered shady? That's a new one.

User never said how many times he called, but I would be wiling to say it was more than once.. I highly doubt he dug up a several year old thread and took the time to post after someone didn't return his call by EOB on a Tuesday.

Still doesn't make it shady. If we are speculating, the user seems like he is kicking and screaming because he didn't get the attention he wanted.

IMHO, poor customer service is poor customer service. They might be great mechanics, but their communication skills seem to be lacking based on the report above. If that is the case, it will likely cost them some business. It does make one wonder what other stuff they don't do well.
