It is cheaper to get a new car than the alternative.

You never know...

Ah you reflect on the burnt toast syndrum.

I was treated poorly and I pass on the information.

Just like you should regarding the shop that messed up your Viper, was it Xtreme and now they are trying to make it right with work on your Vette?

I have dealt with some bad shops that didn't know what they are doing in az, was glad to find XMS.

My viper took months to get fixed after some bad shops f'd it up in AZ.

Please be factual, guessing does not count.

That's why I asked who, as a service to the community.

XMS= caveat emptor

I will try to stay focused on the real issues, if you don.donc and ProgGod will stay on the subject and stop with the red herrings..(distractions). I still feel like I'm being deposed and or you guys talk on the phone then respond.



Please be factual.........actually I have not been selling anyones shop as of late.

Please read previous posts, I have been mostly talking about negative experience I have had with an AZ shop as a service to our Vette community.

Again, please be factual with your statements, what is this common knowledge? If you make a statement like this you must be able to support it with facts.

It is interesting how you take parts of a statement but not the whole thing to get the context you want.

so, are you saying you can ask in this matter, until someone, in this case me ask in the same matter as you, then post the facts only card come out?

i agree with you, post the name of the shop, if you are afraid not even bring it up then.

I did post facts about my situtation, clearly numberous times.

i agree with you, post the name of the shop, if you are afraid not even bring it up then.
If you have problems or issues with a person or business it is not proper to complain unless you are willing to back them up with supporting facts.

Other wise buckup cowboy and keep it under your hat.

I won't bash a shop on here, even if they screwed up. They can have one bad deal and these forums make it sound like they screwed everyone. I don't want to go out of my way to ruin someone business, i'd prefer to just help them fix their mistakes.

I will send you two hundred dollars so you shutup about this issue. I appreciate you coming on here and making those comments that you did, because I am a vette owner always looking for work to be done in phoenix area. It's good info to know. However, you could have just made those comments in one or two posts and moved on. You are attacking people personally, and went from sounding intelligent and respectful to the other end of the spectrum.

I have had top notch experiences with my vette at Xtreme, and they have done a TON of engine work, and I have not had one problem at all.

Make your comments and move on!
