I also followed your thread. I met you at a car show just after it happened.

I know how you feel vendors on these forums, moderators need to hear the customer rather than deleting threads and giving warning's, just because they are vendors.. I'm in Dallas and just like I said in the past one shop down here I won't spend another dime in, all because of there so called customer service ethics... Took my 15k elsewhere.... See its how you treat people respect not oooh I'm a vendor I can basically screw u because I can its getting like that now on. To many complaints that I have read on these forums..

i think Lg makes a LgG6x 4 cam that requires fly cutting. might be worth it to some people. other wise the Lgx3 is biggest i see.

Ya, I was pretty pissed back then, even little annoyed now as it seems to pop up every once in a while reminding me how I got f***ed on the deal... I just hope people read these threads before selecting a shop with soo many issues, from blown motors, not handing it properly, poor customer service like not returning emails/phone calls, and having to come out of pocket to get it all fixed.

Ehh be careful... I got an infraction for complaining about the exact things your talking about. But its as if the vendors are untouchable even if they screw over a customer... theres no reprucussion against the shop, and you cant even come in here to vent or warn others to do their due diligince before selecting a shop.
That said, most vendors really are great on here and will go way above and beyond to make sure the customer (aka forum member) is satisfied... but obviously there is a rare few that dont.

Ohh I agree brother... what they got me for was....
"Moderator or Site bashing"
Maybe something has changed since then, but I got that for making comments about not being able to post about the vendor... its all in the past, no big deal.

That said, I had the same info on ls1tech.com forums and there were lots of LS gurus and other shops that all agreed on this shop being at fault and detailed tech info about why, in addition to general handling of the situation... This was up there for quite a while, until the shop (also a supporting vendor on that site) had it deleted. All I can say about that is sketchy!
