Ive been a tech member for a while, I wish we could sticky a list of companies that came and went, screwing people over in the mean time as they vanished. KY turbo and six-speeds inc come to mind as the most impressive, with AES close behind but I am sure there were many more.
Bump....What is AES?

I was wondering because I’ve got my last two engines from AES(Automotive Engine Specialists)out of Illinois and they are fantastic. A couple of race guys I know recommended them.

I can't remember what their AES stood for but pretty sure it's a diff company. Lot of companies have come through here over the years, some well intentioned initially, only to screw people out of thousands of dollars in the end.

Nah it was AES engine builder in Illinois. If I remember right they had long wait time for builds that weren’t local to show up and people weren’t getting what they paid for. I am not 100% sure. But pretty sure it was the engine builders. Seemed the local guys got stuff a lot faster.

I’m out of state and it hasn’t been that bad. I will say the customer service and updates are a little rough there but the quality of the work seems to make up for it. Maybe they were worse back in 2015 but I’ve had little issues with them over the last two years.

Yes we had established that already, the question was if this was the same group that had a not so great reputation in 2015, as over the last 2 years I have had great experiences particularly with their quality of work.

Probably it is. I have not personally used them but I know the owner and some friends are customers.
