Mr B.: I do apologize as this has taken forever to get the trailer title to you. Just remember the first time you transfered this trailer to me it took forever for the title to come also. I will give you a call tomorrow, can you PM me your new number. I will get the title to you and some compensation. How about some free dyno time for the car when you get it going?

The other parts of the story not known is that the transaction did take place a few months ago and yes I did slack off on getting the trailer title replaced, which I admit to 100%. But Bob also remember since im such a bad friend... I sat on the trailer for 2 weeks when you asked me to hold it for you since you couldnt make a payment to me that week, Then who let you take the trailer when you made less than a 50% payment to me and then I waited and waited for the cash. Then you show up to my shop, and hit me with a check for the balance when it was supposedly a cash deal.

98silverbullet: AFR heads we stole? This was discussed that you gave us the heads in exchange. I would rather discuss this matter with you instead of over the internet. You never even brought this to my attention and we spoke a few weeks ago concerning the trans, etc.

Oh and Louis while we are on this issue. Where are my replacement pistons and connecting rods for the "forged" motor that you sold me that contained stock connecting rods and speedpro crap pistons??

Ya well I definitely did slack off and I'd like to compensate or do whatever I can for that, but there is definitely two sides of this story. I am not defending my forgetting to take care of the trailer by saying Bob did these other things, but I would have asked him to give me a call at my shop or on my cell phone before he brought this to the boards. But also in that defense he has PM'd me twice since he made final payment on the trailer of which I told him I would get the title to him.

I have no problem admitting I am in the wrong in this case, and due to sheer forgetfullness Bob did not receive his title in a reasonable amount of time. Bob, do you have an email address I can forward the copy of the purchase of a new trailer certificate to? Also that way you can track the purchase and as soon as it gets in it will be leaving from long island right to your house with a tracking #.

Bob,

I'm sure you know that Matt did not get back to you in a reasonable amount of time simply because he was too busy "Fixing what other shops broke" and racing customer cars for money without the customer knowing about it. Then he had to built a few stroker motored cars that look awesome on the website but can't get out of their own way. Activities like that take up a lot of the day, I for one can't hold it against Matt for taking a long time to get the title for you when he has so much on his plate right now.

[QUOTE=NYls1346;160540]So the truth spills out!!
Oh ya and BTW I think Louis forgot to add, the new Moser 9in. that was in his camaro and that right before he sold it to TTP for 3k he payed them another 1500 to put a new clutch and hydraulics and exhaust on the car.....on top of all the previous money spent with them....Oh ya and what ever happened to the electric cutout that was never returned to Louis, I'm sure it's on a customers car or something.....and I'm sure there is alot more that can be said but maybe we can leave it at this Matt@TTP

Matt[/QUOte

I've learned one thing in life, shops either make it or break it...and right now it's not to hard to tell which direction this one is going in

You want me to bring up my buddy Christian's cam job you did on his 99 vette? You quoted him a certain price on the install plus the install on his headers that he supplied. Then you end up nickle and diming him for $1300 over the price you quoted him, not to mention 6+ weeks fo a cam job because you couldnt get it right. Lets not talk about the 370rwhp you told him it made, but didnt provide a dyno sheet. Then he finally drove down there in person and made you print it out and it was really ~353rwhp for a 99 vette M6 with LT's, no cats, catback, CAI, 224 TTP cam, and a magical tune Yeah, you offered him free dyno time for his inconvenience, but that seems to be the magic cure... throw out free dyno time. Remember, lots of people that are unhappy with a shop wont go back, so free dyno time means nothing.

I told him first-off that I would NOT guarantee the numbers or labor time for the Pacesetter longtubes. The Pacesetters took forever to put on, considering they were a crap fit and the connection pipes had to be welded/cut. Then there was a problem with his fuel pump relay which we fixed for him at a discounted rate. Yes then we had a problem with the o2 sensors which I paid our autotech on wheels (Excellent wiring technician) to come in and fix that I also paid for. We gave him free labor and dyno time numerous times for the car even though it was not our fault of the lack of power. I know that my 224 cam which is like everyone else's Comp ground 224/224 cam usually makes in the range of 380-390rwhp with Kooks LTs, I told Christian that at first and guaranteed no numbers with the pacesetters.

And if you even try to say I don't help my customers, why would I drive hour and a half to get him home at 11pm at night? I guess I don't care about my customers...

If Christian has further problems with my shop or the installation he can contact me direct I am not working through third-parties here when the original customer walked out my door happy. If he is not happy now, please let him PM or call us as to why he is unhappy and we can work to a solution.
