Rear End rebuild shop in Orlando
Can anyone recommend a shop? Same place rebuilt it once and its acting up already, told me to bring it in yesterday so they could start on it and told me today they can't get to it today either because they had other cars come in. Whats the point of making a schedule and letting other cars go ahead of me?!!! Because I've already paid?
I'm supposed to move to FSU in a month and I can't be wondering about this anymore. Sorry for the semi rant but I need to get it somewhere where the work will get D-O-N-E something I can't seem to get from where its at now.

Take a real hard look at what you're paying, vs a more
durable piece that just needs you to bolt it up on the
driveway. If they haven't started work, you could get
your money back. Of course you might want to show
up and feel the cold motor, not call ahead so they can
move it into the bay and keep your money.

It's a factory rebuild because I bought an extended warranty for the car. I swear its like they are moving in new paying customers and putting me off. They have also rebuilt it once 3 weeks ago, and it is acting up already.

Well now that sounds like workmanship problems to me.
But does not sound like a shop with a positive attitude,
so maybe you're out of luck. Times two.
What kind of suck warranty is it, where you have to
front them money?

Ken's Performance, they are located near Oranga Ave and Michigan Ave. I can get you their number if you need it. Mike Norris referred them, had them do my gear swap, great guys, great work.

Ken's is also a little pricey. Next Level could do it for cheaper and you'd know you're getting good work. I have a friend that does mine, wish he was more available to more people.

You got it. As it stands now if it is not done tomorrow like I was told, my attorney will be calling them. I am supposed to be in Tallahassee Friday to sign my lease and get registered at FSU.

That is the problem I'm having. The rebuilt rear was leaking and the shop said it was my fault and the gear was burned up. There is no way because nobody has driven my car but me and I have not abused it at all. So I spoke with the owner and told him what was going on and that when I took it in for the check up that one of his guys said the seal was leaking and that it was the installers flaw not mine if I had really been driving it like I said. I'm getting it fixed for free but I will NOT be bringing it back there.

Good to hear they are fixing it, definitely an install issue if it starts leaking with no wear and tear after minimal mileage, thats good they are fixing the problem, lets hope they can fix it right this time so no more issues.
