Then why did you tell us you ordered new heads and you were putting them on?

I have posted nothing but the truth....your story changes everytime you post. Derek even called you about 5 times this week to talk about things and you wont even answer the phone. How can things be worked out if you only post up lies and wont talk to him?

 

For anyone that doesn't know, Pro-filer is a very big dog when it comes to racing heads. Do a little research on heads up racing and you'll see they are on some very fast cars. As far as their LS1 heads, I can only say I first saw them at PRI in Dec 2005 so they aren't a new product by any means.

 

did he drive the car away or flatbed it out. As a buss. they are responsible for what comes out of their shop in the court- even if they are trying to help someone out.

I would of just told him to come get his car, or go with some different heads.

It's just one of those life lessons that was learned the hard way for both parties.

 

I would like to know more about them myself... Gonna search this for sure.

 

i wont talk about the other problem anymore like i said before....but i had to say this the profiler heads are awesome my car feel very very strong now and the only problem i have now is tuning related. I am maxing out my maf and i think its running a little lean now i checked the plugs and im not stepping on it again till its tuned....the good news that on my car the maf is not suppose to max out until 480 ish rwhp. so that means these profiler heads are making some serious power i was only at 417 rwhp before the heads.... so now im happy....hey trent i just want to oppligize to you for calling your car a piece of **** i just got pissed off for the moment my problem is with the shop and dereck not you. You where always cool with me but i'll see you in person soon and tell you face to face the way i like doing things...cool

 

Moved again to appropriate forum.

 

What you are doing is bashing our shop (the shop I work at) for trying to HELP YOU out, which is not cool whether you tell me in person or over the internet. Also I am not cool with someone who snatches keys out of my hand and takes off, only to comeback after the police are called. We should have parted ways when that occured, but again you apologized and we gave you the benefit of the doubt(biggest mistake). I still would like to know how WE screwed you over, you were in a rush, and did want to wait. You asked us if we knew a mechanic we advised you, plain and simple. It was ultimatly YOUR decision, not ours. You paid your amount due with us and chose the other mechanic. We did not PERFORM the work, we only let you use our facility to SAVE YOU MONEY. If you would have let US finish the job correctly you would not be in this "supposed" mess.

Also now you are claiming you have the pro-filer heads. Make up your mind, first you told us you had Patriots Heads(1 week ago), now you are running Pro-Filers. Everything you post is contradicting. At this point it just seems like you are trying pull a fast one to get money back on YOUR mistakes. You were ok and all grateful for us to allow you to let another mechanic use our shop, but when things supposedly went sour you try to pin it on us. If anybody is screwing anybody, you are trying to screw us and hold us responsible for your own decisions.

 

The bolded line above makes the responsible whether they want to be or not. Any small claims court would rule in your favor if they said that in court. They would then have to go after the person "they hired" for reimbursement.

 

since the work was done at your shope, by an outside mechanic, isnt the shop still responsible? cus you left him use the shop? isnt an insurance liablility having other non workers in the shop?

 

By the way he likes to explain things yes we would be responsible. However he is not stating the truth and twisting the story to make us look responsible. WE DID NOT HIRE AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC TO PERFORM THE WORK. Our mechanic was out sick, Jeorge did not want to wait until he was better to finish the car. He told us he needed his car back and running. He was going to take the car out of our shop and have it done elsewhere because he had sold his daily driver, it was nothing personal, we understood his need for his car back. However at the last minute he requested if we could save him the money and allow a mechanic or him to work on the car at our shop. He did want to waste money on a tow truck. Of course being we were trying to help him we said ok, he however could not find a mechanic to perform the job. He first offered to pay us double, however the problem was our mechanic was out sick it wasnt about the money, he then went on a local forum and offered anybody money to finish his car, that failed. So then he asked us if we knew anybody, we advised him of a mechanic. At that point we specifically told him if he used this mechanic that we could NOT be responsible for any work(good or bad). His reply was that it was just lifters and it was easy but he didnt have the time to do it. He told us that was fine and HE wanted to use him. The mechanic came and did the work, Jeorge was in the shop while all the work was performed. Which we thought was intersting since he claimed he did not have the time to do it himself. He even raved to us how good he was and how thankful he was for helping him out and recommending him this guy.

Monday morning he calls us and tells us his car is running like crap and that he had taken it apart and found broken head bolts and intake bolts(Strange he could pull it off this fast, yet he couldnt do it himself). He then tells us his crack is blocked, his lifters are broken, etc. He wanted us to get his money back from the mechanic since we recommended him. We told him that was not possible since Jeorge decided to pay him cash and the guy was not going to warrantee anything. Jeorge then came to our shop to pick up some parts we were GIVING to help out on his rebuild. We had no problem helping him out since he was in a bind. He was thankful and had us order him more parts(Brakes, Tires, etc.). We asked him if he needed any help with the rebuild but he declined because he was performing the work himself and didnt have anymore money. He proceeded to tell us that he ordered Patriot Heads and was going to sell the Pro-Filers because they were junk. A couple of days later we call him to let him know his parts were here, he let us know he was installing his new heads and his car would be running soon and he would bring it over to have the brakes done, along with ARP wheels studs and tires.

That was last thursday. Monday we call him to confirm when he was coming for his install and no answer, then Tuesday he goes on his outrage about how we screwed him over, stole from him, and how we OWE him his money back. Mind you he never called us, but posted this on the internet. We found out about it by one of our customers. At this point we have nothing to say to his individual, we have gone ABOVE and BEYOND to help him out, gave him free parts, parts at cost, and let him use our shop to save him money. If he wants to take us to court we are ready to go, if we ran the type of business he claims we would have been shut down a long time ago, anybody who knows us will tell you we are the total opposite. It is quite obvious this individual is looking for a way to pin the blame on us to get his money back from his own mistakes.

 

And very stupid for the shop to try and Mickey Mouse them to get them to work. They should have known better (apparently they do since they warned him) and told him they wouldn't even try to make them work. On top of it, they bring in an outside mechanic.... bad business decisions.

Sometimes it better to say "no".

 

you guy's are flat out lier's.....just found out the cam that you put in my motor was not the one i ordered...who you gonna blame that one on??? you guys are theives and liers and dont worry karma is a bitch and you both will get yours in court and out...thats a promise

 

First of all you knew we ordered you a Thunder Racing Cam, because that was the only one on the shelf ready to be shipped Next Day Air as per your request. You had a Comp Cam and it would take 2-3 weeks to grind, you did want to wait. We gave you the specs and told you it was the closest thing to what you had before. You agreed, and we have the proof that is the Cam in your vehicle. So please explain what Cam you have in your car.

How is it you JUST found out you have a "different" cam if you're car has been running "strong" for the last couple of days. The only way for you to know the specs is if the cam is out, which needs to be out of the car, and NO you do not have the Cam Card, because you left it here and WE have it on file. So is your motor miraculously apart again?(1 day since you posted on here that it was running strong) Or was your car NEVER running. If it is, did you wake up and decide that all of a sudden you are NOT happy with your Cam?? Please explain becuase all you are doing is contradicting every statement with only 5 posts.

Again we have nothing further to say to you, if you feel we have screwed you over take us to court. I have no sympathy for a customer who is trying to hurt our business by posting lies and contradicting statements.

I apologize to all the other members caught up in this ridiculous dispute which should be resolved in a professional manner and not on public internet forums.

I request this thread be locked, not deleted. We have nothing to hide, but I do not think any valuable information or feedback is being posted.

 

yep took it apart last night cause i idid'nt trust the way the car was lobing and since you guys at D'agustino Racing did everything wrong anyway I decided to check everything over again with a real mechanic before the enigine blew with the shitty work that came out of your shop...Unlike you im not a broke *** a will just rebuild the whole thing just for piece of mind cause the work your shop did was garbage and i've been getting alot of pms seems like im not the only one your piece of **** shop screwed over...Im gonna even have signs made to put on all my work trucks and my car that say what a garbage shop D'agustino racing is so when they see it at the track everyone will know what garbage you and dereck are...

 

693 views in this thread....Good that alot of people that are'nt gonna get ripped off by D'agustino Racing... and there more on alot of other forums....

 

Trent.....please tell me this isn't "PonyeaterGTO" from LS1GTO.com. He's long been banned from our site for being a scammer....

 

+1!

 

I just read through the thread, the way he's posting, it sounds exactly like him. If it is, then he's moved from ripping members off, to ripping shops off...
His name was george too, wasn't it?

IP check?


EDIT: Don't believe any of what this POS is posting - he's a known scammer and was banned from ls1gto a long time ago.

And he's not too smart either, look at the similarities between his two profiles:
