I'm sorry man but I have to ask everyone to disregard this comment! You don't know what you are talking about. I have the first hand story. The guys from Berger showed up at GMMG and helped Matt and his emplyees finish the cars in about a weeks time and before they could get them done the guys just packed up and took the cars with them and shoved all of the parts inside them. They didn't even help hardly. One of the guys just stood around while Matt and the guys worked. If you think that Matt didn't finish the cars because he is going under or something that IS NOT TRUE! Berger was being an *** about it and just took the cars. Do not blame GMMG.
Get your story straight first bro before you start spreading rumors.

I've been trying for months.

I've heard the shop is closed. Is this right?

Thanks. Jim
Same for me. You can PM me if you want. Show season is around the corner and I need a few things for my Blackbird and have not been able to get in contact with him since last spring/summer. Any info will help.

Ok listen man I spoke personally to Matt at his shop last week about this very issue and so I don't really see how I can get a better story unless I call up Berger and talk to him but unfortunately I don't have his cell number or else I would. All I can say is that there have been some ugly rumors spread about GMMG through posts just like the one you quoted above. The people spreading posts just like that one are being delt with trust me. If you want to go meet with Matt at GMMG and talk to him about it then go right ahead but I already beat you to it so please don't challenge my credibility.

For those of you that need GMMG's new shop phone # 770-592-6261
I told Matt that his phone # on the site isn't working but he just hasn't gotten the chance to change it I guess.

Do you REALLY know who is posting on here, really? Is it several people grousing about GMMG, or one or two with multiple aliases and agendas stirring the pot?. Point is never trust anything you read on an internet forum. Matt isn't going to engage with text fields, he's focused on getting his biz back on line. Did he run in to a rough patch? absolutley, many have the last couple years but he's a survivor. There are several shops that will take your money, some do great work, but none are GMMG. Twelve thousand hits on this thread are testimony to that and like the cliche' goes there is no such thing as bad P.R.

So you can listen to an I.P. address, or talk to the man, he returns all my calls and many others too.
