How crappy of a person would someone have to be to do that to customers that trusted you? Fastech always seemed shady to me thats why I never used them, and I am glad I didn't.

What does Shawn have to do with this? Didn't he leave that shop?

Fastech was Sean's shop. He wasn't the majority owner but he was a partner from my understanding.


There are only two shops I would deal with in the area. SQR seems to be a great shop from what I've heard from customers. I've gone to RPM and I like their shop and they have very good customer service.

I don't think they were shady but their customer serive was lacking. I called several times about getting some work done but I could never get a phone call back to setup anything. That's what kept me away from the shop. Then after hearing about other's experiance I was glad to go somewhere else

Sean was pretty much the owner. He did what he want charged what he want and was usually there. He has a silent business partner I guess cause you would never see him.

I think the partner stayed out of sight but called the shots and Sean just did what he could.

from what i've heard, and can say - there was an invester/silent parter that micromanaged the place out of business b/c he had no idea what he was doing.

however, sean hasn't really been successful in his prior endeavours either, so i doubt he's scottfree in this one.

Incorrect. The original owners and later owner did not live in DFW, but were never "silent".

I'm sure glad I decided to let RPM tune my car and not Sean. Sorry to hear about everyone's problems, but hopefully everyone will get back what belongs to them!

Actually, after Speedtek, Sean with a partner opened MMT in Royse City for about a year, and then that fell thru and Chuck of HPE started HPE of Dallas in the MMT shop for 2 months with Sean until that fell apart...3 months later Sean started Fastech with new partners back in August 2004...now Fastech's closed.

So, Sean's shops go like this.
Old Fastech...Speedtek...MMT...HPE of Dallas...Fastech

It sucks for the guy's cars who got towed, even though Sean had said he would have all the cars in the shop done by January 1.

Sean or his partner should have let everyone know what was going on before the cars would get towed.

I know Sean since the old Fastech days in 2000 and this is pretty bad.

Too bad for those of you who paid for a "lifetime" tune, seems like sean is always jumping from business to business to business.

Well it looks like I don't get any free updates on my Hp Tuners. This is the 2nd tune I have paid for in a 1 1/2 for the car. Both tuners no longer in buisness if this is true...
