Default Issues at RPM?

My friends dad has been trying to pick up his prochargerd Z28 from RPM because they have had it the last month or so due to tuning it and what not, but he kept calling them and no one would answer so he went up there, and talked to the owner and said he had to close down the place due to issues w/ employees. i dont wanna say what he told me yet cus im not sure its true it seems a lil extreme. but i hope some one will chime in or maybe lydia wil cus i know shes on here.

I hope they didn't close down. They really know how to tune cars. They were really helpful when tuning my car on the dyno and also they really helped answer some of my questions I had. They are a really nice place. I don't want to have to pay someone else to tune my car!!! Hopefully someone will chime in and give us some more info. on RPM's situation.

BTW: Lightemup..is your friends' procharged Z28 a black Z28? I think I saw it up there last month when I was up there getting my car retuned. That car looked sick

RPM is fine.....I dont know of the car that you are speaking of. Are you sure that you are talking about the right place? They are not having troubles of any sorts for sure. If anything they have too much work....lol Guess thats not that bad of a deal. You can call up there and leave a message if they are not answering and i am sure they will call you back. Just a thought
