Yes, he was fixing the body work. I appreciate that he was at least communicating with me as far as the status of the car, but Rob even held that up by not providing the necessary parts to make it run. I had to throw more money into the car to replace parts that he stole. So he replaced the damaged parts with a Chinese **** aftermarket bumper, non-sunoco hood, missing stock ground effects... to name a few.

Maybe that's why he gave me the victor jr intake. When I bought the z28. But no harm no foul I never used the car. I only wanted the motor. And it was a stocker clutch lol

It was over a 6 month ordeal to even find the car with the help from the detective from the Devonshire division. Pure hell and when the car turned up at Lou's, it was in terrible shape, missing so many parts.

You are actually going to believe anything Rob will say? I hope you take your car to him and it ends up in the same condition.

Glad to see the Camaro is home even if she is wounded. Make her better than before!

I believe it 100%

I've seen first hand a car that was worked on at Strictly and I've heard of multiple horror stories.

There has been plenty of warning about this scam artist on these forums and if anyone still goes to him they deserve to get ripped off.

Its too bad that some people weren't lucky enough to be warned before.

I don't think Rob will post in this thread, his reputation is pretty hoot over here.

Truth hurts. He knows how badly he fucked up my car, and he has yet to admit any fault in the fact that my car was not even running.

Mark has by far one of the worst horror stories out of that shop. ..

I wonder if Rob still logs into this site. Everytime he posts he gets called out by old customers or friends of old customers. I like to sit back and read the carnarge! lol

Yea, probably! But it's probably nothing more than a giant paperweight at the moment. lol

wait wait wait. was that the "terrorist" style photo with the ******* newspaper? what a piece of ****. A person like Rob deserves absolutely no respect from anybody.

Rob is a shady ************. I wish him nothing but the worst. If anyone has had a "good experience" through him and continue to go back, you're just on borrowed time. It's like the poor version of Hennessy. How anyone continues to still give these people money, let alone allow them to even still exist in the performance auto industry is beyond me. what's the saying, "one right doesn't make 10 wrongs ok"

Wonder whatever happened to Rob's chop-shop law suit? Or the class action lawsuit that was brought against him by other fucked over customers?

deny deny deny. In Rob's mind and public outspeak here, "he has made right all of the wrongs that came from his shop"

Glad i was warned by not one but 2 people that worked there when i thought about taking my car there for some work.

Sorry to hear about your loss man, hope he gets whats coming to him. Karma is a bitch and she always deals the worst revenge to those that deserve it.
