He blew my stock motor (no motor/ FI kit in car), said he'd build a new one for a deal (which turned out NOT to be one...), promised a free tune (which he apparently does NOT know how to do), new fuel system like his "magazine cover car" being put in (which turned out to be half-assed), and my trans was being rebuilt by the Toy Shop.
Mind you, that the last year or so he would NOT give me updates on my car despite the fact that I did not owe him any money at all. His employees gave me updates on my car...
Believe me, I tried getting my car back. He didn't take me seriously until I reported it stolen... Definitely a lesson learned the hard way for me. I didn't even have to post up, but I felt that I'd share my idiotic mistake so nobody else gets ripped off by Rob.

Did he get convicted of anything besides running a chop shop? Something involving violence when someone tried to repo one of his cars.

... I ran into a friend of his some months back. Really cool cat named Adrian. He told me that Rob "has turned a new leif and it straight now"... Honest truth is, Rob always struck me later on in our friendship sa sociopath that could never change. Will always look for gratification as if he breaths it like air. Needs to be "the bad ***". Will always flaunt how he got away with something. Can never admit to being wrong. Will shift the blame onto someone or something to keep from taking responability. ...Thats just MY opinion of the guy!

Rob hosted a bbq and free dyno day not that long ago right? I'm surprised the ones that attended and posted in that thread haven't come on here to defend that scum bag.
at minimum battery or assault charge for my car

i had my torque converter put in there after i was told it would be finished that day for a ridiculously low price. so i stuck around. once it got to about 5-6pm, the guy working there (can't remember his name, but he seemed like really good guy) said they should probably keep it overnight... i got the feeling like it would have been a bad idea, so i insisted we put it together and i drive it home... instead we worked on it until like 9pm to get the new stall in.
i gotta say, their prices were hard to beat, but after hearing about all the stories and the whole chop shop thing, i'm glad i never left it there that night.

hey there guys, I know this is a old thread and i dont mean to make everyone read and relive their horrible experiences with Rob and SPM but I just came across an add on craigslist for some ls1 parts, some underdrive pulleys and alot of other parts so I called and the guy was claiming he could install everything i needed for a steal! really low price but the more i talked to him the more it seemed familiar then i realized it was Rob. His ad says that he just closed down his shop and he has a bunch of parts and could install them for a low price I just wanted to warn everyone to watch out for him on craigslist now because i wouldnt want to see any of my fellow f body guys get screwed over by this guy.just keep a look out and your eyes open because this guy is still out there trying to screw more people over.

I would have immediately hired an Attorney and gotten a Court order to get my car back.
No one is keeping my car for 4 years while they pretend to work on it.
