Where are you? I left a message with your business partner, Robert Barth, for you to call me back. What didn't I get a call back? Did you even get the message? I thought you guys were trying to "make things right."

 

 

I think more info is needed.

Like I said in my other thread, I am not interested in speaking to a third party or anybody that SPM/DTS has issues with. I didn't take my car to a random *** body shop... I took my car to SPM. I have an issue with SPM. They need to stop trying to pass the buck so that I can resolve THEIR problems by making phone calls that SPM is responsible for.

If this is a testament of how your "new" business is run, then SPM/DTS sure is making a name for itself. Same old ****, different day.

 

No comment from them?

 

how come they havent been arrested? they basically stole your car and had it for 4 years? holy holy moly... i cant believe these people were a sponsor on her and actually had a "shop"

 

Wow.... I am extremely upset to say the VERY LEAST. The shop that is currently fixing my car just informed me that the "built" transmission that I PAID FOR was completely STOCK!! The performance shop that my car is at has been working with these types of vehicles for over 10 years. So there is no way that they can make a mistake in identifying a STOCK transmission.

 

So I wonder who got a newly built auto trans and stuck you with the stock pull out..

 

the trans was trashed... metal shavings, etc...

 

definitely sound like Rob's shop put a used take-out into your car and gave someone else the built transmission you paid for

 

I don't think he's gonna pm u back they been banned for non sponsor soliciting.

 

Did they open it up? AFAIK, there is no way of knowing if a trans is built until they tear into it.

 

From the sounds of it, the "built" trans was never purchased. Sounds like the $$ for the "built" trans went into someone's pocket...

I can't fathom someone starting a new business with Rob Barth involved and then playing off the same name of the failled business Rob Barth owned.

If it smells looks and tastes like ****, it's ****.

 

Yeah, no offense to the new owner/manager/operator but that was the most stupid move I've ever heard of.

 

No, it was. IslandGrown had talked to the shop who built it (and re-built it a couple times bc Rob blew the trans multiple times) while they were building it to get updates for time frames since Rob was ignoring him and not updating him. The shop who built it is a legit shop who does great work and has great customer service. At one point, I'm pretty sure the built trans WAS in the car and the car/trans was at that shop together (and installed); so it was apparently later removed, and possibly sold?

Hmm, Rob double dipping and screwing a customer over? You don't say...

 

He PMed me back and said that he will call me today. So far no calls.... surprised? not by a long shot.

 

Yeap, the shop fixing my car tore into it bc the transmission wasn't shifting correctly. In neutral, the trans was still under load... meaning when you revved it in neutral, the car would creep forward as if it were in gear. As a result of tearing into it, they discovered that it doesn't look like the trans that was in there was touched. The trans trashed my Yank torque converter too....
