If you are looking for a good shop most everyone will reccomend CMS in Murrieta, I highly reccomend them. Ive had them do all of my tuning as well as built the motor for my racecar and a ton of other work. They are usually quite busy but for good reason.

Lol. Good thing you checked in here first. Thats what the forum is for, looking out for other enthusiasts. With as many crooks like Bob that are out there we need to put them on blast and warn others.

There's tons of threads on Rob. A bunch of people's cars were held hostage in his shop for well over a year. I brought my GTO to him back in 2005 to change the clutch and rebuild my transmission, found out that he was driving my car back and forth to his house, doing doughnuts/burnouts, you name it. I was given a hand written receipt, a bunch of stock trim/parts missing, trash all over the inside, and a bag full of his dirty laundry in my trunk (still have pics to prove it!).

Sucks when people I know call me up saying "hey why are you doing burnouts in your car in van nuys" then finding out that it was Rob. So yeah, stay far away. He must have gotten out of jail not that long ago.

I'm sorry to hear that, this is far worse than having your car molested.

I have nothing nice to say about him. At least I didn't have any major problems with his shop/work like others did. I wish I had gone to CMS first and not wasted time and money going to the nearest place
