A definition of LS1Tech is- a place where we can go to simply to find out a)information about how to upgrade our car, b)optional places to go upgrade our car at, and c)create a network with others that share the same interest etc. Without the plethora of threads on this site about good experiences and bad experiences at any shop, I would not have been able to make a fully informed decision the second time around.
The truth is that a business owner will never go through time with 100% satisfaction from 100% of their customers. I am an example of that. For some reason a good amount of people enjoy going to RPM Motors yet my experience there was not so good to say the least; and as business goes, and life for that matter, I'm sure I won't be the final customer to leave there upset.
I did wait a couple of months actually to post anything about RPM because I wanted to make sure that I had no more negative feelings regarding that experience. It sucked but life goes on; and as a member of this forum I find it my duty to express an unbiased account of the events that unfolded.
Charlie... earlier you stated "I didn’t tamper with your car in any way cause a defect. And, continuing to state this will bring you and anyone involved to full measure of the system. I simply won’t stand to be defamed and will pursue this to all ends." I am not defaming you in any way... if sharing my experience at your shop (which is a normal thing on this forum) is pushing you to make threats then you are way out of hand. Relax, take a breather and really just move on with your life and work on the cars you have now. This thread is again.. an unbiased perception of the events that unraveled. Really you and your shop are not that high up on the ladder of things that are of concern in my life... I simply posted this again for others to see, yet you continue to attack me and someone I care about on a personal level. I apologize that the one conversation you had with my boyfriend alone...led to him becoming the root of all your troubles regarding my own vehicle.
To have arguements over cars online is one thing, but to slam me as a liar and say that my reaction to your cussing me out was "scary" is ridiculous and out of proportion. There is no need for you to attack me personally when I have done nothing of the sort. As for you stating that I am the one who told you off... that would be an interesting thing to do counting that I was at work when you told me off, and 2 of my co-workers heard you on speaker. I could go on and on with you on this forum but frankly I have better things to do with my time. This does not have to go any further... just let it go. For some reason you have issues with me personally when others don't but okay so what... not everyone in life is going to like you and that's ok because I don't personally like you either... so let's agree to disagree. The end.

So much for the "Customer is always right" ...
Talk about a cat fight..
To the OP - Nice #'s and car !!
BTW... For what its worth. If i spent that much money and/or the mods that DRAKE02 has, I think i'd want to know what the hell was going on with my car also. And also would want it back in a timely fashion. And would expect to receive the car as how it went in if not better. Thats called being PROFESSIONAL. If you cant hold up to that, then maybe you should close your doors and find a different hobby.. My .2
Edit(I have spent that much money, but i did the work myself)

This thread is getting crazy people! Someone (me) had a bad time at RPM Motors ok... so what... read it, take what you want from it, but there's no reason or purpose to begin other feuds or crap on here over it. So quit with the senseless conspiracy theories about other shops, there's nothing to gain from this.

im sure if the person in the original post would have just spoken to charlie at rpm in a grown up professional way there would not be this issue. its all in how u talk to people. i sure as hell wouldnt work on a car that someone disrespected me with. kinda like ordering food at a restaurant where u yell at the waiter i mean come on.
as for the whole shop feud i think that would be a great episode on PINKS![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
maybe a thought.

As stated above, the issue was born with the insults of Charlie against me. I gave him an opportunity to explain his hatred of my boyfriend, to which he only spoke to once on the phone, and all I got back was a mouthful of cuss words. I was more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe, that although still unprofessional and inexcusable, he was just having a bad day. He then proceeded to walk to my boyfriend's car (in which he was seated waiting for me when we went to retrieve my car) and tell him that he would call the cops on him... I told Charlie then, in order to avert a confrontation that he was seeking with my boyfriend, that I didn't know what was wrong with his head or what he held against my boyfriend but all I wanted or cared about was getting my car back and never having to see his face again. I never once cussed this man out because I knew that if some day it came down to what is happening now... it would bite me in the ***. I respected this man and contrary to his accounts so did my over-zealous boyfriend who did nothing but serve as a taxi for me. This boyfriend hasn't gone away and I still am modding my car so obviously, if these complaints about me stood any ground then I would have been kicked out of Strictly Performance a long time ago.
