Enhanced Performance/ARF Tuning

[speedfreak]

BEWARE, i had my engine rebuilt by LUKE, he also supplied gt30 turbo, sti block, forged pistons con rods bearings ect, whilst my car was in his posession on two occassions my fuel tank was emptied by one of his workers, dump valve disapeared, screwed up the new intercooler pipework by cutting off the flanges screwed up a set of injectors, air flow sensor,clutch set fire to the engine dented the bonnet, what a wan*er. Just taken it to Brent today because of oil leaks to find out the con rods are standered oil leak from main oil seal, sump, gear box, headers, behind cambelt cover, valve seals leaking and no3 piston has oil in it. For the work done by Luke was @ £7500.00, and was i done, now im looking at another £2000.00+ only good thing to come out of this is at least i know Brent, and can trust what he says he is going to do, and it will be done. Do not send your car to Luke, he is in Horsham by train station

Their where jap village where and the building has seen three further tuning companies that just don't seem to cut the mustard . Shame as the set up there is ideal for a business of that type .

Have you confronted them about this? If you have and they won't do anything to rectify what they have done to your car and what it's cost you then a visit to citizens advice or even the police depending on how your car was damaged and where the petrol has gone should yield some results....

if had forked out that much in one hit on my car i'd probably share my experience by starting a few threads on A LOT of car forums...... everyone loves a bit of free advertising!!

pretty sure this is the same lot that my mate had rebuild his ra...was charged alot for it to go pear shapped very quickly after being returned..when checked out hardly anything had been replaced, tried to take them to court for months with reports from trusted garage of faults,wiggled out of the lot,bankruptcy etc etc.. ended spending thousands else where to get re,done!!!

Had a chat with a mate of mine and the outcome is because i paid cash with no reciepts i have to prove Luke done the work and got paid for it, he wont have to prove anything, so was advised to swollow it and learn from it. His employee at the time has since been sacked. Does make you think about garages, who to trust and who not to!
