Spintek Performance Unprofessional Business Conductor Las Veas, Nevada

20th of Dec, 2011 by User439590

I had work done by this shop thinking it was legit quality shop. The request & task was simple enough to where just about any performance shop can comprehend. This shop was paid up front and some kick back cash thinking I was going to get A+ professional quality work. My expectation wasn't demanding. Top it all off I am missing parts I originally went to the shop with. Started with me buying a new shell & I bought the engine from the shop. I gave the shop owner half the money upfront to get the project started and I was promised this car finished in 3 weeks tops. The shop owner ended up having my car for 5 weeks plus an additional 2 weeks because the shop owner kept running into problems & I still got a car that have problems. After experiencing this I was fed up with the time frame, just like any consumer I took my car to another shop to get it evaluated and the results was terrifying. Spintek claimed I brought him a "piece of s**t" to work with, when the truth is he had my original shell to work with that had more than enough good running parts to go off of. I didn't just get my car back I got a car that look like it was done overnight and has neglect written all over it. I visited the shop a couple of times to check the progress on the car, one visit I saw a young kid no older than 14 years old working on the car. Spintek claims he is teaching the boy to work on cars, this wasn't just disappointing to see, after seeing this I was already expecting things to go wrong. Over the phone I was told the progress was coming along and being all excited about the results I went to the shop the following morning and what the shop claim they had done was not done. At this point I just wanted my car finish so I can be done with this shop. When I got the car back, so many things was wrong with it that the next morning we had to take it to another shop to get it checked out. The car sputters and turn off and we can smell gas coming into the car. My speedometer & turn signal wasn't working. Power Steering didn't work, the car shake on idle and hot heat was coming into the car from the gear shifter. When I told the shop owner this they wanted me to bring it back in so he can fix all those problems and I stated to him I shouldn't even be going through this many problems and most important the car should of never release to me in that condition. The inspection, first thing that was easily notice was the inner/outer tie rods, at a quick glance this was easily determined that it was worn and the boot was ripping off. Could of got this part from the original shell. The engine shaking, the motor mount was not the performance motor mounts that came from the original shell. This is where things get really dangerous, a broken drive shaft. If this part broke while we were driving on the highway my car would of vaulted forward causing a really bad accident, severe injuries even death. Rear Lower Control Arms, high quality high performance parts missing the cotter pins to lock the crown bolts in place. I was missing 3 out of 4 thats suppose to go with this part. If the crown bolt came off potentially damaging a joint on the car. The plate to keep transmission heat out of the car was not installed. 2 exhaust hook was not hooked or bolted down leaving my exhaust hanging so low it scraped just about anything and everything. I have some of my parts left from my old setup and I'm trying to get them back. Its been a struggle because I'm catching the shop owner with the lies. I'm getting the run around and excuse after excuse. Owner tells me have have the parts in storage then the next he's telling me it's in a car that's in an impound yard. He said he call the owner of the tow yard to get the car ... that's a lie. I know that guy and I called him he stated he never got a call from Spintek. I find out that the shop owner is not even a certified mechanic.
