[QUOTE="evn62719, post: 10216815, member: 51714"] I've held my tongue long enough. I dont want anybody to go through what I did. I wouldnt let TPS change a headlight bulb on my car. Here's why. I bring my car to Benjy for an oil consumption issue. He tells me 3-4 weeks to pull the engine, have it sent off and rebuilt and reinstall and wire up some gauges. 3-4 months later he finally gets the motor back in the car (builder had it for maybe a month) and a timing chain tensioner goes out. Long story short he had my car for a year (Oct-Oct.) Now keep in mind this was an immaculate, 17,000 mile beautiful Mach 1 and we discussed it and he agreed that my car would be stored indoors. That went completely out of the window after the 1st month and my car sat uncovered in his parking lot for almost a year. By the time I got it back my drag radials were cracking and dry rotted, it had horrible water spots from the daily afternoon showers La. gets and I had a fairly large scuff in the paint on the rear fender that I was luckily able to buff out myself. The last 4-5 months that he had it, it was damn near impossible to get in touch with him. I started stopping by there on my way home from work and would find him just sitting in his office playing on facebook, hanging out with his buddies or working on some car that just got there and mine had been there for 9 months. He would tell me he was going to be at the shop at a certain time but when I got there he was nowhere to be found. That happened on several occasions. I got my car back one weekend because he wanted me to put some miles on the break in tune and the transmission locks in 4th gear. First, he told me it was a low fluid issue, then tells me one of the synchros broke off. This was a brand new $3500 RPM Transmission's level IV T56. He did man up and pay for that though. He emails me that my car was done, I go to pick it up and of course he's nowhere to be found and won't answer his phone so I can't ask him any questions. None of the gauges were wired up, just set in the pillars. He lost 2 of the sending units from brand new in the box gauges, asked me if I took them (WTF?) and used that as an excuse for not hooking them up. The tune made good power but I get 12mpg no matter what kind of driving I'm doing. Save youreself the trouble guys and take your car to somebody that does this full time. Learn from my mistakes.
