    I've used them in the past, I had my Porsche and Lambo aligned by them, they do good work.

    Theyve been around forever
    Tom is the owner and has always been helpful.

    I havent had any Ferrari work done by them though although they were rebuilding a f430 engine.


    He owned f430 previously and currently has a 599.

    I own a building up the street from him, he's always open. Dirty shop, too many cars, the are supposed to do good work. His main mechanic Carlos went out on his own (pm me for his info). What do you need done on what kind of car?

    I used them for my Porsches, and my neighbor had them extensively mod his GTR. as mentioned very small dirty shop but they did great work.

    also one of the more difficult to reach businesses I've ever encountered, only accessible via phone and even then hard to get to answer or return calls.

    Robbie, I'm assuming this is about parts not paid for?

    Yes, he has not returned any calls, emails, etc since April. Owes me a large amount of money. Trusted him to send the refinished parts back before sending payment because a previous job we did for him, he paid promptly. Hard to stay afloat when customers refuse to pay their bills in a timely manner or at all. People like him screw it up for good customers because now I refuse to send any parts back to customers, dealers or shops that don't have a credit card on file with me or account set up. SMH

    Anyone that can get me in touch with him or help with this matter, I will make it worth your time. Heard a guy tell me he is out of business and others say he is not.

    Nothing is current on his website or Facebook page. So not sure what is up. I have his shop number, which says no voicemails can be left because the mailbox is full. And he won't answer his cell phone. No response via email either.

    The gate was locked when I drove past today, but someone was working on Porsches inside.

    Send a demand letter. If no response serve him with court papers. Pay a lawyer since you're willing to make it worth someone's time and they'll appear for you to teach him a lesson in good business ethics.
