First hand experience with low life:My brother took his Z there to get a RB swapped in the car. Car came in with a perfect body, ran ok and everything, just that stock it was pretty slow.
Enter Erik.
Gives a time frame for the work, exceeds the time frame by many months, blames it on parts etc... Which could be true and all
Somehow causes a big dent on the rear quarter passenger side and causes the paint to chip off. He says oh I will get that taken care of,.... well months later, and plenty of calls and messages he says, "well that did not happen here" after he said there was paint from the car on the floor at his shop.
Right, so afterwards he gives my brother the name of his "paint" guy to take a look at it after my brother had called him tens of times, and no anwer (caller ID), and left messages. I instructed him to ask for Erik's insurance info, which Erik would not give out, then I told my brother to ask Erik for his lawyer, which he would not give out either.
Erik is sincerely a shady fellow, and I had wanted a 1jz swap in a FD done by him, but I cant stand being jerked around and lied to.
Avoid him at all cost.
Erik; This is Steve Outterbridge, and if you have a problem with anything I have said, or you think that somehow you can explain not answering countless messages for months, then at all means call me or meet me, my dad owns a business so I think I know a bit about how it should and should not work.
I can say that the car runs great, and the swap is pretty clean. Its the ethics/business side that he sucks at. There was numerous other issues to with his work, but I don't have time to completely indulge in everything.
A huge dent with missing paint now resides here:
