Rotary power of gardena sucks!!!

They ripped me off... I brought my car to them a few years ago to single turbo. When I took it to my new mechanic to take itapart to rebuild it recently because of boost leak and misfiring, I found that my brand new turbo that I gave Rotary Power to install had an apex seal shoot through it. I have personally never blown my motor, which means 1 of 2 things.... either ROTARY POWER BLEW MY MOTOR or they SWAPPED OUT MY NEW TURBO FOR A USED ONE. They ripped me off, and stole/destroyed my new turbo. They also did a mickey mouse job wiring up my powerfc because my tune was so bad, I had misfiring and a very rough idle (sometimes it would die).

I hope Jeff and his homo boyfriend Allen die of STDs and pay for what they've done. I'm not the only one they have screwed over.

Best way to take action. Also, visit the local police station and ask if they've had any complaints of bad business practice. My friend put in a complaint w/ the BBB about a local stereo/wheel shop for selling him wheels they guaranteed to fit, didn't, wouldn't give him a receipt, wouldn't take um back, etc. He went to the police and they said they'd been watching the place and had several complaints. This was a year ago. Now it's under new ownership.

Back 10 years ago, I had a 3mm engine rebuild(was water seal) on my R1.

Charged me $40 for Platinum NGK plugs, but put in regulars (which is so stupid, how long can you conceal).

And had a massive injector leakage (Claimed to have it checked by RC injectors prior to install) affecting very bad hesitation when cruising.

Just doesn't have no respect for customer's car. While Everytime I go there, Jeff like to brag how good of a driver he is.(e.g. "I always drive sideway." WTF)
And their price rose steep and considerably few years after.

one of the shops I avoid after experiencing dealing with.

I've never had any work done by Rotary Power but was treated badly by several members of their staff during a Formula D event in 2004. Dave (GuitarJunkie28) and myself were working on Ryan Hampton's TII drift car...we basically installed and tuned a Haltech E6X, amongst several other engine mods at the same time, in a 24 hour period before the event...we got maybe 1 hours worth of sleep in 2 days of working. The car had issues on the track and we were told repeatedly by Rotary Power staff, might even have been the owner, that their tuner could get a car dialed in within minutes and basically clowned us while we tried to get the car right. All because Ryan declined Rotary Power's offer to work on the car for money at a previous event. We also got harassed by a Rotary Power "groupie", don't know if he was an employee or not, when we pulled in to the event the morning of, saying we didn't know what we were doing and we should let them work on the car. Very unprofessional.
