Hi fellow member. I have owned my rx7 for about 14 year now. Been to a few shop and had my experience. I have been a Streetpower client for many year. Sean has always worked on my car.. Sean is not an honest and is a sneaky person. I will come to him to fix what ever is wrong with the car and give him whatever he asks of me i pay. But in return he mistreats me. Whenever u bring ur car to him sure he will fix ur car but for a high price which is my part if i agreed or not. But he would tell me i need this and that. I wouldn’t know any better and I am not a mechanic, I am just a person who loves rx7’s.

Sean stole my set of volk gt7 and sold it to one of his clients without my consent which I forgave him because i was afraid i wouldn’t have any other mechanic to fix my car. So i kept my mouth shut. I had my turbo upgrade b4 and he stole my hks heat shield which he claims i didn’t have it on my car. I did have a hks turbo kit. Just recent i had him to repair my car because i had my car sitting in the garage for 5 year without moving. So he told me i have to get my car redone everything including rebuilding the engine. So i had my car engine rebuilt. He convinced me to replace my Powerfc to Haltech Sprint RE because my engine harness had been chew up by mouse. He claimed he threw the Powerfc in the trash because there was rat **** on it even though they did not get inside the car and it was clean. Hmmmmmm. I told him i want my powerfc back but he say it in the trash. We had a argument he kick me out of his shop. I took my car to Marco's shop and he have a look around my car and notice i was missing the oil injection pump and told me u have to premix now. If i haven’t took my car else where i probably would drove my car without the knowledge of premix and blow my engine again then Sean probably come up with a story of why then I will believe him and dish out more money for rebuild again. I already had like 3 rebuild engine with Sean and each time was a different excuse. So he took from me a set of volk gt7, hks heat shield, oil injection pump, and Powerfc. I hope who ever got my part is enjoying it better then i did. So guy and girl please don’t ever set foot in Streetpower, you will only get rip off and robbed.

 

 

Edit.

Read the thread.

 

I don't know the OP or Streetpower but these posts by nature are one sided and don't really allow the other party to reply in defense.

It does seem odd that the OP allowed his set of rims to be stolen from him and yet continued to have his car worked on extensively by Steetpower just because he feared not being able to find another rotary specialist. This is Toronto after all and as such there are many places that specialize in rotaries.

 

I'm curious about this as well.

 

I know using the search function is not the easiest thing to do, but if someone did attempt to search for shops in the GTA, they would've found a few posts already regarding which shops are good and which ones to stay away from.

Streetpower is definitely one to stay away from.
It's unfortunate you had to feel the way you did when all you really wanted to do was have a mint car. Alas...

 

That sucks.

 

holy **** batman...... dam

 

wow..$6000.00 for a rebuild...wonder what you get for that? maybe he throws in a set Volk gt7's ,power fc, hks heatsheild...well if that's true you would at least hope so.

 

That's all you got to say?

 

I did finally ask for my rim back but he say he got a policy if any item were to be left at the shop more then 15 days he will throw it in the trash. Which at that time he never mention anything like that to me. He told me to email him not to call him anymore because he blocking my number.

 

I am pretty sure i am not the only person he screw around. I was young and dumb. So careless alway give people the benefit of doubt

 

You were young and dumb? The invoice you posted is from 3 months ago.

 

smh, how do you go back to a shop after they steal your wheels. And that invoice is pretty recent too so I don't understand your "I was young and dumb" comment.

I think after spending 10,000 on the car, you should have at least thought about where your money was being used and how it was being spent as well.

In all honesty, I feel OP was getting something sweet out of this and things turned sour. Again, who the heck goes back to a shop after they steal your wheels???

There are like 4-5 different shops in Toronto. I really doubt you cared enough about your car if you shelled out 10,000 and didn't think twice when he started giving you bullshit fees like "late payment fees"

Since when was StreetPower a bank? Shame on majority of these shops these days. I really have lost respect for not one, but two Caribbean builders/shops now

 

The rim issue was like 6 to 7 year old

 

Anyone that's been around long enough has heard the countless stories coming from that shop. It's not just 1-2 bad experiences that could just be tossed up as a random. It's story after story and its always a very similar story. Not going into details, I can basically summarize it as once he see's he can't extract more money or parts from you, he just kicks you out on the curb. But until that point he will appear to be a helpful person and pretends to offer a premium service.

Also, apparently this is how you repair a stripped thread for the sway bar mount on an FD. Just mig weld the bracket on so it rusts...
