Here to add on to the poor experience with angel. ordered REW swap mounts in june of last year. here i am, with nothing to show for it almost a year later now.
Ghosted me for months after the initial payment for the mounts, then when i posted on 7AG on FB, they contacted me about them. I said I might want a refund, two days later they sent a picture of them supposedly being worked on, and that if i wanted a refund now they would charge a restocking fee. yeah, right.
so i said **** it, send them. they claim they attempted delivery, showed a photo with my address on the label and a legit sticker from USPS to return to sender. so I paid the 40 bucks for them to try and send it again, so far, they've ghosted me yet again, i would never recommend them to anyone i know.

He still owes me 1300 for parts i paid for 3 years ago. Ive been patient all these years. Ive hit rock bottom, dealt with real life struggles, and problems and never asked for it once until, I found out John shut down in the west coast. I messaged his bro shop in VA weekly and monthly and he hasn't got one message across to john in 6 MONTHS about my refund.I blame it all on the fame from that lame *** who pissed on his fc and reverted back to a rotary thinking hes respected. Who again? It doesnt even matter what his name is..

Never ever take your FD to a shop that you have not THOROUGHLY VETTED.
Here's pic of our latest Mazda crate motor install ( in process ) for a friend.....$5500 motor delivered from Ray Crowe + about $800 for new parts for proper install..... studs/nuts/gaskets/O-rings/water pump/etc.
Extras included engine bay repaint and peripheral restoration to look new

John Vargas has literally never made a single complete payment of the payment plan he requested from the court. I had given him until last month to make it whole and then filed a motion to declare default on his judgement. Court approved.
I wanted to once again, go out of my way to show how flexibile I can be with a difficult person, I have a litany of emails clarifying what he needs to do since Nov last year and has literally never met his end of the bargain.
Once again, avoid this business at all costs. Absolutely refuse to accept responsibility for anything. I'm not even stressing over the money, I just wanted to clarifying that you can be the nicest most flexible person on the planet, give someone +9 months of chances to make it right after he blew the last 2 chances to make it right for years. And these guys will still take you for a ride lol.
And to the people who read this thread thinking it's a one time thing, I'm not the only guy who's been burned by them and that's well documented all over this forum. And the fact they're still dropping the ball almost deliberately after all this time should show you they really don't deserve any benefit of the doubt.

Might as well add my experience, too.
Spring 2020, I ordered a coolant expansion tank from his website. Days later (on his IG story of all places) he announced a temporary close of shop while he was in VA.
Unsurprisingly, I never received my order. The only time i heard from him was a comment reply on IG, telling me he was working on the batch. I filed a chargeback thru paypal just before my 6 month deadline.

He paid most of it lmao. Decided to stop paying after owing a remaining ~$2000
Which is fine by me. The longer he doesn't pay, the more interest I collect and I'll come at him for every cent down the road for sure.
Not to mention he's got a warrant in CA as a result.
If Angel Motorsports is cool with never actually resolving this for years that's just reflective of what we all already knew.
At the end of the day, I'm definitely getting my money lol. And my timeline horizon is very comfortable with the reminder being served ice cold lol.

Damn I feel bad af. Because I like the content they put out. But when I see like the same Rx7s that has been at there shop for awhile. I think damn it has to suck being one of their customers if you’re not a big youtuber…
#41
yea they literally only focus on their own projects or big youtube projects that will gain them a bunch of eyes/clout, such as AdamLZ's 4 rotor build.

That and the interest on my judgement keeps growing so I'm in no rush to collect. If they wanna pay the remainder. They have my number to settle it. But if they wanna ignore it, it'll just get more expensive when it's time to pay the piper.
Assuming they don't run off to the PR lol.
I know one guy down in Florida I believe who is suing them in civil court, so not just small claims. And he's going after Mike. And this dude seems to have a good income on top. So I expect we'll see more.

Nothing much, enjoying hearing that their reputation has only fallen further since. And that they're both getting even fatter lol.

Oooff, it's like looking in a mirror. That's ******* rough for those owners. Hopefully they pursue legal action.

I will do the same if they dont respond to me soon, they have owed me money for almost a year now... they keep telling me they have x y z problems like, "oh ive had a kid" etc ... Basically spent about 15,000$ with these goons and they stole a bunch of ****, its all recorded...
Don't delay the undeniable. Just get started on getting your **** back. Longer you wait. The more damage that happens. Like rats eating your **** and fuel lines corroding. Ask me how I know.
