IR PERFORMANCE NJ Amazing!!
hey guys, just got my baby back last night and after several hours of driving around aimlessly i decided to throw something up here about the shop i got the work done at. I really don't know where to start so i guess ill start at the begining.
I own a 94 FD which i bought 3 years ago with a blown turbo seal on one of the stock twins. I bought the car aiming to just replace the turbos and get it on the road asap. I looked on this forum for a reputable shop, found one, and gave the guy a call. After discussing the issue and my options for a while, i decided to rebuild/port the motor and go with a single turbo set up instead of the twins. The shop i delt with gave me a reasonable price so i figured lets do it, it will almost be like having a new car. Turned out being the worst decision ever! not because of the price or the car but because of the shop i chose. The egine blew 6k miles in. He ended up not carring what so ever! He reused all the factory gaskets, hoses, clamps,apex seals, everything, u name it he reused it, which have never been changed in the cars total 83k miles. Instead of getting new ones and including them in the quote he used extreme amounts of silicone, hoses with a screw in the end for block off points, left live wires stripped and just hanging there, ect ect ect. I mean like the list goes on and on and on!The port he gave me was not what was discused!
After taking it to IR PERFORMANCE in NJ i learned about all these short cuts he took. The guys at IR PERFORMANCE took care of me. They called me in to the shop several times over the corse of the job to show me the damage and garbage job ths other shop did. They took pictures throughout the hole prosscess and kept me in the loop. They went above and beyond!!! for example instead of just replacing the fuel filter they relocated it so it would turn from a 4 hour job to ten min job, they heat wrapped all nessesary parts, they called me when they saw anything fishy that looked like it was going to go within the next couple thousand miles and asked me if i wanted to replace it while they had it apart. They were able to obtain all parts nessesary quickly and for reasonable prices, they gave me the option of going new or lightly used good conditon on several big items i needed. They even took the time to explain how a rotory engine works by showing me an engine they were working on at the time. Yes they did take a while longer than i expected but the car was in horrible condition.
THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THEY HONESTLY CARE ABOUT YOUR CARS FUTURE. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THEIR SERVICES, BIG OR SMALL!
