Beef belongs in the good guy/bad guy section. If you want to bash a shop, that's where it needs to go. Please don't come into a thread started by a well-known reputable shop owner and put them down based on YOUR one bad experience. Leave the thread to do what it was made for. Thanks.

Not to mention, there is always two sides to each story. While I seriously doubt Ralph would come on here and even say a word about what transpired , I'm sure there is more than what is being told. This isn't an opinion, this is fact.

Also, its a proven fact you cant make 100% of the people happy, %100 of the time. Everyone has unhappy customers. Rob Golden, Corksport, GZ has all had some, and even your buddy Steve has had his share.

Ok, I'm done giving the kids a lesson in life. CJ

I have takin my car to ralph before Im im sure I will again especially at those awesome prices. Last time I went the person I setup the appointment with did not right it down I guess and when I got there they knew nothing about it. They had no problems getting me in right away. So I really appriciated that and I got 260 at 8PSI so not to shabby at all.

Last I heard from Pineapple and a friend who knows Bryan very well is they broke their lease (it was not terminated, they broke it.) sold their dyno to a competitor, and sold all their cars. All the cars are in storage and only a few people are working out of someones garage.
Everyone I talk to is calling this the end of GroundZero...

Snap. I called them a few weeks ago about taking my car there and they said to call a week later because they were swamped. I guess not.

when i picked up my car from Chris he said they lost their lease due to kids doing burnouts in the parking lot and some other issues..

i picked my car up from a used car dealership west of portland and it seemed like quite a few of their cars were there. if anybody wants to get ahold of Chris for questions i think his number is somewhere in this thread if not i can post it

It's too bad. That location was sweet. Me and Dan from Pineapple used to work there in that shop doing van conversions as our first jobs. I'm sure the rent was horrible....

I know groundzero is down now, but does this mean ralph is going to stop tuning?

You could PM him, but from understanding last time I talked to him, he wasn't going to. Only for friends. He might change his mind though, you never know. CJ
