Experience with Japtrix

I was wondering if some people could come in here and give me their experiences with Japtrix and what kind of work they've had done. I want to get a general opinion and ask some questions before I do any bashing.

Roger (the owner) has been in the game for quite some time....his T2 was running very consistently for years. Ive never had any work done by him personally but I know people that have and they all have good things to say.

I've dealt with them. Roger, is a stand up guy. Every time I've been down there I've been treated like family by their staff.

Man...I've heard the same thing. Everyone says they're really great, but I've had nothing but problems with my car. The previous owner took it to them. Myself and my own mechanic have been finding a lot of cheap and used materials when digging around under the hood, and now I'm rebuilding my engine about 15k miles after they rebuilt it.

Oil seal failure not caused by overheating. It all seems so strange to me.
