Hack job......MUST SEE - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Shane* · 12-23-2010, 02:43 PM

What I can't wrap my head around is the fact the kid actually paid for that abortion ...

Altec · 12-23-2010, 02:59 PM

At the end of the day though, it seems like the guy who did the work got stiffed the most.

I can't stand minis though... The trucks are fine, but around me the only people who have them are fat kids. The kind that wear tapout shirts, and confuse fat, with muscle...

Hey there. Be nice...

Altec · 12-23-2010, 07:28 PM

Oh, no offense meant to any mini owners around here. This place has people with...how should I put it? Common sense! I'm quite fond of the mighty-max, and LUV's myself.

It is just my local mini scene blows... Most of the 4x4 scene sucks too. There is a guy who is driving around with a '90's half-ton on 40" tires. Scary.

I still feel sorry for the guy who fixed the truck. It really seemed like he was doing a lot of work for zip. Which isn't fair.

**kev2809** · 12-23-2010, 09:12 PM

I feel so bad for that kid. But he needs to fight back. That is illegal. His truck is not safe, and they made it that way.

I have to agree. If he does'nt fight back it will happen to someone else. A shop in our area, Bergee Automotive, finally went out of business a yr ago. We are still fixing botched suspension and brake work from thier shop. 10+ yrs of destroying peoples cars/trucks and no one fought him on it. So, it just kept happening. Not quite this bad, but almost. I am glad he is getting some help to fix it correctly, let me know if we can help. Merry Christmas

he would have to sue in civil court, it would cost him more in attorney fees and nothing says they won't do it to the next guy... word of mouth is the best way to fight moron shops like this...

*project 67 sub* · 12-24-2010, 02:24 AM

man i cant believe that crap that shop put out on the road. i could have done better myself in my garage or backyard. granted the welds wouldn't look the greatest but would look and im sure hold alot better than that junky hack fab job. he really should go after that shop for what they did to his truck because i know i would.

Mike J · 12-24-2010, 03:14 PM

The worst part is surely that's not the only bag job this shop has done, wonder how many other death traps they're put out on the road...

and what kind of person could take $2500 from somebody for that kind of work? they have to be real low-lifes...

scooterskoolkustoms · 12-24-2010, 04:02 PM

wow wow and wow.

baggedout81 · 12-24-2010, 05:08 PM

I'd put that company on blast if i was him.That's BS paying that much for garbage putting someone's an others life's in danger

jdfrmnt · 12-25-2010, 07:14 PM

wow that shop must have a drunk monkey doing bag jobs

thirdstreettito · 12-27-2010, 02:10 AM

Well, according to the poster, the kid is 18 or so. I just turned 18 today, most of the kids my age don't know crap about anything that isn't a video game or a cell phone. I know of kids his age that don't know that you can return something to a store. It's stupid what kid's DON'T know. He could very well not know he can fight back.

*Shane* · 12-27-2010, 12:56 PM

A fool and his money are soon parted ... or partying ... that's totally dependent upon the fool.

Primered_69 · 12-27-2010, 03:22 PM

I believe either it was an an elaborate hoax by the kid and the the shop that fixed it or it is true.

The shop that fixed it has a website http://www.kustomautotech.com and is about 10 miles from where S&S Customs was supposed to be located.

I doubt that someone who is in the business would not know someone who is familiar with a shop (even out of a garage) or know of them themselves.

They would have a better way of verifying the existance of the place without having to go to the internet. Plus, with the quality of work exhibited in the first part, i doubt they would be an established company with a location and a phone line.

Most likely some wannabes in a garage with a spray painted logo on the wall that use their personal cell phones. Kinda like me but I only screw up my own stuff....

**LEEVON** · 12-27-2010, 05:11 PM

What a mess! Kudos to the new shop for fixing it pretty much pro-bono. It sucks to see a kid taken advantage of, I think it's safe to say he's learning a lesson (I hope).

There were a couple of other posters that live in the area of KAT and S&S, They stated they knew of the place but as a house with some kind of junk used car lot in front and garage in the back not a "custom" shop. IMO, I agree with below....

... or it was a helluva marketing ploy by the "repairing" shop in order to appear to be a "goody guy" ... ok, so I'm a pessimist.

If so, it worked. They are looking like the heroes here, but rightfully so. He's going the extra mile to take full advantage of the attention.
