The list of shoddy work and the car breaking down is endless just as RON'S(the owner) excuses and lies, here's a shining example
Cooling Passages Not Properly Hot Tanked Cleaned From Ron no craftmanship here at all ... Not even first year trade school This was found when Mechanic had to turn engine plate around that was put on backwards before installing staright from Ron .. His response was you can't catch everything when you have guys working for you ... What kind of quality control is that ?? Not Oh we will fix it and make it right no ...

ABSOLUTE RIPOFF! I have a 69 Camaro with a 396 engine. I was told by "RON" the business owner, that the build would cost 8 grand with 500 hp. The best "RON" could do was 450 hp. I told "RON" I didn't want a Holley Carb. He replaced my Proform carb and guess what he put on it... you bet, a Holley 850. Over jetted and puking globs of gas in order try to reach the 500 hp he promised.
The smell of gas permeated my clothes and I was requested not to park in the underground of my work place because of the gas fumes. My friends joked, "Don't light a cigarette around my car".
So I had a "real" performance shop in Langley re-jet and tune the engine. They dyno'd it at 430 hp and stated with this set up 500 hp could never be reached and at 12 grand it should have been built properly.
I waited 6 months for the engine build while I watched "RON" put his 68 Camaro back on the road. "RON" kept saying he had to wait for parts etc. and that I needed to pay more money.
I asked "RON" for a break down of expenses for the 12 grand I paid. Got a list of basic part names but no part numbers.
I recently installed an Edelbrock EFI Pro Flo XT. In order to program the ECU properly we needed engine specs. My mechanic asked "RON" for the compression and camshaft specs. "RON" would not supply them. That was the final straw for me so I decided to warn everyone about the integrity of "RON" and ergo his business.
My respect goes to "DUANE" who builds the engines. He is friendly and meticulous and definitely knows what he's doing. Too bad he works for this guy.
