Look what STREETWYZE did to my car
 
I had a swap done at a little shop in burlington called STREETWYZE. They used the wrong rear mount and now i have a big chunk taken out of my tranny housing. They refuse to do anything about it. Here are some pictures.

Heres the damage.

They also used the wrong lower rad hose. All they did was add a larger peice of rad hose to the end of my stock one so it would fit the larger thermostat housing of the b-series. Thus causing a leak where the hose was connected to the stock rad hose. I guess the $23 integra lower rad hose was too much to spring for.

I just wanted to inform everybody of my experiences with streetwyze and the type of work that comes out of their shop.

ive only dealt with one mustang shop that didnt up one of my cars, or do something near fatal to one of them..
Every other shop has horror stories, EVERY!!.

heres some ups shops have done to my ride:

1) dropped tranny fluid on the paint, had to be buffed out.
2) left car OUT of shop over two nights without me knowing, car broken into...i ended not only paying for the new window, i also had to install it myself.
3) sold me a blower that was new (but really wasnt).. then mysteriously couldnt remember my car when i was trying to get some service for the blower.
4) set my car on fire (yes, this is true)..
5) broke my alarm worth $1000
6) bent a skirt on the car
7) refuse to complete the car because it was too much work.
8) sold some of my parts there were there for my car
9) and the cake, in 1997 i had a shop try to steal my car, too which they actually were caught red-handed.

Unless you do the work yourself, you just dont know. Even for me, im not able to do all the work myself, but i try doing it before i take it to a shop.

nevermind mis-diagnoses.

No. It isn't. At all. He's already paid for the job, so taking it to court will result in a lengthy trial, and little or no chance of him winning the case.

Your best bet is, like others have said, taking it to a personal justice level.

My neighbor had a run in with that shop.Joe is a crook plain in simple.Ripped him off for alot of money.Whats even funnier is he has the owner of the shop on tape.The loser told him 4 different stories and its all on tape.I cant stand mechanics that rip people off.

ing losers

98z24 04-17-2005 07:49 PM

Straight up, thats hard to believe.

I know of at least a dozen, maybe more, people that swear by Joe's work over at RaceTech.

But hey, people also swear by Soundspeed and they are a bunch of ing crooks.
