Trust me when i say the guys at ams will bend over backwards to help you out as much as possible, and it is for this reason that even after all my mishaps, i still take my car to AMS.
I highly doubt you have been in my situation, just my .02. But by me getting on a public board and letting everyone else know of my situation is good. As I feel that all everyone ever seems to hear about is all the positive from shops. But what about the negative? What about their customer service? How they go about handling the situation to keep that customer retention. Now that is what makes a shop. I find it funny that when anyone gets on the forum and post anything negative about a shop they get slammed, why? Just as the shops do good business don’t we have a right to know about the bad? No one is getting on here and saying AMS is at fault....I just posted it because YES I am frustrated on not being able to even drive my car normal without the fear of it blowing up. Is that wrong? I’m sure they will do what they can and we will see.

I'm kinda jumping the gun in saying this but I'm VERY disapointed in the quality and reliabilty I have recived beings my car has been up to AMS over 3 times since the motor was built from them last November not to mention I have had to pay the towing bill there and back out of my pocket. I would like a phone call ASAP reguarding this matter.. To set up arrangements on it being shipped back up there to get warrenty work done. I really hope we can resolve this in a professional matter as I feel after the last trip when some of my parts where lost and turbo was blown up I was more then understanding on accepting the replacement parts. And yes the the turbo was repaired to new standard.
You've already blown this part by posting this thread.

Trust me when i say my car was "cursed" too it may still be cursed( but thats me breaking stuff), if you want i can send you a pm if you want to hear about it. There is nothing wrong with posting negative experiences if the situation justifies posting them. Say if it was the shops fault and they give you the finger afterwards then yes please post and rant, i want to hear this so i wont go to that shop either! But having you car stop working, and then ranting and demanding that they call you, and pay for it to get fixed when you havent even talked to them let alone know what caused/ is the problem, thats not cool either and thats what its seems that you are implying with this post. If it were my shop i would hate such negative comments on such a popular forum with out knowing what is wrong/ or hearing from the customer first.

Hmmmm, interesting. Def keep everyone informed. My guess is that AMS will take care of you. Any business I have done with them has been professional!

I am not demanding them to pay for it. And the phone call I have already discussed this with ERIC via PM's. As maybe I shouldn’t have said I except a phone call, but you have no idea what I have went through financially and relationship wise with this car. I have a right to be upset and I have the right to "freedom of speech". Nothing degrading has been said from me regarding AMS. I am done defending my post to your statements.

i do feel your pain, and i also did a huge build too back in 06, and was plagued with tons of problems for well over a year too. You do have every right to be upset, the way edited your post, nothing wrong with it, but earlier you posted one thing and then contradicted yourself in a later post.

Good you are writing this up just as info and not bashing a shop. Bad things happen whenyou have a busy shop working on multiple cars people working behind other people etc etc.. it just happens everywhere. Sorry you have had such a hard time with it but this needs to be closed and handled thru pms brotha

Yes I understand....it sucks that you have to worry about people doing that because that is not what Im trying to do. If they wish to close it then that is there decision. And I will come back on at a later time and let everyone know how this issue was handled.
