I just want my car back.

Does anyone on this forum know anyone from RPM (Real Power Motorsports) in Pensacola/Gulf Breeze Florida?

I dropped my 06 Evo of to them to have some work done while I went on a 5 week trip. I came back on Monday and haven't been able to reach them, their shop is closed and no one will answer a phone. My car is sitting inside there shop, which, obviously is all locked up.

If anyone knows anybody with anything to do with the shop please pm mean and let me know. I'm getting fairly desperate. That car is my only set of wheels....

Have you tried emailing them?

Any idea why the shop is closed?

Not really. They moved shop locations, and their voicemail says they will be open for business Sept 20. I'm fairly sure it is after that. As for email. I don't know. They don't have a website I've been able to find, or email. But I've been by their shop. No one is there.

Geez man, this sucks! Have you contacted the authorities to see what your options are? I know that's a bit extreme, but if I were you, I'd be freaking out too.

No I haven't done that. But as time goes by I'm starting to see that as option. I don't really know what else I can do...

Reputable shop? I thought that they were the reputable shop in the area. You have any recommendations?

Call the state office and get information about the company. They can tell you if they are still in business, closed or relocating. Also alert your insurance company about the issue and see if they can help out.

Use your resources and be pro-active, so you reduce the risk of having to pay in a bad way.

What kind of shop doesn't have a website?

If thats the case then I would say, no, they are not a reputable shop and you should not do business with them.
