Im tired of all the bashing of PRUVEN when someone breaks there car !!!the only cars i have seen break are what I CALL SHOP HO'S that go from one shop to another looking for better deals!!stick with one shop and thay will know the car inside and out,and you know what i bet you wont break so often
The other ones i see break are the ones that need too learn how too drive and not miss shift and over rev there cars." (wheres that gear i know its here somewhere ohh hell this one will work .BOOOOOOM!!!!) ".

Hi all,

For any interested in this comment made by boostnaliljuice, I will elaborate on this situtuation quickly with to the piont facts.

1. He brought the car here last year for a nitrous install. He was told don't spray it untill it gets tuned. We could not tune it that day when we finished the install because it was 10 pm. He sprayed it anyway. Melted the pistons.

2. He brought the car here for a motor rebuild after the nitrous meltdown. We built it. He drove around for 6 months.

3. He came back to install an HKS turbo kit. We installed it.

4. He went to different tuner (which I won't mention) to tune in the new turbo kit (don't know why) with an AEM. His tuner blew his head gasket and we later found out he also had melted pistons.

5. We rebuilt his motor again. He drove for 1200 miles. He went to a different tuner ( won't mention a name again) and his car made a great amount of HP for pump gas. Later that day he hurts the motor while he admits he was racing and miss-shifting.

6. He calls the shop to explain the problem and is told to tow it down so we can check it out. He asks if it will cost him anything to fix it. I told him before I warrenty anything we have to see what caused the problem. He never shows up, his car ends up at a different shop, and he cancels his check (by the way we normally don't take checks, but becuase he was a repeat customer and seemed like an honest guy we took it anyway, too bad that was illegal).

7. Now he comes on here and trys to ruin my business with lies and take money from my shop.

Ladies and Gentlemen, thoses are the facts. Take it for what you want, but I just had to put the facts out there. I just don't understand how he could even post those type of things on here with out letting us check out his car. Now we will never know what happened to his motor. Also, he couldn't have been that unhappy with us as he kept bringing his car here for various things including rebuilding his first motor which he had no problems with when we tuned it. We take pride in our work and we take care of all our customers.

I will say we are not the shop to bring your car to if you want it done very fast, only if you want it done very right. We have only a couple of techs here that can do the job properly and we generally have a waiting list, just because your car breaks today dosn't mean we will be working on it tomorrow. We do it right or not at all. Well I starting to go into a rant off subject, so if anyone has any questions about this situation please feel free to ask. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Take care all,
Dan @ Pruven Performance
