Default there is a guy you may all know him by the name Angel and he is quite the S4 angel...

I brought Angel up because he as good as you can get on S4 - he really is. He has dropped my motor; changed my cams to RS4 cams; changed all my plumbing to RS4, fuel, intake etc, and changed my turbos in 12 hours. DONE in 1 day. He is also the guy whom has taken 5 weeks to do my clutch. $hit happens sometimes and we go on...

when you are dealing with these cars; once you turn it into the tech to get an upgrade, i know it is almost impossible to wait to get it back because you want the damn thing back... and I've raised hell sooo many times at the Audi dealerships .. mostly so that I could get a nicer loaner etc.. and I knew that the Audi dealership was getting paid premium $$ to fix my car...

but when you are doing aftermarket work, especially with some used parts etc... it may take a bit longer.. and it usually does. Really - it does. Especially when you are not paying 20+ hours of labor for a turbo job..

Keep Mikey on your side.. he's done lots for you and we all just want to get along...

Cheers

Default Ari, listen to this...

I called Mike during the week to do my car and explained to him that I would have it towed to him on HIS time whenever he had some free time. I told him it would sit in MY garage until he was good and ready and had a few days set aside for MY car. He called me on a sunday, I brought it to him first thing Monday morning (100 mile tow trip). I was giving him the utmost respect, exactly what he wanted to be paid (800 upfront) and I still was put on the back burner. My car SAT there for over a month while he "diagonsed it" but you were there when you did the work, and the labor took one day, the same day that I came to pick it up, where I sat for over an hour and waited/helped you guys. Regardless he took more money and I still had to wait over a month for something that I brought to him on HIS terms.

All this for Timing Belt and IC install?

Default Ryan .. I am not sure about all the timing of things... but I think this was 2-3 maybe 4 months ago.

So what happened now ? We've all been upset and/or disappointed at times... enjoy your car and lets move on and kill some more vettes...

Default Ari, you were always cool to deal with, I am surprised you put up with this ****...

well at least you did for a while, not sure if you split up with WMS or what. The reason I went there was to give Mike another chance and he screwed it up again. He ensured me that it would be done professionally, clean and timely. All three of those were false. Truly a great way to treat a "close friend" or so he calls me. Maybe that was him "hooking me up"
