Message	Ok, so my buddy took his car there and had some work done. He had them rebuild his turbo's, rebuild his heads, new clutch, new harness. He brought me the car after he got it back from Richards's Performance. Long story short, lot's of drama just to get the car back. I see the car, nasty exhaust leak, smokin' like crazy exhaust. I agreed to check out his car, he show's me a warranty thing from Richard's performance, then I asked what is he gonna warranty ?? But check this out oil from turbo, tb also very oily missing ptu screws look at the hoses, nasty !! silicone gaskets ?? check out the rebuild on those turbo's, less than 10 miles on them !! also looks like he reused them exhaust gaskets from the turbo's leaking already, what warranty ?? look at the butt connector for the starter signal, you won't ever get a core refund This is a horror story !! But I hope there will be a happy end !! BTW the lugs were not even tight when I took off the wheels, stripped screws everywhere, missing driveshaft spacers at the center bearing, etc, etc, You have been WARNED !!
