American Motorsports a cautionary tale

THey also use .250 (1/4") wall on those sleeves, pretty beefy.

 

beat me to it.

 

Subd,

 

Also .250 wall wrapped with 1/8"



This is fucked up guys I can't believe some of this shit

 

I'll post my experiences here once I find more time and am not at work. Subbed.

 

Holy Shit.

 

Was wondering how you felt about him. Tell us a cool story bro.

 

I hope those of you who are owed money, can recoup something at least. When I had hem do wirk on my truck, he couldn't afford a new chop saw blade. Pretty sure hes piss broke somehow.

 

to top it all off, he bragged about making $100k last year.

 

Has anyone asked bandwagon about this? I am sure he has something to say.

 

I hope he did, that means he should have some money to pay out to you poor bastards. I just see him any money since he was barely able to pay the rest on his shop when I was up there last.

 

subd

 

Def subbed for this one

 

My phone number is on my website. If anuone has any concerns feel free to call me. My doors are open 6 days a week. If there any problems feel free to call. Brian 760-802-0010 brian@american-motorsports.net

 

Can you explain yourself a little bit maybe?

 

so posting pictures of my truck with the imperfections you made and i have to pay someone else to fix, answers anything? yea call his # so he can give you excuses to what really happened. go ahead brian, say anything i typed is wrong, hearsay or conjecture. make right and pay those you owe money to. and pictures of the defects will be posted in the next few days. the truck is currently with a trusted mechanic fixing unsafe brake issues.

 

Who's supposed to call you other than the people you apparently screwed?
And it seems you've already given them your answer to their concerns.

 

Not much into the popcorn guy but I am for this. From Ohio, but I had dealings with AMS when I delt with Stupid Hurts and buying his old MT kit. I know a few of the other names who've been watching this thread a lot also, Anthony250 gave me a lot of great advice on my coils.

(I paid SH for his MT kit while it was still on his truck and AMS was building SHs LT kit. Brian rebuilt the SAW coils and pressed new uniballs into the UCAs I bought from SH. I know Steven might have a couple things to say, but he can tell it, I know personally of 1 pretty crappy incident.)

$1300+ of of my money I'm sure ended up in his hands. It went to SH, who then I would assume turned around and used it to help pay for his LT.

Not big on bashin' the dude, but bad business is bad business, and if it's really been going on, own up to it, face it and folks will have a lot more respect. Let it spiral and a bad name sticks.

 

I am here and not going anywhere. Where do I start. NSF250 His window got broken in the shop and it was replaced, the window company put in the wrong window and I made sure they replaced it with the correct new window. On issue was getting the guy to get to chris work to fix his mistake. Chris started with a 12.50 wide tire and went to a 13.50 tire after the work was done. not much I can do there. Drive shaft shop built a driveshaft without setting the pinion angle. Took the driveshaft back and got that issue fixed. Had some issues with drive line vibrations and redid the leaf spring mounts and corrected the issue. Talked with chris last time he was here and told him I would make new tabs to move his shocks in more so his tires wouldnt rub. I was told it was okay and that he was planning a 4link in the future. When you put a deposit down on a kit material is ordered parts are purchased, water jetting and bend fees paid. Your deposit pays for your kit you wanted. Greg truck was here for a long time I was building a prototype kit for the 1st gen tacomas/4runners. My fault on that but i needed to make sure it worked well before I just get his truck out the door. It is untested but thats why you got a deal was to test it and give me feed back. I sold him a front kit, front bumper, rear bumper, shock hoops, rear spring install, rear shock hoops, front fiberglass install and bumpstop install for the rear for 5000. I went with the 2nd gen front hubs up front for easy replacement. A 300 increase to his bill. So im required to buy your old parts to lower your bill. Sorry wasnt in need of your parts. The brake issues you found I replaced them right then and there. We bleed your brakes together many times while you were here and 5 times before you showed up. With a pneumatic brake bleeder, old school pump the brakes, and a top fill brake resisivor pressure feeder. only thing I added was 30 in of ORW brake lines. Didnt touch the rear. Only conclussion I came up with was your boost wasnt working properly. Bring your truck back Ill cut the rear bumper off and make you a new one. Anyone that has a problem can bring there truck back and I always make things right. Stupid hurts truck was at my shop a long time too. He got the prototype kit for the 5 lugs. I do take along time to build prototype kits because I do spend a lot of time making sure there isnt any issues. I did apologize for the delay.I have to bill customers when they call and request changes to there project. I dont work for free and I do have to additional charges. Quaker you bought stupd hurts parts and there were shipped as soon as his kit was done. You just had to wait till they were off. Sorry for the delay. I work 6 days a week im at my shop 8-10 hrs a day. Feel free to come by or call i have nothing to hide. You have a right to say whatever youd like about your experience and how bad it was, my fault and i have things i have to improve on. Im not upset either. My door is always open and you can come by, call me, email me, I am busy and I dont sit on my computer answer emails or sit next to the phone waiting for the next call, so leave a message or send that email I will get back to you asap.
