*latest update*

so of course, my car wasn't ready when it was supposed to be last week. the guy claimed my clutch slave cylinder was bad, and he had to remove the transmission in order to replace it. i've never heard of having to remove the transmission for a slave cylinder, but i'm pretty sure that was an excuse for time. so i finally go up there today (6/17) with intentions on just going to get my car...finished or not. the car was running, but the new top still hadn't been replaced and the tail light. the owner told me he was on his was now to get the top installed and it'll be ready in the morning. naturally, i wanted to see how the car ran. i got in the car, it ran beautifully (finally get to hear my fabspeed system-from headers on back). i noticed all of this stuff all over the carpet that looked like grease/dirt maybe from the shop floor. i picked up a piece...and realized...IT WAS RAT ********************! my car was literally full of rat ********************....EVERYWHERE. smeared into the carpet and mats, in the map pockets on the doors....EVERYWHERE! this shop is the biggest joke i've ever seen in my life.

god, this is one of the worst stories i've heard about them. they have an AWFUL reputation since the old owner split a couple of years ago. wendt has several criminal procedings against him for this kind of crap. take your car to jim ellis or something to find out if the motor is actually a factory reman. one of the things these guys have been accused of is installing used parts as new.

sorry this happened to you. if you ever have any other trouble, PM me here FIRST and i'll point you in the right direction.

I hope you know a lawyer that can write a letter to the shop for you to let them know you mean business.

Woah. sad to hear your story.. to be honest with you, if this was my car, I would had it out of there a long time ago, I don't want anyone that I need to argue with to touch my baby. Good luck and I hope you'll end up with a mint car
