I admit I was an ass but what do you expect me to do CC has been nothing but strait excellent to me and my car and I will not let someone just start talking a bunch shit about them with no proof that they ever even did the work. Again I tried saying this earlier. If CCdid the work a gaurentee it was either miss communication or lack of fundsto ahve the work done properly. I we all believed one sided stories about shops theywould all beout of business. ie: all the stories about vertex stealing wheels obviously not true but one person said it and it spread. Talking crap about someones business is not a joke like talking about someones car s unlss you have some real proof its best not to open your mouth.

The Header we found out was ordered by the Master Tech for a 1.8L, The mounts for a 1.8L, Thermo housing off of a 1.8L....
Motor was sitting in the shop 2.0 L before parts ordered.
So yes I understand all about fabrication etc.... BUT!!!!!!!!!!!
To fab these parts that were order for a different motor and charge someone for your mistake...I think NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There F@#$# up not the kids.

EDIt: Oh shit, I just noticed, they charged the kid 4.5% tax on the SHIPPING charge!!! Not only that, you are supposed to only charge tax on materials, not labor.

I could see if the motor was in the car and he had to pull the timing belt off, etc., but with the motor sitting on the ground??? Come on...they should be ashamed of themselves for pulling this kind of stunt.

Re: PICS OF local company CCI hacked his car
WOW, I read all 7 pages and this CCI company sounds like a place full of worthless bastards. A grand for a header? This is on a 4 cyl. motor right? Which means 4 primaries. The owner really got ass raped on this one, he should have done more homework or maybe did it himself with a few buddies and a cherry picker. As for Smut Peddler, you are a dumbass for thinking those prices are ok. This is clearly a matter for the better business bureau.

Re: PICS OF local company CCI hacked his car
Here are a few pictures of work that Chris Reid has performed on me and a few of my friends cars. As you can see, the work is nothing short of excellent. Pictures speak one thousand words. Look at the welding/wiring.

Look at the weld.
(I cut the bumper, couldn't get intercooler to fit, and the bottom row was smashed up. The previouis owner of the intercooler had the end tanks capped- but chris redid the end tanks and made them flush with the bottom row. In other words He remanufactured the intercooler and it works great.)
Here are the brackets he fabbed for me
The pictures don't lie....the cars run excellent
