brian has done several customs exhausts for myself.. including 3in with my downpipe back to a stock looking 3in muffler on my 97 civic. he did exhaust work on my crx and exhaust work on my gsr for me.. he is known as the "exhaust man" around here.. hopefully one day things will go back to the way they use to be.. untill then ill just have to save money and get all bolt up shit for now..

 

i go to the big als on arrowhead all the time, they have good service, is this the one that was bought out? if that's the case, that sucks and probably wont go there anymore

 

Ive gone there for my CRX to get and exhaust on. My civic for 2.5 cat back piping. Both RX-7's for 3in straight pipes. And was about to be going up there for the 240sx downpipe and intercooler piping..

looks like im buying the boost designs piping kit and a full exhaust pre-made

 

Heh, I know what you mean gear. Anyone who works for Hall would.

 

shitty man . .shitty .

 

Big Al's Sucks now. i went to Oceana Muffler and Brakes in Virginia Beach and they were great. kinda high but not to bad and do quike GOOD work. 422-0944.

 

Gear... and everyone else...

I'm also a Big Al's Employee and their best exhaust tech outta all the stores... And I have a few disputes with what you've said...
First I am not supporting the management at all... The higher ups anywayz... Bobby is a great exhaust tech, and manager... (Plus he drives a racecar and has engine work hook ups for me...)... But the management has a set way to run their shit...

First and foremost.. Your store was sold to corporate becuase they were runnin business fucked up and there were way to many complaints... I've had to personally fix many fuck ups from that store... And the store was makin 25% of what it was supposed to be... 25% thats ridiculous... Especially for yall's location... You should be rakin in the money...

As far as pricing goes I do not support rippin people off even a little bit... Matter of fact.. Bobby is now the perm. manager at my store, on little creek... Thats because not only was the previous manager ripping customers of severely... He stole tthousands of dollars from the company... So when I had solid proof.. I pulled the flag on his ass and he's no longet there... Some of the managers pricin is fucked up... Like Wayne's, John D., Reggy and a couple others... I just recommend to stay away from them stores...

As far as the checklist goes... Why you bitchin?... That covers your ass... If there is anything else wrong it's recorded... So that way when the customer leaves after gettin there brakes fixed, and comes back the next day complaining of noise... and it's because of a wheel bearing, and you forgot to tell them, the customer says "it's your fault its messed up" or "it wasn't doin that before"... But with the paper.. It's wrote down that they need brakes, they have a bad wheel bearing, need a cv axle and the front struts are goin out... But all they can afford is brakes, as long as they know about the other stuff.... Or when a car comes in with a scrap/dent... And you don't mark it on the page, then the customer decides to be a dick and says you put it there.. How you gonna defend that... that is why there is the check sheet...

I have many complaints about big al's... But for the most part... We have the Best prices around... And we're better than alot of shops out there..

 

BTW... Come see me at Big Al's on little creek... Come to the last bay by the fence and talk to me before you go to the manager... Say your from drag, and I'll see what I can do about pricin...

I can also do custom things.. like duals... I could also speak with my manager about custom turbo piping too... So come in and see me...
