Rick actually paid me a significant amount back out of his own pocket which he never had to do in the first place because Paul was at fault, but he did it because of his kind nature. So I'd like to remind everyone that Rick is doing the best he can and i sympathize greatly for him. Hard doing business with someone like Paul so i feel for him. You can post what you would like buddy! But this is a Paul issue, Rick and Jerry have gone above and beyond for me and trust me what Rick gave me back wasnt penny change.

I must say this, though, I don't agree about Rick. Rick was always helpful and tried to organize and do well for everyone. It's unfortunate his name is being dragged into this.


Hope things worked out for you, OP. Sorry to hear about your situation.

I have never met Rick but Stass at IPS says he's a good guy so I will believe that until I see otherwise.

To all of you that PMd me about the IPS situation.......you now see what I am talking about. To think this guy is actually trying, and I use the word "trying" loosely, to make a turbo kit for the E55! If EC knew what was good, they would pull their name off that shop as fast as possible! Nothing good can come out of it and I would be surprised if Jerry and Jake hang in much longer. The sad thing is that his business partner is a good guy, shows to be very careful who you go into business with. Especially when you live in Ohio and your business and your partner are in DC. The thread was coming since the day he opened. Actually since the day he decided to try and smear IPS when the facts were facts, the turbo kit was done but Paul couldn't pay for it! Well that turbo kit is actually being installed by a great shop on a E55 as we all type. Stand by!

I have met him, personally, and spoke to him. He is not involved in any of this and like I told him, he actually kept it all together when people were getting pissy and wanting to leave without getting tunes or anything done that day.
His name should definitely be left out of this.

MaroonC63- please edit your post where you quoted my initial post that had Rick's name in it, I did not mean to say his name. thank you.

Keep it to cars please.

People have issues with shops all the time honestly and yes people should be warned to a certain extent. I personally been to the shop and got work to my POS AMG. I have had no problems whatsoever, besides my break sensor keeps breaking but that's cause of my stupidity. I personally have pics of the C63 being wrapped as my car was being worked on that day. I honestly saw the car being wrapped and simply fell in LOVE with the color and the workmanship Paul put behind it. Word around Georgetown (DC) is the C63 was slammed to the ground and hit a nasty pothole, which is why his clamps fell off. A 5 year old can tell if a clamp is loose before he drives off the shop floor. I feel bad for all the people to had bad experiences, but there have been MANY good ones in return.

Remember, for 1 bad review, spreads to 1000 people. For every good review, only gets to 10 people.

So, lets correct a few things 21* year old making his own money spending it on the car he bought HIMSELF, for starters. Two, my car was not on kw before the header incident and it failed on 66, greatly maintained road for your information so no pothole was hit, it happened on a downshift from fifth to fourth gear. three i have an email clearly stating he can professionaly wrap cars and hes done it before, come to find out its the first car hes ever wrapped. I stated Paul's wife was the genius behind the emails, because they were very professional unlike Paul's, she knows her stuff and shows it, thats a compliment if anything and thats how they got me. If i went through the hassle of posting texts and emails, you'd tuck your tail between your legs because no one has ever been as courteous or as nice as i have to Paul i gave him all the time in the world and got him coffee and food and after 16 days of my car being in the same exact state, after my father went in himself to see what was taking so long, i received it with Knicks and cuts and a mediocre wrap job that cost 3000$. I stated firmly to him i found other cheaper places but i wanted to get what i paid for. I skimmed over the wrap experience, but headers? Two days to install headers? Giving it back to me claiming it was tuned and letting me drive a couple hundred+ miles not knowing because i had faith in him? Sorry buddy, but you can sit down, because my bad review brought out a ton of people who have had bad experiences and held their tongue, the guys who's differentials are failing, a guy whos car got given back with 3k miles that Paul personally put on the car himself, or how about how Paul offered me ANOTHER customers car to take home because he didnt finish my car after countless promises of "itll be done today" and me driving out an hour only to go back home empty handed after finding countless rides. Youre probably the same kid Paul told to call me and beg me to not ask for my money back. So far ive only heard you and maybe two members having an "okay" experience. Doesnt take a genius to service a car buddy, a lot of people had actual intensive work done to their cars and were left with a big fat bill of repairs. Get your facts straight.

First class operation. I just went back and had my Cayenne S tuned. As a repeat customer they took good care of me for sure. Eurocharged is a quality name brand and product I certainly hope this is loser gets dumped by them soon.

When safety becomes an issue because of a shops work, "ok" doesnt cut it after that! Honestly, you can hit up RRT, expensive but you get what you pay for and more! Cant wait to see the beast finished up bro!


Half owner i believe, they have two other mechanics that works there, one i know personally, knowledgeable but to be honest wouldnt trust him with my car lol the other is allergic to staying past 5 lol hes out the door by then no matter what. Paul is NO mechanic, but he does a lot of the work lol and still takes centuries for simple jobs with all the shortcuts he takes.

Honestly, i was never going to say anything, but i heard some stories that pretty much made my heart break, and no one wanted to speak up because these guys took Paul out invited him to their houses etc and he messed up their cars. God knows what he'll do to peoples cars that he doesnt know, so it was time to speak up.

Here you go.

Sure every shop is going to have some unhappy customers, but they have done a great job on the car's I have and when ever there is a problem, Paul will check everything to make sure things are okay. And if there is something that isnt fixed he will take extra time into the weekend to fix them without changing me extra.

He has even worked weekends and dropped my cars off on his time when I'm busy to my home. Other fourm members like Black Benz used the shop for that custom dyno tuning which ran the low 10 or djrabbi who gets his service done their sell alot of stuff on the forum which is known as a reputable seller and I'm sure he can vouch too.

I can understand if they didn't pay up for whatever reason, then I'd be pretty pissed too but that's not the case.

If they didn't pay you then yeah I'd rant all day long, but dude you got paid and your still complaining about him and you brought his family into this seriously wtf?!?!

It's because people like you that come defend shady vendors that people end up getting screwed (like I got screwed by Brue @ TTM). Shut it up.
