Greetings,

I wanted to take a second to let everyone know about an incredible experience I just had. This may seem silly but it started as one helluva annoying experience...

I had a shop in Tampa, Racing Zone, do some work on my vehicle a little over a year ago. Not only was the service bad, but I was mislead (told some wheels weren't made anymore), mistreated, overcharged, and all around disgusted with the service and the sales assoc, Mike, in particular. Since I have spoken to many who had similar experiences.

A week after getting my rims, I lost a wheel-cap. Called the guy who took my almost $5k for work done and to this day he has not ordered a new cap. Several calls went un-returned- still no word.

I am embarassed to say that I only went to this shop out of convenience as the other I had found was about A 35 minute drive. (i know i am lazy)

Today I called, Marlon, at German Autohaus in Tampa- not only did he try talking me into not replacing a factory part for something more expensive (Lorinser Bumper) but even after I told him I may go with a factory replacement from the dealership- he calls me 5 minutes later letting me know my wheel cap is on its way.

Can I say refreshing? The guy's work is incredible- does paint work for two benz dealerhips as well as countless athletes. Honest, fair prices, and a perfectionist. If anyone is near the Tampa area, I strongly suggest calling him. 813.885.7911 Well, I won't be going with factory parts. Stay tuned as I am having Marlon "refresh" my 55... Will post photos!!

btw Before anyone thinks this is an advertisement, I have no affiliation with this shop whatsoever. I have been on this forum for several years and have never given this type of endorsement!!

 

Benzo,It is good to hear that fair and honest people are still in the world.
