Evosport, not sendig my items
Hi everyone!
Does anybody know anything about Evosport??
I have ordered and payed my items 20th of december 2012 and still havent recieved anything. My order contained the following items:
- Evosport brake rotor set for a CLK63, 360mm fronts and 330mm rear
- brake line set
- porterfield brake pads
- front and rear sway bar for a slk32 amg
- titanium shims set
The total order value is about 3200usd. I have had over 100 mail conversations with them about why the order was delayed but always got different answers. The people that I have been in contact with is Jose and Simon.
Jose dont seem to be in the company anymore. They have always answered my mails and the phone but the last 3 weeks I havent heard anything from them.
Does anybody here on the forum live near Evosport? Or does anybody here know anything about them? Have they closed down there business? Have I lost my money?
I would be greatful if somebody could help me out. To bad that I live in Sweden.
Thanks in advance

I sent a random email to them asking if they are still in business and got an email response from Simon on May 27th.

If you paid using a credit card, you should look into filing a charge back as soon as possible.

Buy a ticket and get your @ss to their office, print out the 100s of emails, credit card statement, order statement. call the cops and record the whole thing.
then take them to court.

I went to their office not too long ago... they didn't take me up on my build for whatever reason but they did show me around their impressively huge garage. Even let me toy around with a EVOsport labeled McLaren. On the surface seemed ok...
On another note, absurd wait time for custom builds are part of the game. TRUST... Last time I was involved in a build, I just bought another car.
To the OP, I live near Evosport. Want me to go knock on the door Lol

Evosport was locked out of their shop, I presume due to nonpayment of monthly rent. I know this because Simon helped me get my car out of the shop last week and he's getting my parts out this week. Unfortunately, the shop was recently robbed and some of my parts are missing!! ..along with the money Evosport owes me. 
Initially, Evosport didn't advise me of the lockout situation or of the robbery and that just frustrates me even more. I had to contact them. Not to mention, it looks like I'm going to have to pay a third party directly to get my engine parts back since Evosport is not paying their bills even though I paid them in advance.
If they owe you money I suggest you file a claim and know that you're going to have to wait in line..

Havoc- son of a ***** I hate to hear that. I followed your first build before I decided to get into MBs and now this again!?! If I could afford to I would build you an MID long block for free.. You deserve it for all the haymakers to the chin you've taken from these flaky companies. I'm so sorry!
On topic.. I myself ordered a set of 2 piece 390/330 rotors from them for my E back in early January I think. The fronts shipped in a week or so, they fit perfect and I was very happy with them, but the rears I only just got back in the third week of April. They did eventually ship everything I paid for though!
What is the word? Are they shutting down? Moving to a smaller shop?

Yes, this is VRP all over again. Victor stopped talking to me then Vadim got locked out of his shop. Now Brad stopped talking with me and Simon was locked out. I'm hoping the 3rd time or vendor in this case is the charm! My SL55 is now in San Diego with ACG and I'm confident they can turn my build around.
I'm not sure nor do I care at this point WTF Evosport does. Only the owners know what they can and can't do. Simon last mention that he was unaware of the direction they will take weather to close business or move to a smaller shop.
My HRE wheels, 82mm TB, and upgraded fuel rail with larger injectors are missing and considered stolen at this point. Looks like an Evosport employee is as shady as the owners!!
All The Havoc knows is that he's still making money and tons of it unlike Evosport and that he still has the drive to make his SL55 one powerful Beast!!

I thought Brad left Evosport? Didn't even realize Vadim runs his own shop now. Crazy how time flies.

You have unbelievable drive to keep going with your SL build - kudos.
I seem to remember you posting some time ago that you had dropped a fair bit of money into the Evosport build. Hope you get something back from it.

I'm sorry to hear about this order...
If you'd like some help I currently have one complete set of CLK63 Black Series rotors in stock, along with porterfield pads and lines.
Let me know if you want me to get this order going for you.

If he does purchase a set, I will check on the rears on monday for you. Payment will not be required until the items are literally ready to ship. Pads are always in stock, both Endless and Porterfield.
Have a good weekend.

I believe they grew too fast. My guess is that after they bought their own building, it likely cost more than anticipated which used up their free cash.
Once you get behind you never catch up and when other players came into the market, the customer base dropped putting further strain on cash flow.

I was fed false promises by the owners for over 3 years that I would be taken care of and now the only one taken is me taking them to court!!
And to top it off I paid the same employee's payroll that sole my parts!!
Thanks a lot Evosport!!

Sorry to hear about your problems.
