Shops can't install parts you ordered?

Business Kat · 01-15-2015, 12:30 AM

I don't know if it's a texas thing but I just ordered a south bend stage 3 clutch kit and all the shops around me are saying they can't do the install because they didn't order it so they would be liable for blah blah blah. So basically I have a dying clutch and nobody to install the new one.

Back in LA the shop I went to did whatever I wanted them too. Didn't matter who ordered what part. Z clinic is a little bit far for me. I'm in south austin, but if anyone knows a place that likes to make money and work on cars, like a normal business would, feel free to chime in as well

I think member Chuck33079 offers install services out of his shop. He's in houston. Send him a pm and see if he's willing to help you out
HOU: Screaming deals on some used parts

Sorry Kat, I tried

There's a big colorful racetrack in Austin and you are saying no one can do it for you? If all else fails, use the Yellow Pages.

No, Kat needs to go to a place with the name Jose, or Pancho in it.

They'll install whatever.

Kat, just to make sure... You have a replacement CSC too for install right?

axmea? · 01-15-2015, 02:20 AM

Forget the yellow pages, i was just kidding. Not even sure if people know what that it. Anyway, lots of members in Austin should be able to refer you Kat.

UPREV is in Austin. That is where I had my first clutch installed at.
