Yo peeps you missed a great time yesterday with Jen, Ryan and one of their friends. I apologize I can't remember your friends name LOL!!! The weather was so awesome....NOT! Ryan and his friend were amazing as they just powered through and disassemble the interior of my car, installed the roll bar and then put it back together again. Jen and I got the pleasure of armchair quarterbacking and adding an extra set of hands as the muscle completed the work.

I can't say how much I appreciate Jen and Ryan for their friendship an commitment to me. I look forward to seeing Jen's souped up Mini once Ryan gets around to actually working on her car.

Looking forward to the next time!!!!

JENZ · 02-23-2015, 10:04 PM

Lol!!!!! You're the best Bob!

Just got back to vegas!! Deciding if I should have paladin or Tony at fast intentions do my long tube headers install. What do you guys think would you trust paladin?

Infamous · 03-08-2015, 03:04 AM

Uehara MotoWerks is who I trust

Hotrodz · 03-08-2015, 09:22 PM

I have had work done at Paladin with no issues or concerns so you have a couple of good choices.

James10694 · 03-08-2015, 11:43 PM

I'll have to give them a call and see if they have done headers for a vq. Thanks for the input guys

I wouldn't trust Paladin... I had them swap my stock door handles for a color matched set. I told them 10000x that I needed to send back my stock handles for a core swap and they needed to be perfect. What'd they do? Completely mangled both of them. I gave them my new handles in a nice big box with bubble wrap and they gave my stock handles back just thrown in a random shoe box with no protection.

Also when they quoted me the price for the job I told them they needed to give me an exact figure as I had lost my debit card and was waiting on a replacement so I would be paying in cash. I even called them before i picked up my car to confirm the price when I was at the bank getting cash. Sure enough I showed up and they tried to gouge me for an extra 100 bucks because it "was a hard job" and "took longer than we thought." I told them thats cool but your problem I only brought as much cash as YOU TOLD ME. They then proceeded to threaten me with a mechanics lien and I got a bunch of ugly text messages from Eric's wife threatening all sorts of stuff and cursing at me. It was only when I threatened to take them to small claims court over the principle and harassment and also destroy their online reputation (yelp, BBB, etc) that they stopped blowing up my phone for more money they weren't owed.

I've never told the story before because I kept my promise not to bad mouth them but I still have the texts on my phone from the wife.. After going back and reading them it pissed me off to the point that I at least had to share with you guys. This shop is the reason why I don't trust ANY Vegas shops. Stay away from Paladin unless you get their price quote in writing and don't mind having your stock parts mangled and don't care about being gouged on price and threatened after the fact.

On a side note....... Anyone want to help me install my K&N short ram intakes? I literally own zero tools (got most stolen a few years back and never bothered to replace). I can pay in beer or dollars, whatever is preferred.

If you come when it's convenient for us my husband can do it. Just kick him back $30.

I never took my old z to them but did to mike who used to co-own them. Even he screwed up my install. We didn't figure it out until we parted out my car... They never put back the end links to the rear sway. I tracked my car like that!!!!! :/

That could have been the sounds and creaks the suspension was making. I took my car to force fed racing, a honda shop. They did everything just fine with the exception of extending my O2 sensors for the headers install. Those were miswired and melted from the heat. I'm pretty sure after my car, they would charge $800+ and may not rewire it correctly.
