dont let johhny work on your car
if his own personal car is any indication on how he works on others cars, then i cant believe how he screws everyone over. tonight going down preston my car starts drifting at random left and right, and just a few seconds later my car starts shaking like a mother****er and sparks start flying. after a few minutes of cursing (maybe 15) i put a jack underneather the drivers side of the car only to find that somehow i have no bolts holding the strut to the brake hub on the car. i go back a few hundred feet and find my missing connecting bolt lying in traffic. i cant believe how someone could be so retarded as to hold the strut to the hub with only one bolt, but not only that, is to never tell me about it, or ever think hmm maybe this isnt a good idea. now my control arm is completely bent and my car drifts to the left hardcore. (not to mention how the car dragged bumper first in traffic) this is one of the big things ontop of the small. when i traded with johhny i left absolutely nothing out in the description of my car, and when i went to trade with johhny all of a sudden oops i forgot i lost the rear seatbelts and i lost the locking mechanism, and whoops i forgot to tell you how i have a junkyard door on it, and oops i forgot to tell you how they did a shity as job painting the trunk, and painting the bottom of the quarter panels, and to somehow think i wouldnt notice how i have 3 racing hart wheels and 1 knock off. he even tried to sell them on ebay as a set of 4 real racing harts.
i shutter to think of the half assed job he has done on my eclipse

Rep Power: 0 i hate that had to happen to someone else...i had him do my drop, squeked like hell so i made him keep coming to fix it. always put it off and would never just do it and fix it. for a man "who stands behind his work" ( a direct quote from the man himself) i did not get any bit of that on my install from him. i finally got tired of waiting for him to come and fix it and paid to have it done only to find out he stripped both of my rear struts and had to replace those. a cheap job from someone who claimed he had done it a 100 times and knew what he was doing ended up costing me about 500 bucks by the time it was all said and done. as far i know there is someone else on here that had a experience with him...NIKO speak up he did cut your abs line and you know he did so go ahead and tell your story...as far as i am concerned i am glad he moved back to jersey that way i dont have to worry about something else getting f'ed up by him...i would love to just b!tch slam that mother ****** because that is what he deserves
by the way now that i have paid to get it done correctly...i have not had a single problem at all, no popping, no pulling it even rides good now

Justin...he did my drop too...neglected to tell me that the rear coils sagged so much, I had to adjust my camber in so my wheels didn't rub my rear panels...Only one strut makes noise. I went and checked everything after I got home. I dunno if he messed anything up, but I will never let him touch my car again...Niko, he was the one who cut your rear brake line, it was in one peice before he messed with it...But the BBQ was good tho...Also he stripped two of the nuts in the rear too...To think I almost let him put on my header and downpipe, what was I thinking

Rep Power: 0 what is retarded about everything is that he knows how to do it, but he does it half assed. the suspension on the civic creeks like hell but the stock shocks are blown anyways from the 50kmiles he put on them. the car runs good just the little things that need to be fixed, needs to be thuroughly cleaned inside, and missing most of the trunk interior, oh yeah and a little extra screw you that i found in the trunk after the car did a nosedive in traffic is that i didnt have a jack or a wrench in the trunk, and he drilled screws into the floor matt to hold down the amp that ended up going into the spare tire and popping that, just an overall dumbass

thats normal. When you get out of the car, your feet slide around on the carpet creating static charge. If you want to prevent that, ground yourself before getting out of the car. You have voltage running through the chassis. All you need to do is touch a screw or something around the door before you get out.
