John Tsikouris is a fraud. He poses on this and other forums only to bad mouth my company. You can see this is his first post (new member). He has nothing to contribute because he has no expereince or knowledge about vehicles or transmissions, whatsoever !!!!

He is acutally the owner of GoodFella Transmisions. He started up his company after I fired him !!! He is a former disgruntled employee of mine from my old shop, Mad Dog Transmissions.

I don't gossip or particpate in forums, but I have to address the truth and waste my time. Apparently he must NOT BE BUSY AT HIS new shop since all he does all day is signup on forums and post this same text.

He should probably be paying more attention to his rebuilders or they're gonna run game on him, just like John Tsikouris and the rest of my former Mad Dog crew did to me. But I guess what's the difference when he doesn't even know the insides of a transmission or how to rebuild one.

SO WHOSE EXPOSED NOW !!!!

John Tsikouras was a former employee of mine at Mad Dog Transmissions.. He used to come to my shop almost everyday begging me to teach him about my business and the transmission industry. He looked like a clean-cut, honest boy, so when an opportunity arose at my shop I decided to give him a chance. I took him under my wing, trusted him and even invited him to my wedding. I taught him alot about the transmission business and had hoped that he would be a long-time, loyal employee. It was brought to my attention that while I had trusted him to be running my business, he had actually started his Goodfellas Transmission business. When I found out, I had no other choice but to fire him on the spot. He basically replicated all my ideas, phrases and sales pitches to start-up his new business.

Does this sound like a man with integrity? It is no secret that I have relocated and renamed my business, Outlaw Transmissions. My picture is even posted on my website and E-bay ads. My old site www.maddogtransmissions actually links to my new site www.outlawtransmissions. I would not make an attempt to insult the intelligence of my customers who shopped around for the BEST TRANSMISSIONS in the industry and then purchased from me. My customers made me who I am today. I have the upmost respect for all my customers past and present. Unfortunately, it took me a little longer to relocate my business than I had anticipated. Does it sound like I'm trying to hide? I'm here ! The main reason Mad Dog Transmissions is now defunct is primarily due to the mis-mangement of the business operations while I was away. If I did not know the transmission industry, I would never have been able to sell thousands of units and stay in business that long.

I am a second generation transmissions builder. I have been building and selling transmissions before John Tsikouras was even born !!! I have had thousands of satisfied custmers throughout the years and I will continue to deliver superior products to all my customers. One things for sure, I'M BACK and building every single transmission that leaves my new shop, OUTLAW TRANSMISSIONS. I welcome anybody to watch me (from start to finish) rebuild a transmission with my own two hands !!! I doubt this former shampoo boy/personal trainer can offer that to his customers. John Tsikouris had no transmission experience whatsoever before he came into my world.

John Tsikouris is a fraud and a joker !!! He literally tripped over a transmission (at my old shop in Florida) a year and a half ago and had no idea what it was.

He is pathetic. He even has people call my new shop to obtain my personal information (i.E. like my cell phone number and give it out on forums).

GET A LIFE, JOHN. YOUR A LOSER !!!

I can name four companies out there today, who were employed by me, trained by me and lived through me. I was obviously doing something right. I will not continue to waste my time by having periodic pissing contests with fornmer employees or anybody over internet forums or mickey mouse e-mails. Do us both a favor and don't waste our time !

My efforts are focused on running a buinsiess and providing quality products to my customers and not wasting time with haters who love to use the internet to talk trash and spread rumors. THESE ARE THE FACTS !!!! If John Tskiouras called my shop, He did not talk to me or my wife as he claims and then again why would he.... Maybe only to tell you guys about some big secret he thinks he let out of the bag. What a waste of time!!! I thought people had more important things to do with their time. Maybe he should spend more of his time educating himself on how to rebuild a transmission. The only secret out of the bag is now THE TRUTH. You have a former, disgruntled Mad Dog employee who has no experience in the transmission industry other than what I "myself" taught him about selling transmissions in the year and a half he was employed by Mad Dog Transmissions.

My shop number is 678-965-5338.

Thank you,
Mad Dog Lou

Explains alot....but we have one in the shop that only lasted a week in the customers car (our only experiance w/your trannies). We have not torn it down yet to see but the burnt fluid & clogged filter full of clutch material makes me think 2-3 clutch pak. I will post what we find when we tear it down to rebuild.

Hello to everybody watching this thread. This is John Tsikouris, and I am here to set the story straight on MR. MADDOG LOU.. I ran Maddogs for years, and taught LOU everything he knows about the internet and Ebay. The real reason I left Maddog's and started Goodfellas was because unethical things were going on there. He was putting used clutches in supposed brand new transmissions, old parts, and was not even testing the units. He was dumping fluid in them and shipping them out. I am sorry I did not want to asscociate myself with that. That is the reason he had so many dissatisfied customers. That is why all you were talking about how bad his product was before he jumped on here. Everybody knows I ran that shop perfect and made MR LOU a lot of money. The truth was he was never there, and never inspected any units himself. That is why he had BOZOS running his shop after I left, and that is why he went out of business. He defaulted on customers that had warranties, parts companies, and the shipping companies. If anybody doubts me I can supply numbers and references to his old customers that got the shaft from LOU.. One of the true builders at Maddog was Greg Little form G-Men transmissions. Give him a call and see what he has to say about MR MADDOG LOU.. Lou knows the real truth, and so does everybody that did business with him. That is why he had to change his name and had to get off the internet. He had so many complaints it was not funny. Obvisouly some of the people on here got screwed by Maddogs. Hey Lou if you are such a straight shooter you should warranty all those bad transmissions you sent out. I will make sure to forward your number to all your old customers that call me. The truth to the whole story is the guy is a scam artist he did not teach me anything about the business I learned how to build from other people and I sold every transmission in that shop by my self. I set up all the marketing and products. He can try to bad mouth me, but the proof is out there on his garbage product and OUTLAWTRANSMISSIONS will be ran the same way because he is in charge. I challenge anybody to buy my transmission, and if it dos not go above and beyond your expectations I will give a full refund! I also can supply numbers and references of my new customers. I deal with true racers!

They can tell you if I am the real deal or not.Subject: Emailing: LS1GTO.com Forums - ohios first ten second GTO. He is running my BOSS 4l65E transmission in is GTO. He is 5th in the nation. The proof is in the pudding. If anybody has any more questions about me or my company you can talk to the man driving the car.

here you heres proof,regards Rogerc 740-252-1694

If anybody has any questions you can contact me direct at 727-234-0641.

Thank You,
John Tsikouris

Facts are Facts ! John Tsikouris got on this and many other forums, never having been a previous contributing member...signed himself up....posed as an old customer and bad mouthed by company. He's wasted both your time and my time in a completely unprofessional, unethical manner. I set the record straight with my response. I have no intentions of wasting another minute of time here. I will gladly continue to support all my customers. He used your forum to start a malicious thread. I responded !

I will only use this forum to contriubte information to members and stay on topic. I will not continue to waste my time responding to junk like this. Maybe he should consider doing the same.

Totally understood, if I logged into a forum and saw my name getting run through the mill, I would be defensive too! but we are lucky all of the corvette shops around here are united and help one another, because almost every american has an car and lord knows how many corvettes are in the florida area one shop couldent handle them all.

Please contribute when you can! Ive heard your are very good at what you do.

Here are the facts. I never claimed to be an old customer.. Another fact there is a user on here that had one of your junk transmissions and it did not even last a week.. You can try to lie about things Lou, but the people you have screwed over know the truth. That is why you closed down and ran from Florida.. So keep running you joke of an "outlaw" cause outlaws always get caught..

Shadow · 11-12-2007, 01:47 PM

Damn! I musta been asleep at the helm?

I locked the last pissing contest between you two and apparently missed this one

I'm correcting that error...right now.

No more. It's apparent you two can't or won't get along and thats fine. You've aired your differences and are at an impasse.

At least one of you have agreed to support the forum by submitting useful positive information.

Please refrain from further name calling on this forum.

Have a good day gentlemen...
