Rev Xtreme???
 
They just opened a shop near me in Ft. Myers. Looking to get some work done. Has anyone dealt with them? Good or bad, please discuss.:)

Ive spoken with Steve. Im looking to have just some routine maintenance done, and he told me that I would have to leave my car with them for a few days. Not really sure Im ready to do that with some complete strangers, especially for something that shouldnt take more than a day. Hard for me to do that when I live in Naples and work Mon thru Fri. Just looking to have fluids flushed and u joints changed. Thanks for the positive feedback though.:thumbsup:

Have you ever taken your car to Jeff Baptista in North Naples? I have had very good dealings with him.

I've not been there yet, but other's I know have had work done and have been satisfied. The husband has been there and talked with Steve. He plans to have some work done. I'll take mine there if and when I need work and then I'll have my own opinion. So far haven't heard anything negative.

They started thier first shop herer in Tampa. Big problems were very slow turn around, lack of communication with the customer, slow parts availability and high prices.

Other than that, they were great:D

Took the former owner over a month to get a simple little air clearner cap (chrome K&N job). Kept saying they were back ordered or were on the way. I walked into United Speed World on Florida Ave., and picked up the same thing off the f**king shelf!:rolleyes:...AND saved $$$:hehehe:

There was an issue with a friend and former club member whose car they couldn't seem to get finished and when they did, they$$$ was out of this world:(

On a brighter note, Tracy bought the shop some time back and since has relocated to a larger facility down the street from thier old location.

He has an excellent reputation in the racing community and knows his stuff:thumbsup: From what I hear, he has turned the shop around:thumbsup:

If it were me, I'd take my car to someone with a proven track record and leave the simple things to them until they prove themselves. Several days for the work you mention is rediculous...unles they're backed up. Even then, thats what scheduling is all about:hehehe:

Yeah, he installed my headers for me. I havent talked to him in a long while. He seems to always be way to busy though. I may give him a call as he lives a few blocks from me.

Thats the problem, there arent that many people around my area that do quality work. Several days did seem a littl rediculous to me also. I will call them again tomorrow and see what they say. :shrug01:

:thumbsup: Just test the waters.

They had my buddys car for months and months doing a SC install:rolleyes: There was more to it than just the SC, but regardless, the delays and cost overruns got stupid!!

He was going to file suit at one point and I interviened to stop it. On another, he was ready to take his unfinished car back and go elsewhere:(

Talked him out of both scenarios and interviened to help him get his heads (that was the potential suit issue).

Not sure what all the problems were, but communications and keeping thier promises were MAJOR issues:(

If you were part of the inner circle, then you got things done promptly and at a better price. If not, you were just at the luck of the draw:(

Like I said before, Tracy has taken over the business now and I "hear" things have gotten better. No first hand knowlege on my part and thier probably won't be.


Good luck in whatever you decide.:thumbsup:

Was that Streetknight by chance?

I have also heard that if you were in the "inner circle", you were good to go, otherwise you may be SOL.
