Forged Performance - My Story

brooke

I'am going to throw my 2 cent in since I have not been on here in a few years. After selling my 04 white 350z to a friend with a new rebuilt motor Mr Shairif the smooth talker he is completley screwed these people after they somehow broke the turbo charged them 15k for a new short block, the a/f was not even calibrated and it looked like a 2 year old worked on the car. Since the car has been sitting with problems with sharif not wanting to make it right. These people paid to have the car picked up in Gulf Shores Alabama and dropped off *** well. The delivery man somehow broke the stillen front bumper and sharif said they would cover it but never did. There were alot of other issues as well but to say the least Sharif really screwed these people since they knew nothing about forced induction cars.... I'm knew it was only a matter on time before his @ss would be caught screwing people over like he has in the past and I'm sure there are more but would rather not take the time togo through all of the trouble and bs of being flamed on here since most think he is a saint. Sharif you know who I am and maybe a few others that remember me back in the day... I hope you go back to selling used cars because either way it's all about screwing people to you my little bald friend.....

Another new poster here with no agenda other than to blast a vendor. I sense a pattern and it sucks, please close this pathetic thread.

I think we should close this bad boy. I dont think GTM or FP has anything else to say and think their input along with OP's are the only ones that matter at this point.

I kind of like hearing the stories. Some of them could be a little more factual than inflammatory however. Like Joe Friday used to say, just the facts ...

Wow... reminds me of a dispute I had with a vendor that blew up my engine... I didn't air it publicly due to a legal claim, but I really wanted to! In the time since, I've moved on and pretty much forgiven them - **** happens! And I'm actually glad I didn't make a big deal about it

Looking at the "damages" the OP lists - a fourth of them were things that didn't happen fast enough but eventually got resolved... half of them are nit-picks that would probably have been overlooked by the OP if there weren't so many... yes, I realize it is a long list but crap the car was being worked on in a busy shop for 7 months... and that leaves a couple real mistakes... from what I can tell, Forged has offered / is offering to step up. Does the OP deserve to be PO'd - you're damn right. But it's time to move on.

My experience with GTM is that they are emotional and vindictive... sorry Sam, but it's pretty evident from your exchanges with other vendors. And passing one of your dealers an over-billed invoice to "fix" their work is unprofessional. You could have helped the OP work this out without the ambulance chasing. I bet your other dealers are watching this carefully.

I'm sure Forged has learned an important lesson and as has been said by others, they will be stronger b/c of it. I'm going to continue working with them.

What things were resolved??????

JB-370z

Yeah but at what cost??? Common dude, its ok to take sides based on personal opinions but lets not try to act like nothing happened here. Why would op want the shop that destroyed his car and thought it was fine to "fix" it??? Do you think they would be capable of fixing it at this point, or would they do half @ss job on it like they did everything else trying to save a buck. Sam spared no expense to make the car “right” the way it was supposed to be from the get-go! Its in Sam’s best interest to help out the consumer since we are the ones that drive this market not the dealers of other companies products.

Its also funny how all the guys that did the bad installs no longer work, Hell they shouldnt have been working to begin with. When you hire someone new you as the owner or manager must check their work on a consistant basis to see their level of work. The main issue at FP is not really the workers, its the guy who is suppose to make sure all is ok, and he didnt do that so that shows me the level of his expertise or in this case non expertise as a manager or owner. As a manager QC is of the upmost importance, workers will do what they can to get things done quickly and as easy as possible. Sharif might know how to do the mechanics of an install but he doesnt know squat about being in charge and managing a shop. I think they are going to ask the government for a bailout so they can give bonuses to all the guys that Fd things up and then the owner will get a $10 million bonus too.

lol wow, I hereby promise never to talk about GTM again. Just to clarify though I don't think any company is perfect and I do think GTM makes some nice stuff and that Sam is just trying to run a business in a tough economic time for the industry. I simply don't agree with some of the things "they" do. I also don't like some of the decisions they made with the s/c. Finally, my opinion of GTM has NOTHING to do with my opinion of Stillen so stop making it seem like it is...

semtex

So zDayz should be interesting, huh? I mean, the Forged crew will be there with all this drama fresh on everyone's minds. It'll be like there's an 800-lb gorilla in the room.

If the OP and Sharif see each other, this might just be the result
