Do not do business with STS Turbo!
 

This is why you should not do busniess with them and im sorry for my grammar im just so mad at them.

Do not buy from STS turbo they take months to finish their bolt on kits on any car it took them 6 months to put on my turbo kit on my car and they wanted full payment within 2 weeks i waited half a year for their basic kit!!! And they would not give me discount is costed over $14k every week after the first month i constantly contacted them and they kept saying the car will be done next week they kept saying for 6 months!!! WTF these guys are lazy,slow and dont give a sh!t about their customers. I want to know can i sue them for having my car for so long and charging me more then their estimation on the price and telling me it would be done in 3 weeks and they kept telling me it would be done the next week for 6 months.

Their is way more stuff to the story i just made it short they kept dodging my phone calls, texts,emails.

I'm sorry to hear that. You drive a GTR?

09 gtr and 2011 camaro ss

Dont think you can sue them unless you sign a contract that stated it will be done within X weeks/months. But atleast you have your car back with the kit setup right?

sorry for your troubles. Talk to a professional please.

Just a thought, perhaps you should post some photos of your car with this turbo kit on it. I'm not saying you're lying, but this could really use some supporting evidence.

I'm still waiting for my car to get done. I just want to let you guys know about my bad experience and wanted to know does it really take this long to install a basic kit? Have any of you guys had this happen to you?

They said on paper work it was 20 hours of labor.

I know in some states you can take a business to court and recover money if the invoice is +10% of the original written estimate.

Well there's a few z' with that kit successfully installed on here. Remember, they are the only people in the world doing a remote mount turbo. **** isn't just plug n play. So are you just gonna go around forum to forum on the internet until nobody buys the kit?

U take a chance by modifying a car from an na engine to accept fi. Nothing is for sure or set in stone. The reason its called a cost estimate is because its exactly what the name describes.. An estimate. If an unforseen problem arises or anything unexpected happens, then price will go up. Modding a car to accept forced induction is not an exact science. If u wanted it done perfectly to you specs, than maybe a self install should have been undertaken.

I'm not completely against u warning people of shady dealings, but understand that companies pushing the limits of these cars need time to do things properly. U would be more mad if they spent 2 months on it and rushed it back to you and your engine grenaded...

6 months....WTF? I would have called back after week 2 and said give me my car back. :bowrofl:

I understand what your saying but i dont think it will take anyone almost 7 months to complete the install. I saw the some Z's and other cars getting this kit done but it was not done by sts it was done by a shop. I'm saying i got this done from the source I still dont have my car back yet.

The original estimation was 14k it shot up to 20k they said the reason why was not parts it was labor they are charging almost 10k in labor so i think they are taking there time on the install in my paperwork it says 20 hours of labor.

If anyone has any advice on what to do please contact me.

I dont have a Z its a camaro that i dropped off since june 24th

im sorry for your experience, i personally cant stand it when a company says it will take 3 weeks than they take longer

i had an experience with a body shop near me, they told me my car was gonna take 2 weeks at the longest before i can get it back, it ended up taking them a month to fix, and they trashed my engine(created a bunch of boost leaks on my turbo eclipse)

i wanted to sue them but i decided to let it go as i dont have the time to go to court

:iagree: 6 months is ridiculous.

Again, before we all agree that STS is just the worst thing in the world can we please see some proof? Maybe its just me but I find it odd that someone who drives a GTR and Camaro SS joins a Z forum for the sole purpose of warning everyone about STS.

Some form of paperwork to verify your story would go a long way in my book.

Although it's too long, I don't count 6 months if you dropped your car off on June 24.

This....

why just join a forum to tell them to not use a company randomly...





sketchy post is sketchy...

I agree. They CANNOT charge you more than 10% of the estimate unless YOU give them the OK. If they bill shot up by $6k, it sounds like you must have OKed it. Also, how is it that they are charging you $10k in labor? At an average labe rate of $100/hr, you're saying they are charging you for 100 hours of labor? I find that hard to believe.

while you do have a point, but i can see someone warning everyone about a company doing shady business

i remember one guy did it with top speed and their exhaust

yeah I wouldnt be so quick to call a bluff on this one, although it seems sketch, he may just be an upstanding citizen who is concerned about other people falling for the shops gimmicks,(a lil sarcasm included):icon17: or he just wants to bad mouth them because they took 6 freaking months, which if it is true I dont blame him. :stirthepot:

10 k in labour? Looooool mine was 7500 installed, some thing doesn't add up at all

I'm not saying he is lying, i'm just of the mind that if you're going to post such a large claim against a company you should bring some proof. I've been working with him via PMs to post a receipt or bill which he says he has so we can see what kind of date range and scope of work he is having done. He wants to black out any personal information before posting though, so that is apparently his hold up.

I remember a guy on these same forums that had a GTR & Lambo & 900hp NOS Z who traded countries by day... so please excuse me if I don't take everything at face value :bowrofl:

:iagree: :iagree:

Let me explain this to you about STS....I ordered my kit in Feb of 2011. It didn't come in until Aug of 2011. Now as far as the install goes, mine was done by a bunch of monkeys f@cking a football. I was also told it would only take 16hrs to install it took them over 80hrs to install the kit. Guess who ate the 64hrs....let me give you a hint NOT ME!!!! I paid up front for all labor and parts. That way if it takes longer it's on the installer not me.

Now I'm no fan of my STS service by no means. Once the problems couldn't be figured out by STS (they also wanted me to pay them $3500 to send it to them so they could fix it) they brushed me under the rug. Me and a friend had to find the problems and get them fixed. Not STS. So if they are doing the install I would bet it's gonna work.

At the same time, by your statements and the fact they keep changing I'm smelling a troll from another turbo company. Just a little convient that I post some great numbers that the trolls come out of the wood work. Maybe I'm wrong and you could post some proof and prove us all wrong.

Just sayin....:ugh2:

LOL I get what you are saying, but I will still give the OP the benefit of the doubt. Maybe his figures dont add up, but lets wait and see, maybe he is telling the truth, maybe he isnt, but I think turning skeptical and jumping to conclusions before anything is proven is pointless. :tiphat:

Ill give him another day or two to post that receipt. :stirthepot:

Welcome to the Internet.

And still no proof of this being true.

Go figure....Call someone out and they run. I'm not a huge STS fan (anymore) but if your gonna talk sh!t about a company...say it then prove it.

STS ate my baby. I'll show you proof too!

Here is the baby...

I think I've made my case.

looking like this might be a bust. :wtf2:

:icon17:

Not very good at math either. Jun 24th to his last post is 4 1/2 months, not 6+. Still a really long time for a kit system unless this is a one off design.
