Pooter's Strykes again. Check out this thread form KzooRice
Well I'm sure most people on here aren't fans of porters, seeing how just about every guy I've talked to has a similar experience to mine. I recently went to them with a turbo kit and asked for an install, I was quoted $853 for installation of the turbo kit with some extra needed parts, and I was told it would take under a week. Well that was in Mid july, yes mid July... I just got my car about about 4 weeks ago and it wont run for shit. I havent seen my family since the summer. I have payed them over 2,000 bucks (one thing lead to another)and I got my car back incomplete, and last time I talked to them I was told I'd need ANOTHER part.. a new ECU..so whatever I payed them for it because I just wanted my damn car back and here we are today and no word from them.. The phone is disconnected and they cleared out the shop they just moved too (on allegan road)... So basically the owner took my money and ran, along with 2 grand (ish) and gave me a car back that I cant do anything with. I dont think they are closing though because they just moved and are in the middle of building a new garage. I had them rebuild a turbo for me too that is now throwing oil out of my exhaust, which was 400 bucks(low miles on motor, and it wasnt doing this before I brought it to them). I'm having no luck finding anyone else that can work on my ECU, and I'm screwed here. I'm pretty pissed off as anyone would have been.. because they had my car for 4-5 months and didnt finish a fucking turbo kit on a god damn civic. I know there are many more of you out there that have been in similar situations, but I'm sure not to this extent. Anyway I was hoping you guys could help me out and make sure this doesnt happen to any other kid, I couldn't imagine anyone handling it as well as I did and I just dont want anyone else to be fucked. So I was hoping to ask a favor.... it would only take a minute too. I was wondering if I could get you guys to contact BBB (better business bureau) and simply write up 3 sentences regarding the situation you had. The compliant form wasnt working real well for me, so I just got an email address. When I talked to BBB the dude told me to get all the people I can to email in about them, so I told him I'd do what I can. Most people I've talked to have just fixed the problems themselves or ignored it, but there is no need for this to keep happening and what they did to me was just unreal. You guys know what its like not to drive your car for a few days, well try 5 months, and getting it back in horrible shape! Again guys I would really appreciate if you did this I just dont want anyone else to go threw what I went through. Email address is bbbinfo@iserv.net. Just hit them up, list the name of the shop and what happened, it'd take under 5 minutes. Please give them an email it wont take real long.... thanks guys... Free car parts for the people who help me out! lol Hit me up at CustomMX6 on aim if any questions, also if anyone knows anyone who can flash my ecu or anything for me.
Thanks for reading guys, I appreciate it a lot.
Corey

I was talking with a sales men at a Mitsubishi dealership that i have know for some years now, and he asked me about porters. I kept my mouth shut at first, but when he came out and said he thinks they are shady, i opened right up and told him everything i know. He cant believe a company could be so bad.
I will tell every person i EVER come in contact with about this company and how horrible they are. i have already done this to 3 to 4 people that i have come into contact with at Napa. and will continue to do so until they finally get sued and go out of business.

And to think, those shady m-er f-ers will most likely come here to defend themselves. "We have a dyno, and that makes us the best shop in the world." except with their spelling it would be like " We halve a dino and tat makes us the besst shop in the werld."

Ya, your better off pissing in the gas tank and then setting fire to your car and watching it burn while it drives off a cliff, then you are taking it there.
