Well, Columbus shops are garbage too.
Well, I should say shop since theirs really only one, but it is GAR-BAGE!

My advice: Do your own work, you wont have these problems

Default ZEROLIFT AUTOLAB

Thanks for the responses, i am going to start doing my own work now that i am in tech school for mechanics, i just thought i would ensure limited downtime so i let the pros handle the swap \wiring ! that was a year ago and i havnt drivin my car since! i am so lucky! I am going to start dealing with ZEROLIFT auto-lab , i only wish i knew about them a year when i had 10,000 bucks to buy my dream car crx.....DAMN these guys for making me hate my own passion, i am going to open a shop in a few years and will use these guys as an example of what NOT to do.

x2

And if the OP is planning on opening a shop, he should definitely take a "How to not get screwed" course at his school.

Short of wiring the Injector resistor box and injectors I just did a OBD1 conv yesterday afternnoon

Default Re: (G0crxG0) Tell me about it!!@!!

I was told 2 weeks which is PLENTY of time , but i had also ordered a thermal cat-back system, alternator, etc so they keep telling me that was what i was waiting for ! I was under the impression at this time that they were the only shop left in town so i let them screw me around. I run a business and if i did this to people i would not stay in business very long. Which im sure will happen to these guys.

To repin the ecu plugs, repin the dizzy, install a 2nd o2 and rewire the injectors?
1 week? I think not, ESPECIALLY if your a "professional" shop

Im picking the car up , and im told its all finished tuned etc, so if anyone wants to rip me off i will sell the car to the first reasonable offer i get. ( i will take 1/2 of what i have invested over the past year. ) Make me an offer then sell this thing for a huge profit!
