Speedomotive is Horrible
« on: October 19, 2006 - 05:06:39 AM »
Okay, after waiting 6 months after the promised 2 month delivery of my aluminum 540 hemi from SPEEDOMOTIVE in CA

the block did not have the oil dipstick hole drilled into the block to check for oil - DUH

Now after waiting over 2 months for modification dipstick tube to be screwed into the oil pan I get a call from accounting from SPEEDOMOTIVE asking me how I want to pay for the part.

I call back and inform them I already paid $22,000.00 for the dipstick tube - their response - "Oh yea - I forgot" - sounds like they forgot the dipstick hole also.

Said they would overnight immediately since we cannot complete car without Necessary part.  Been OVER A WEEK - still no part

I hope they didn't forget anything else in the engine build - THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER THE SALE HAS BEEN A BIG F*(&%(   JOKE

Be careful if you ever decide to use these clowns   :poopoke:

I have heard of them but never talked with anyone who bought anything from them. I will pass this along to everyone I know to stay away from them.

Is this the Mopar engine?
If so I can put you in touch with the builder for them, great guy in Spokane.
