Worst consumer experience of my life. I don't even know where to start. My hellish journey began September 2019. One broken promise after another. 1. Steve Schmidt said he would have me a motor in two to four weeks, it took five months. 2. Never returns phone calls (including phone calls from The Indiana Attorney Generals Office) and is always at the other end of the shop, short staffed or too busy to call me back, response is "call back tomorrow". 3. Ran my credit card with out my permission on January 3rd 2020 for $8500. 4. Engine had no dipstick, wrong distributer, and an external oil filter which I did not ask for. 5. I was told the engine would ship out January 13th 2020 only to find out that he shipped it five weeks later. 6. Far from a drop in engine! Not even close! Huge oil pan that hit cross member and external oil filter. 7. Engine leaked oil in 6 different locations, two areas around oil pan, harmonic balancer, rear main seal, freeze plugs on back of the engine and distributer area. 8. Engine leaked coolant in two locations between both heads and intake manifold. 8. Engine would not make oil pressure, oil pressure fluctuated from zero to sixty pounds. 9. After shutting engine off, oil can be heard loud and clear draining from the valley back into the old pan (sounded like water dripping on the ground). 10. Poor craftsmanship and service. Very sad situation. I used to watch Steve race as a child in admiration and this is how our relationship ends in absolute disappointment and deceit. There were many more problems than what I have outlined. To this day over one and a half years later Steve Schmidt has my engine and my $18,000. Mr. Steve Schmidt lacks absolute integrity. The worst experience of my life. I can't imagine a consumer experience getting any worse. Mr. Schmidt has stolen $18,000 from me. Steve Schmidt knows what he has done and is not honest enough to admit his wrong doings. If anyone else has had a poor experience with Steve Schmidt please contact me so that we all can legally be made whole
