First off let me say that im 31 years old been into honda/imports for over a decade. Im a pretty easy going guy and pretty much let things slide when im
****ed over but today i just cant let someone else go through what i went through. So this is why im writing this review.
Alternative Motorsports in Oklahoma City.
About 2 months ago i was quoted 800 for a simple b16a2 swap, problem is when all is said and done it cost me 1550$ the only extra thing needed was fluids (roughly 100bux?) and a main relay (10-30$ on ebay)
I asked for the shop to check my headlights because they were not working.
Found out later on a few days later my headlights were not working so they never checked it, even found that during the swap they unplugged one headlight and didnt plug it back in (still headlight didnt work).
Also a check engine light came on after 2 minutes driving away (they say it is intermittent and i just happened to get lucky when it came on- they wired the o2 sensor into the wrong pin
Good thing i check fluids before i left because they didnt have any coolant or wiper fluid in the tanks (they said the engine had the coolant but the resevoir didnt i know thats not the case because after a few days i had to refill the coolant again because the coolant they put in at the shop didnt siphon through the engine - a ""brain fart"" is what the mechanic said to me as the reason it was missed ( a brain fart that almost cost me 4500$)
Also over 50mph car shook like crazy it was out of balance they said they test drove it but i guess not over 50mph (they rebalanced the tires and it was good after that)
Steering wheel they installed but didnt hook up horn button and its a quick release hub but they
installed it in a way where u cant release the wheel at all - they said it wasnt a quick release hub (it is)
So after all this you would think id never go back to them right? Nope i made the mistake and let it slide and figured just my luck and they missed a couple things no biggie. I wish i could go back in time.
I get quoted 550 for installing intake headers exhaust coilovers/shocks and seats, some simple bolt ons. I'll tell you this i was quoted 860$ WITHOUT the seats so it would of been AT LEAST 1000$ if they did the seats so again i was charged twice what their estimate was (if you do decide to come to Alternative motorsports and your quoted something just double that price, even if its a bolt on item)
During both jobs i never got a call ever, I was always the one calling for status updates and the guy matt there doesnt give u anything to work off of u have to almost feel like probing
to get an answer it just seems like he wants you off the phone as soon as possible.
I wasnt in a rush, hell i waited a month for simple bolt ons yes a month LITTERALLY brought in on October 1 and it was ready on October 27th.
I kept calling every other day and there was always an excuse why my car wasnt done yet. Toward the end i asked for the owner to
call me back but every time matt left a message i never got a call back its funny becuase each time i asked for a call back he said ""i can leave another message"" ( i dont want another message just give him the first
message, that i need a call back ) matt says Chucks a busy man and has messages from back 2 weeks
that right there should tell u to stay away from this place manager doesnt know how to run a shop
