Why not? Never really had any major work done there, but if I was going to I would take it there because it's the closest for me. Did you have a bad experience?

You've never had work done at fw, your opinion (based on a grudge) on that shop doesn't mean anything. Haha don't knock it till you try it

I wouldn't **** on that place if it was on fire for fear of putting it out.

But that is not the point, the OP is down here not up in sac, and he has contacted a great shop with by far the best reviews of any shop in the bay area.

Lic 5 stars and you never see anyone on any of the forums talking smack about
RBMS 5 stars and you never ever see anyone talk even one iota bad about
that other place, 4.5 stars, and you can find tons of drama about.

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, its a duck.

The best shops tend to be the ones you can't find bad reports on. Remember for every one person that complains or writes a bad report, there is 9 others who didn't. Sad to say but for every 1 good report/recommendation there is 20-30 who loved the service but never said anything or report about it.

There's also those people who tend to **** up their own car then blame the shop they went to for what happened. Now I know you see all those threads on nasioc and what not. But hey I'm not saying rbms or lic or gst are worse by any means those are awesome shops and probably gonna get my motor built by gst but fw is a great shop also. I just don't like eq because they ****ed something up that couldn't be my fault at all since it started as soon as I turned my motor on then didn't want to warranty their work at first took a lot of talking and frustration.

FW does not give 2 ****s about yelp. Yelp is a scam for small businesses. They've called him and said that if he pays X amount, they can remove the bad reviews for him ect. Surprisingly when he tells them to F off, bad reviews appear...

I'm very sorry you had a bad experience. I'm constantly working to improve our shop and customer service, so I just sent you a PM to get some more info about your experience so that we can try to make it right with you, and more importantly make sure we handle similar situations better in the future.

Thanks

Yelp, BBB, and other similar "consumer oriented/watchdog/protection" sites are extortion scams. They threaten to negatively impact business' ratings, search inquiries, complaints, whatever if they don't pay their "monthly membership fees". Information listed there should be taken with a pound of salt.
