ATTN ANYONE IN HOUSTON WHO VALUES THEIR CAR !!!!!!!!
I would strongly suggest NOT taking your car here if you have any regards for it:
Roadmaster Engine Corp / Northwest Engine Exchange
10323 Veterans Memorial Dr.
Houston, TX 77038
This is the most unprofessional shop I have ever taken my car into. And will never again.
After spending over $2,000 on a complete "engine remanufacture" with them, this is what i have encountered.
1) My valve covers were painted GOLD!!!! Why in the hell someone would do this is beyond me. I came out after having my car in the shop for two weeks to find this. I marched back in and told them they were repainting them when i got a chance. The guy smirked and said "I knew that didnt look right." and then "O.K."
2) One of the rims i just had repaired and refinished had been scratched.
3) My tires which had almost 1/5 of their tread left were completely bald.
4) There is some kind of glue or something all over my hood and windshield that does not come off easily.
5) When i brought it back to have it repainted, the valve covers were painted while on the car, and one is still about 1/4 gold. Paint is all over the plug wires and various engine hoses. Nothing like screwing up and fixing it with an even more halfass job.
6) My 180 thermo was replaced with a 195.
7) And they painted over my plenum (which was silver) in......drumroll.............SILVER !!! and it wasnt even dirty. Now everytime my engine gets hot it smells like krylon (which is probably what it was painted with) And its not even the same color siver, plus the fact that spray paint over that textured aluminum looks hideous (I used to like the way my motor looked
Worst is, i know if i go back to get more of the stuff fixed now, it has already been like a month and they will either not accept blame or just do even more damage than they did before. I wish I had the time, money and resources to make them pay like they deserve to, because I would.
What kind of people would treat a car like this i have no idea. Obviously though, nobody i would want to deal with again anytime soon.
Just wanted to give everybody a heads up, dont make the same mistake i did.

That sounds like one of the most god awful things I have ever heard. There has got to be something for pay back. Can't just let them do that. Have you contacted the five-o?
