Onijdm Swap Issue

[Specialedition]

@Arruda

I wanted to stay out of this, but he is right. Regardless EVERYONE involved was aware of the quality of the potential swap and do it right or dont do it at all is the key to every job.

Mitch stated he knew there were problems with the engine so when he put the engine in, he knew the problems were not just going to disappear…and a thats how it would have been given back to the customer.

A shop should know better to swap an engine with problems to a customer expecting something working.

If I paid $1800 for a CA18 swap I would expect a working car returned, there is no deal from what i can see.

I think both had the wrong idea of the outcome…customer wanted something working, and the shop wanted to just do what the customer is asking for and not fix problems not related to the swap. The shop should take into consideration what the customer is expecting to avoid conflict.

I think the customer should have taken an expeirenced shops advice, cant say he wasn’t warned.

I think the shop should have not touched something they didn’t want to touch in the first place.

oh by the way, I own a skyline and i still cruise the son240 forums…and i’m sure i’m not alone!

Your not alone, Im a skyline owner too.

anywho, Mitch. There was so much respect for you with your work and your cars you bring in from japan. I only heard great things coming from ONIJDM. Whats happening with your company? Doing swap jobs like this doesnt make sence. you do the job to complete it not to almost complete it. Remember the customer is paying you to complete the job not to almost complete the job.

I got a swap done last year in my 180sx it cost my 1900$ with a used spring loaded clutch. Everythig was done perfectly and it ran like a dream. Why couldnt you make it happen for 1800$ on this 240?

Anywho i hope you and Jed Solve this issue as im afriad your about to loose a shit ton of business over this 2k swap.
