VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED with the lack of professionalism at this place. “Scott” the owner is basically out of touch with technology and should retire. This guy took 14 months to perform a cam swap on a Pontiac G8 which is an LS3 (6.0). His incompetence on this type of engine was very apparent early in the repair. He told us that ours had a bad cam bearing in it once we drove it to him. We brought the car to him to do a BTR Stage 2 cam upgrade along with the High Volume oil pump, timing chain, pushrods/lifters , waterpump, , gaskets , etc to complete the job. He literally only had to install everything. After the work commenced (2months after driving it there), he disassembled the front end of the car enough to where I couldn’t easily take it elsewhere and let it sit for 4 months with an unending deadline. Then he told me it be better to get another engine because there may be metal debris from the cam bearing throughout the engine. No problem, I provided a replacement engine w/ 70K on it 2days later which probably surprised him. At this point he literally could’ve done the cam swap on the new engine and just pulled the old engine and return it to me. Somehow he mixed up engines and neither of the two engines he says are mine are matching their ECMs. GM LS engine ECMs have the VIN of the vehicle programmed in them as well as the last 6 of that VIN on the oi filter side of the engine blocks on a designated “flat” ground area . “Scott” didn’t realize this so now he’s about to catch a case! 15 months for a CAM swap is what he wants all of you LS engine owners to know! Beware of this place if your car was made within the last 2 decades. Very disheartening experience and when you work VERY hard for your money you don’t want to be “SHAMmed” by a shop that can’t be TRUTHFUL, honest, and FORTHCOMING. All he had to say was “I’ve never worked on an LS based engine before” and we would’ve taken the car elsewhere.
