Alex, I can feel your pain. IMHO, I don't think the folks at speed gallery are class A businessman. I don't want to type the whole story here, but I can pm you if you are interested in knowing more about my experience. And my best advice to you is bite the bullet and fix up whatever that needs to be done and learn your lesson. There is really nothing much you can do (in terms monetary compensation ) as the car is probably already parked in your garage.

I really don't know what can or can't be done, I am looking into that now. I just would like to know everything I can about the car and do what I can.

I'm just gonna say that during my 'hunt' a few cars that had questionable history had stints at SG and they were a 'black hole of information'. There is a used car lot/building across the street from them, by reports loosely affiliated, yet 'nobody knew anything'...

I'm sorry, but when anyone defrauds another person any concept of 'client confidentiality' to the seller goes out the window for me...

Speed Gallery has always been good to me with great work at reasonable prices and they have a good following and reputation as far as I'm concerned.

From what I understand from reading this post, the car in question was purchased from a Speed Gallery CUSTOMER and not Speed Gallery themselves correct? What are they supposed to do? Some people take great care of their cars and others skimp, refuse to maintain or buy salvage cars. Is Speed Gallery supposed to refuse to service a car that doesn't meet the NEXT owners expectations?

I just don't get it.

Ari, Speed Gallery was brought up due to circumstances with the car in question. Certain people expressed negative opinions in relation to their experiences.

You have stated your opinion on Speed Gallery, why can't they?

BTW, i have their so-called 700 kit, so i do have experience with them. (unfortunately)

I can totally empathize with you and I think you should address any issues you have with speed gallery if you cannot come to an amicable resolution.

But it's not not Speed Gallery's fault that an unrelated individual misrepresented his car and sold it to another. That's the only point I'm making.
