Poor workmanship & over inflated prices
Just a few points on my experience with Auto Box CC (manual division) and the poor workmanship they did on my side shafts at a highly inflated rate; • The owner was advice when accepting the work, the power it will be making and the modification already done • I was at no stage made aware of terms and conditions from their side as to a warranty or a void of such if there would be problems. The owner is hiding behind this now as he cannot admit to poor workmanship. I have all the evidence (metallurgical reports) of the poor workmanship…..Bunch or cowards! • I had the old shafts tested by a metallurgical company and it was found to be weakened on the ends where they did the engineering, no heat treatment was done to relief the stresses induced with the cutting of splines (I submitted this with the RMI claim but it was just ignored). • I phoned around for a few quotes and could have billet shafts made up for the same amount of money they asked just to weaken my shafts • I am currently still running the second hand shafts that I have sourced and had serviced. Making more power than the day it broke. I can prove this with the revision of the maps that show the power figures and the dates received from the tuning house. • The shafts have a known track record of not breaking on moderate tunes, so it just proves again how poor their workmanship is and how big cowards they are in not even admitting their faults. The owner just pulls up his shoulders and says well not my problem after having me pay his inflated rates and assuring me that the work done from their side is 100% correct. Well guess what the metallurgical reports says something completely different! I have lodged a complaint with the motor industry ombudsman for what is worth but I will however post this encounter on every public group possible as people must know about them and how sly they are! So guys stay away from Auto Box CC (Manual division) and management they are a sly bunch of crooks and will not assist you in any way if you have issues after they have done work on your vehicle.
