Dobson Performance Garage (Formerly Jakes Automotive)

"Will scam you by fixing something that’s not even wrong with the car after you tell them that’s not the problem and charge you for it then say they will refund you if that didn’t fix the problem just to say they will give you credit once you go back and tell them that didn’t make the car drive any better than before you brought it in I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone"

"Got a whipple supercharger from them very nice people but I don’t think they are very honest I took my car back to them 3 times cause of stuff messing up on it and then they said my transmission lines were leaking when they never leaked when I had the car they just started leaking after they did the work on my car and I had to come out of 1100$ extra on it and on top of all that the whipple supercharger I bought from them they said did not come with a cold air intake when I did research on it they said it does come with it I’m not really happy I’m giving 1 star only cause they were a bunch of liars and then took it back over there and they charged me 3500$ to fix my car and I paid them they said if it does not fix the problem they would give me my money back and then I got the car back and it did not fix the issue they said no refunds and charged me for so much extra stuff I never said to change this place is a scam and will steal parts from your car as well"

"***my response** If your engine builder was out of town "WHY" was it not once mentioned in conversation(s) with Chris ? Why did he "keep" leading me on with. I'll call you in few days or call you tomorrow for 5 weeks ? And never once returned a call never once builder out of town...never at time of engine drop off anyone mention builder out of town ?...hmmm ? Very disappointed with the person representing the shop (Chris)...I went to see talk /interviewed 5 shops before deciding on DPG, only to be let down by broken promises and not 1 bit customer care after my bb 454, transmission were dropped off for a enginge build & swap in my C3 Corvette. Run around after run around, "I'll call you....NO call back ! I call them again.... I'll call you back with estimate almost done he says...NO call back, I call again due to no call back ever !...not once from Chris, well after 5 weeks of this I'll call you and never doing so. I was done ! No customer service by the person that represents the shop. I hope Dave the owner reads this and contacts me. I took my buisness elsewhere (read that again Chris), mind you this is the short simple version. Chris is not a good person to represent this shop..."The 1st thing Chris says to me " the day I walked in unannounced to get my motor, trans...I WAS JUST GOING TO CALL YOU"

"I asked to have work done and they kept telling me they know more about MY car than me, when i have owned the same exact car with the similar work done just at a different shop. My response: look it up you can SAFELY run up to a 100 shot, I’m not trying to go higher than 75 and even IF the motor blew I said I would replace it because I plan on doing so anyways, I just wanted the kit set up and installed. The trans and the motor can handle the extra boost in power"

"Have used their dyno for NASA certifications and some dyno time to have someone remote tune my car on a few occasions. Dave always makes sure I’m set up and have everything I need. If I have a question he’s always ready to drop what he’s doing and help. Chris at the front desk makes sure they charge fair for the dyno time but doesn’t stick it to you like some other shops. Stand up crew and would highly recommend these guys!"
