Reviews of Blackdog Speed Shop, Inc
"I worked with Kevin and the team at Blackdog recently on installing an intake, cam, headers and tune on my C6 Z06. Top notch customer service from start to finish! Pricing was reasonable given the high-quality work performed. Kevin updated me throughout the install process and Jeff in the shop is a master at his craft! Looking forward to working with them again on future upgrades in the Spring!"
"I contacted Blackdog Speed Shop in mid-August based on strong recommendations. Mr. Anderson, the service advisor, accommodated my request and scheduled my car for an appointment on September 25th. It took nine days to receive a quote, which outlined a cost of $1,500 for clutch replacement and $2,700 for parts, including the clutch and master cylinder. I inquired about addressing the grinding issue in 3rd gear, and I was quoted an additional $1,140 for a transmission diagnosis. Expressing my concern about the cost of the parts, I mentioned my budget limit of $1,800 for the clutch and master cylinder. In response, Mr. Anderson said, "If you're looking for something heavy-duty to handle that level of power, it usually comes at a price." He assured me he would get back to me soon. It took another week for him to return without a quote, but he strongly recommended placing a deposit to initiate the transmission examination while he continued refining the parts quote. Doing my own research, I chose the McLeod 1000 hp clutch and a Tilton 6000 slave cylinder, which fell within my budget of under $1,800. Surprisingly, Mr. Anderson indicated that these parts would cost over $2,200, representing a markup of over 30% on parts. Frustrated by the prolonged process, I decided to retrieve my car on October 16. This situation has left me disheartened, as I invested two months with Blackdog. This is particularly disappointing because I typically enjoy driving my car during the fall and spring, effectively missing an entire season. Blackdog's rationale for imposing a 30% markup on parts was attributed to shipping and warranty considerations. However, it's worth noting that many companies typically offer free shipping and warranties as standard practice. To confirm my concerns, I contacted several other establishments and found that such substantial upcharges on parts are not common. Despite Blackdog Speed Shop's commendable aesthetic qualities, with a pristine, professional appearance, I believe there is room for improvement in the service advisor's approach. While I was open to a reasonable up charge, a markup exceeding 30% struck me as excessively high. I found it rather ironic that Mr. Anderson essentially told me, ‘You have to pay to play,’ while simultaneously proposing an additional 32% charge on the parts. At the price they were trying to quote me, I could practically purchase a brand new clutch and transmission for my car. It appears to be a well-regarded establishment, but it does not align with my preferences or requirements."
"Visited during their St. Jude's Car Show. A nice and peaceful place to visit and the people were very nice."
"Had these guys do my clutch on my 2003 corvette last year, and they did a fabulous job. I had them pick it up this year and install heads,cam,and some other goodies as well as a dyno tune, and again they did a wonderful job . Highly recommend!!"
"I have a 2004 Pontiac GTO with the t56 manual transmission that I dropped off there to have a tune done. I usually do all my own work and I am very particular about my vehicles. Needless to say at the beginning I was worried. Blackdog Speed Shop took very good care of my car and I was fully impressed with their tuning service. They did an amazing job. In addition to seeing more horsepower and torque across the RPM range, they eliminated Chevy's notorious 2nd gear skip shift (EPA reasons), as well as they had my radiator fans turn on much earlier, my motor is running cooler and I am completely satisfied. This place is top notch. I have yet to report on their labor, I will soon be bringing in my car to have a set of long tube headers put on and I will update you guys to let you know the quality of their work, but if it's anything like the tune I know I will be extremely impressed."
