Default Vex Motorsports Review

Retracted due to the possibility that the trunk wires can cut themselves.
Apologies to Vex for any inconveniences caused by this review.
Thanks to those who pointed out this problem.

Cheers

Story doesn't seem right. There's no need to go into the trunk to roll the rears. Why didn't you stay and watch? I don't see any concrete evidence blaming Vex. It's all heresay if you didn't witness it. Could've been some place else you took your car. Too many ifs involved.

You're right, there is no concrete evidence. If there was I would sue them for negligence.

My car went in with the trunk working.

My car came out without the trunk working.

There is no chance that this happened elsewhere, I guarantee it. Again, this is going off of what I'm telling you so I encourage you to take it with a grain of salt. I'm just sharing my first-hand experience with them and Just know that I won't be going back there for ANYTHING, and will strongly encourage everyone I know to avoid them like the plague.

They "could've" done it. You walking in saying that they did crappy work and you expecting not the same crappy work probably wasn't the best thing to do.

This is why I never leave my car where ever I take it in to get work done on it.

You should've made a police report, then do a bbb report to have someone investigate. You're mad it happen, but ranting online doesn't do you any good unless you do something about.

from alot of sources though vex motorsports are shady.... I know its hearsay but when more than 15 people tell me bout the same thing and they don't know each other, it's pretty believable.

If search is working you will find a pretty massive thread on Vex motorsports and their feeble attempts at S2000 modifications. Call me crazy but I will never be a Vex motorsports customer.
