Angry My Grand Sport

The Grand Sport in the Picture is my car which I had ask John to do a minor tune on and that Bella to do a FULL detail. What I received was an below average tune, a poor detail that included an even worse engine detail! I don't believe they even wiped it down. I also had them detail my Harley, Mercedes (took a week instead of 2 days and wanted double when finished) and my 61 corvette roadster all of which I was not happy with, no more details with these people. What upset me is, I've known Bella to do much better work on at least 8 of my cars, this was prior to her hooking up with John. After all this I still tried to have John do a major service on my Carrera. I made 3 appointments with him, all to be stood up without any regard for a return call? After this I did a License check only to discover John does not have any Bar license. Approach with caution! I've been a car lover for over 40 years and am also a collector car dealer that knows what professional service is. These are people that will make you NOT sleep at night!

Can you clarify a couple things as I'm not clear on your story. So a year and a half ago, your Grandsport was at Racewhere for service and you weren't happy with the result? So you took 8 other cars and a motorcycle there for service?
And you're just now posting your side of this story?
Do I have that correct or did I miss something?

Thank you for the introduction, Jeff!
As previously stated we can restore your original Cobra to concours condition or we can build you a Cobra to your own specifications. We are a full service shop that specializes in Cobras of all kinds but we also cater to most classic vehicles. I was a Pirsche Master Technician by trade and a classic car nut by hobby and now that has been reversed. We also reproduce Cobra specific parts to concours level and are coming out with new reproductions all the time. John

I can say there will be many parts on CSX2317PR from Racewhere.
There are also parts from John on 2375r.
Quality is at Racewhere

I got the oil cooler and my other parts delivered and they look awesome.

But what I would like to highlight is the way John and Bella are doing business and customer support. I’m on the Cobra parts stuff for close to 20 years and they are on top of the champions league of this business.

Many thanks for the perfect items and the way you support your customers.
Kind regards from the other side of the atlantic ocean.

John, has that Grand Sport been in the Speed Fest car show on Coronado? Looks very familiar.
