Default Detroit Competition Engineering - Anybody Know Them

Anybody know this company? Their web site makes it look like they haven't been around long.

Just curious.

Well RCR is in Mt. Getto...wait Mt. Clemmons. So is that Ford shop up the street from them. I can not remember their name.

There are plenty of shops in the metro Detroit area that build engines. Gap and Rousch, Muldowney and others.

This could be a spin. Did you contact them?

If yes, what did they say?

Just curious.
Mount Clemens is only a half-hour away from West Bloomfield, home of another engine builder, Barry Rabotnik (Survival Motorsports). Send him a PM and ask him his opinion of these guys. He'll at least tell you the truth.

Pat, I am not sure I want to be in the car if West Bloomfield is 30 minutes from Mt Clemmons.

Getting across Big Beaver alone will take 45 minutes...on a good day.

Really? I thought everyone was unemployed in that area and just staying at home watching Scooby Doo and eating Cheetos.

Well, most are.

When was the last time you were in Detroit?

In fairness that's because eBay does not keep listings for a year or so...

Default Avoid these guys at all cost!!!

I became a member here to let everyone know about this shady company. CHECK THEM OUT before you do any business with them. there is better business bureau complaints on them and alot of threads on other site with people telling about the problems with them. I had them rebuild a 5.4 engine for me and they botched the whole thing up royaly and cost me an engine. If anyone wants the details, documents, pictures and records of what happened, please feel free to email me and i will provide them for you. The owner of this company, Paul, is a true d$#%k head and has no reason to be in business by the way he runs it. Take this as you will, just think about parting with your money to this questionable shop!!!!

Unfortunately, this is NOT how we handle Consumer Watch issues on this forum.

You both may move on now...and I hope you settle your differences.
