Highland Daytona Racing issues

[dscott]

Why do you post after more than a year and a half? Why do you want to discredit a company when you don't have the history from HDR? If there really were problems there is a proper way to handle them and proceed. Your first post on this site and it's bashing. I have worked on many different mfg's cars over the years and I sure don't post negative information about the companies. Solutions are generally worked out with the Mfg especially on a new car.

I have talked to Rick Ellis about this and it's funny the customer had nothing but rave reviews on the car. Maybe you should ask the customer about the rear end that he blew up by doing massive launchs and burnouts in the parking lot. Maybe ask the customer why he insisted on having a tire that was too tall for the car knowing that they would rub.

There's always 2 sides to every story. Your approach isn't right. If the customer is so upset with HDR why doesn't he post the complaints? Sounds like you did ok with the customer unless you did all the work for nothing, which I doubt. Nice business you have. I hope none of my customers bring anything to you for repair.
