robyn402

Lukesky
They are very good. Take great care of the cars they work on and I believe Lifetime Warranty all their work. Highly Recommended. PM me if you need anything else.

just curious cuz they quoted me some pretty outragous prices...

They make rice cars, not fast cars.

It's like St.Alberts version of EZ.

Lukesky
It's a performance shop... The labor costs more. Go to a regular mechanic if you want a cheaper price.

EZ also claims to be a performance shop and look what they put out. A performance shop is a shop like AFI, Sub Racing,....

Eclipser
Karbz has put out some pretty "poor" performance work. They tend to put out more showy and "bling" stuff.

robyn402
no i ment they gave me some right out of 'er prices for parts... like double or triple of what i've found else where

2HIGH~PSI
well i went there to get my lowering springs done on my 300zx...they were nice and great as they allowed me to sit in the shop and watch them work on my car...they stripped a hub bolt, and they broke off one of the top mounts of the strut...they replaced it all...so i cant really knock them, but i dont know if id go there for anything else...

Sub- Racing ALL THE WAY!!!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Godzilla
+1 for subracing:D

i've heard horror stories in relation to Karbz but no first hand experience so i can't say for sure.

I think the destruction of that car was a joint effort from a couple shops :confused:

silvermist
that is why I have a good mechanic and have friends that i trust that are mechanics, I would never let a shop work on my car unless I've had them do a lot of minor work first andnever just go here is my car drop in a turbo.

All you have to do is drive by Karbz, look at the cars sitting in front, and you'll never want return to that debauchery.

Every time I go by there on St. Albert trail I want to throw a grenade in that parking lot. For the good of all mankind.:D

Could be, I was told it was Karbz by the owner of the car. He said that they broke a cam trying to install it, then after the turbo install they couldn't get his car running properly.

I agree. Living in St Albert, I see it way too often. Every time I drive by, cars are either in pieces or should be in pieces. :thumbup:

Aren't they a sponsor on the site? Or atleast they have a couple of guys on here. I remember they contacted me when I was trying to sell my car. He told me he would sell me a engine or buy the car from me. I emailed him back and never heard back from them. I guess too busy putting out the bling bling.

Well just for regular exterior styling shops and whatnot.. like to get your car lowered or have an exhaust put on yada yada, what are some good places?

Check out some of the sponsors of this board. Many of them do excellent work. Check in their feedback section for some reviews.

especially in a DOHC engine it's not like they have to route it through a hole like in the v8's. my guess is the timing was really off.and they ran it hard before checking the timeing on it and the rods cracked a lobe.
