I never bought anything form these guys, but I did call for advice a few times and they were always helpful. It comes off as shady but at the same time I am sure George is not having the least bit of fun with all of this. I wish him luck and hope he does his clients right by at least contacting them and making some sort of arrangements one way or another.

This is a very difficult business to be in to say the least. Hopefully it's not too late for Boost Solutions to sort out their problems and get through them.
Good Luck to all involved,

I am sorry to hear about Boost Solutions also. I never dealt with them until last week. I ordered a High-Flow Cat from them and never received It. I aso tried to contact them by E-Mail, Fax, and phone, all with no response. I'm now dealing with my credit card company and unfortunatly I'll have to wait awhile until I get my money returned to me. I do understand that it is a tough business, but when my own business went under, I knew it was for some time. Unless it was a sudden emergency, I would have stopped accepting payments over their website and at least left a pre-recorded messege advising their customers about their misfortune. I will wish George the best of luck in his future endeavers. It's like that old saying says, "you learn from your mistakes".

You are wrong about George Al

The sad reality is that many start up business do experience problems.
Heck look at Delta and Donald Trump's casinos in AC all going chapter 11.
I am sure that George will make good on all his finacial obligations to customers - he is a decent person

Unfortunately, I took your words as an endorsement of Bust Solutions and trusted my car to George. The end result is that I gave George over $6K of my money plus trusted him with my car wich he totally screwed up. I have lots of proof of that and many witnesses. I'm now having to spend several thousands more to correct the horrible mistakes and incompetence of George and his crew.
George is not a stand up guy. The truth is that George is a con man who first conned himself into thinking he was some hot shot tuner and mechanic and then conned a lot of other unsuspecting people too. Also, George is incapable of accepting responsability for all the crap he did and was not willing to make things right by me even though I gave him tons of opportunities. Hellfire, if he had only stepped forward and offered me an apology and even a partial refund for his lousy, incompetent work I would have been happier and would have given him more chances. Fortunately for others (not for me) he showed his true colors and attacked me and blamed me, the victim, for his bad work and bad ethics. He did not get more chances from me and so his downfall came sooner. I hope this prevented more people from becoming victims of busted solutions' incompetence and bad ethics.
George did himself in. He should never have started a business he had no experience in. I wish he had not conned you so well so that I would not have dealt with him and lost so much money, time and peace of mind over this whole mess. I like to think that George is not crooked and all he did was only his own narcissistic incompetence and his inability to admit any mistakes or to accept responsability for anything he or his shop did. George lied to me countless times and he took my money but delivered nothing more that a bunch of crap work. Personally, I think he went out of business and declared bankrupcy to avoid paying for his numerous mistakes. I know at least one other guy (I spoke with him myself) who suffered the same fate I did from George. He said he knew of others in the same boat and suggested we all get together and sue George for damages. I knew that would probably be useless so I dropped the idea. Apparently other people did sue him and his way out was to declare bankrupcy.
I cut my losses with Busted Solutions a while back. I only wish I had not taken your words about George at face value. Admit it Al, you were just plain wrong about George. You got fooled just like a lot of other people ( I think George actually fooled himself first). If George was a stand up guy, he'd at least accept responsability for all his screwups and ask for forgiveness. An apology or 2 and a sincere effort to make things right would go a long way to redeem his very damaged reputation.

Al, i'm glad he was so nice to you. it amazes me that he was, because all he ever did was talk your company down whenever the name came up .

At the time I was recoemending them - I had only postive information and data before me.
Of course well after that - in the past few months I have heard many bad stories about the Boost Solutions work. Of course I still tought George was still a good person - just maybe not doing such a great job in some cases.
It would be nice to hear an explanation from George about all of these horror stories. I always like to give someone a chance to explain themselves but the total absence of comment from George here is starting to become very alarming for me. You would think that if customers were owed money he would at least post up some advisiory here to explain what is going on.
Again - Manuel - I'm sorry for recoemending them to you - I tried my best to help you. I wish I had just tuned your car myself

They had good prices. Man, in August I ordered an HKS intake from them. It took a month for it to get here. At least I got it. Good luck to those of you who are getting boned on this one.
