It's not the mechanical aspect of Devo as Adam does a fantastic job in that, its the tuning where personally i think he doesnt shine on *via ecuflash*. Other management systems I have zero clue on how much he knows.

Not sure what that means...
This guy knows ALOT about evo's! that any other shops
I work on my car alone, but he will do tha clutch change after winter since i don't have a lift.
Show me a place where you can buy Test pipe for $25 (yes used) or entire center piece for $20 with hand rest. IF it comes for evo parts! or you looking for some oem stuff, go to devo tunning....... they got tons of evo parts.

And I didn't say anything bad about Devo I simply stated that some of the fastest Evo's in the nation is built right down the street. Why go anywhere else? Yes every shop has their issues. I've never had or seen a problem come from AMS, if there was a problem I'm sure it would be fixed. I did see first hand a shop car from Devo have serious issues. Still haven't said anything bad about them.
And what does being Polish have to do with where you take your car?

It wasnt so much as to putting the track or anyone else at jeopardy.. the car was running fine, its just that I dont think that motor was ever gone through once since it had been built a long time ago.. AMS maybe down the street I just choose for simple reasons not to go there with my car.. Devo's always taken good care of my car though Im sorry to hear about your misfortune I dont think that its normal practice. He's done good work on quite a few fast cars..

First off adam showed all the guys at ams how to work on evo's. People get your story stright. Adam left ams becasue he wanted to do his own thing. Ams still buys heads , blocks , and mics parts that adam always gets. Ams really cant say anything bad about him because they both still work togther.

tristar, everytime you take your car out there is possibility for faliure. There are so many variables that can happen to cause engine faliure. Its not like the DEVO car which is a customer's car had a shelf life. You cant say that 1 year and 2 months on the 2nd week on friday at 12:33 my car is going to blow up. Not to mention from what adam himself told me as we looked at the piston that was the after math.........this is what a piston looks like after winding out 3rd gear and putting it back in 2nd!....I like AMS and DEVO, they are both very professional and im glad that i can easily do buisness with both. Like someone said earlier every shop has horror stories. 9 times out of 10 they are made up from a customer who probably spent a ton of money and over drove the car. Final point Adam and DEVO Tuning does good work!
