Wow, sounds like a nightmare with TJ and Pure Performance. To be fair, I'd really like to hear his side of it, but I really appreciate you giving us your experience!
Back in my Corvette days I had a top shop put a new clutch on my car. Shook, drove like shit. The owner said it was a bad batch from Spec. Finally it got bad enough I thought the car might explode. This time I decided to DIY it. Bought another of the same clutch. The flywheel was installed with SAE bolts instead of metric. Basic error that any shop shouldn't have made. |

No excuse for it not being put back together properly but sometimes things go wrong with cars that have nothing to do with what has been done, many people don't understand cars so they automatically blame the person who worked on it.
I've seen enough bad posts about TJ though to know I wouldn't recommend him. |

Sometimes, yes. Doesn't appear to be the issue in this case though!

Hey guys TJ here.
The original poster has a car at a competitors shop and just loves trash talking our name anywhere he has. We did have very small issues with Patrick car and I dont think its right for the OP to go around bashing our name even when it isn't his problem and his own car has been at another shop since October. We are always here to help our customers and have told the Client that actually wrote this book above that he is welcome anytime for me to personally go over all the issues wrong with his car and fix the situation my employees might have done. Again we are human some mistakes are made all I can do is leave my door open (which it is even after the client wrote a book about it ) I still even till today tell him he is welcome by anytime for us to fix any issue.

But is your company capable of fixing these issues? I'd love to hear your side of this and to hear positive reviews from your customers. There are always at least two sides to every dispute. I'd like to hear why you believe you offer good service and this is a rare or even unique problem. |

I do not know TJ personally nor have i had my car there either, so this is coming from a completely unbiased place. I do however know cars who have been there and came out there running 0 issues. You cannot please everyone and it sounds to me that if a mistake was made TJ took the right stance and made efforts to correct them, i can tell you by experience not everyone will do that.
Also one thing i know that TJ does is that he logs every car he builds and provides you with the dyno and test running logs. I do not see the same from other places, if the hat fits you know what they say, again unbiased i do not know TJ or his shop personally and haven't even been to Houston like ever. Just my 2 cents. |

I had a shop screw me over on a $3k job(spent $10k with them in one sitting) once and although they still operate business today and have tons of 5/5 star reviews they absolutely screwed me BAD. I left fair reviews detailing exactly what happened and was perpetually contacted and threated by them if I did not remove the reviews. Legal action, physical threats xyz. I didn't budge and nothing happened. My guess is they threatened him with a lawsuit and he said "this isn't worth it" deleted it and walked away. |

TJ rebuilt my M5 Competition after it spun a bearing and locked up. He rebuilt it and installed new injectors close to 30k miles ago. I have not found any connectors or screws misplaced when I changed plugs a while back or when changing coolant hoses. Car has been rock solid. Every shop will have unhappy customers, but TJ also has many HAPPY customers. You always here more about the problem cases than the good outcomes.
