Each to their own but AA were very good to me during my engine builds and i couldn't ask for better service. Also gave up a weekend to put together a new engine for our modified drag car when it threw a leg out of bed a few seasons ago. That is good customer service.

If we are doing for and against for different shops I'd like to put one against A.D.S as they were f***ing useless.

Broke one of my JUN cams ( Then proposed we go halves on a replacement) And when i said that wont be good enough they went ahead and ordered one but they ordered a 272 to replace my 264 and then shimmed the head up to suit the wrong cam while they were at it!!!!!!!! While i was changing the cam to the correct one i found that they had chewed out the thread on one of the bolts that hold the cam in and it was hanging by a thread and on top of all that they charged me a motherload to get the rest of the work done. I will most certainly be avoiding them in the future because charging me more than the agreed price because they had problems that THEY CAUSED in the first place and then i find out they have replaced the broken part with whatever cam they could find for the right price just isn't good enough.

See Mrsparkles I had a similar issues with AA, and they didn't do things I asked them to do and arrrrrrrrr don't get me started. BUT i believe that these issues could have been a once off. Every company makes mistakes every now and then. what I have learnt is do not pay a cent to any company until you have inspected and MEASURED every thing a company has been asked to perform.

So everyone is happy with southsides then ?

So everyone is happy with southsides then ?

Have heard a few scary stories but with the volume of work they get through, some of those stories don't surprise me.

They are also the only mob that would weld my crank up.

so dropped my gear off at southsides today, ended up getting a couple extra things done as well whilst i was there, all in all very happy with the service price and the expected turn arround time,
