Default Do not buy from SO CAL TUNING

Just a word of wisdom, Shawn Ellis at So Cal Tuning in Anaheim is a rip off. I recently purchased a Teksid aluminum block from him on ebay, paid $275 with shipping, and he never sent it, doesn't return phone calls or email now. I tried to dispute with paypal, but they are not able to recover the funds at this time.

His ebay screenname is ocz06.

After being screwed by Mr Ellis, I did some research and looks like he has a pretty bad rep in the industry. Wish I had researched him before sending him money!


PS - this is not my first post here... my old acct must have gotten wiped out due to non-use.

Default So cal tuning - i second that!

stylin99 -

I can't believe it! I thought it was just me and just my own misunderstanding with Shawn. I have been to his "SoCalled Tuning" shop in Anaheim twice and wow did I pay for it (literally!). Never ever again will I go to this guy. Anyone locally in SoCal shouldn't either. Details are not necessary, but it is nice to know that what I felt after going to Shawn is valid.

This is my first post since joining! Take care.

I say we all go down there and protest his shop and let the people who walk in there know how a crook he is how do guys like that stay in business anyone have a picture of him to post it we should have a page just for exposing ripoffs with pictures.

Well sorry to hear your misfortune, but thanks for the heads up.
Don't know this guy as I'm new to the area, but don't have any use for him already.
