MALEK @ MRF Engineering

Longboarder · 04-22-2013, 04:51 PM

Just saw this thread.

Malek had done all the mods on my car (supercharger, brakes, exhaust, etc). He even designed the x-pipe I'm using.

Has been extremely professional and accomodating...even when I was using him initially for small projects on my 335. He even threw in stuff for free even though I was spending very little $$ at that point.

My M3 has been 100% reliable and free from any issues whatsoever. And as you guys probably know (since I post up about it), I have beaten the snot out of this car. In only a few months of ownership, this car has been tracked multiple times, and has run 3 different airstrip events. It has performed flawlessly.

This car is an absolute beast already and I'm about to take the final step in modifications as my camber plates arrive and I finally decide on what suspension to run.

Thanks for all the help and long hours of meticulous work Malek!

Malek was awesome via PM whenh helping me get proper alignment specs for my auto-x setup.

Nothing but help.

I've never heard so much bullshit in one place before! Malek is a stand-up guy who has been nothing but professional and courteous with me from the beginning! He does excellent and meticulous work and he is a perfectionist as other have said. His work really does speak for itself! We appreciate everything you do for this community Malek!

I have also had great experiences with Malek. He has done fantastic work on my car and has a very high attention to detail.

I have found Malek to be very friendly but not in a salesman sort of way. He is not a salesman, he is a no-nonsense, focused sort of guy (and I mean that as a compliment). I never saw that as rude. If I were in his position (small shop without a staff person to answer calls and handle scheduling) I would find it annoying that someone would call expecting immediate service. That's not realistic and I just wouldn't expect any shop to fit me in their schedule immediately. And what's the big rush anyway??

You missed my first post explaining that I understood he had other business to handle. I'm not expecting him to jump through hoops for me at all. But if I have a limited window of time (lunch hour) and I'm simply asking if he can fit me in then why is the customer the asshole if the only time he has doesn't work out?

I had zero issues with him saying he's busy. It's the added comment that pissed me off. That said, Malek reached out to me to apologize for our misunderstanding and so I'm over it.

ILMSKU... you seem to have a pretty obvious agenda. you've been posting this same story everywhere. knowing malek and the quality of work he does and his utter professionalism I would bet serious money that the problem lies with YOU.

drop your vendetta and move on.

I have been taking my car to Malek for jobs off and on and I have not only learned a lot, but my car has ran flawless. Some of those jobs would be : installing xpipes, adjusting my kw sleeve kit, special alignment, coding, track prep, and even let me store my street tires in his shop for months for free! his next job will be installing a ess supercharger and have nothing but confidence that he can handle it. (especially after seeing numerous other forum members cars being worked on for the same modification) Good job Malek
