Rod Bearings in SoCal?

steven747 · 01-30-2022, 10:02 AM

If you know you know. If zolti still works at autotalent there is no surpassing his knowledge possibly anywhere in the country. Zolti rebuilds more M engines, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari engines on the daily than anyone. He knows our engines down to specific bolts. I had a seized engine after rod bearing failure and took it to zolti. He was doing 5 or 6 other complete and full s65/s85 tear downs of the complete block. It's been 9 years and about 60k miles. If you aren't sold stop by autotalent and ask to see the shop and melt over the quantity of high performance European cars going under engine tear downs or forced induction kits. If you know you know. Zolti

Yep. He did my rod bearings and a host of other stuff on my car.
I was there a couple month ago and he's still there with Sam.

Same here

mitrakhalilir · 03-12-2023, 03:22 AM

let's just say I will never go back to MRF or recommend anyone to them. and I have enough evidence to take them to court and win.

You have 3 posts on the fourms and your defaming a shop. I’m not saying that your 100% in the right or wrong but coming on the fourms and putting allegations out like that, you normally wanna post proof with it. MRF is a shop with a pretty large following so when someone comes on here and slanders them, a lot of people wanna know what happened/Is going on.

Lmfao

mitrakhalilir · 03-12-2023, 10:42 AM

here's another person that had a terrible experience with MRF I'm not the only one

mitrakhalilir · 03-12-2023, 05:57 PM

so now it seems that MRF is not the perfect place you all seem to think it is . and the way he runs his business is not very professional at all.

NeverL8 · 03-12-2023, 07:22 PM

Ok 2 dudes out of 1000s had bad experience.

I had MRF change my bearing plus other misc repairs on my old M3 and never had a hiccup. I would still trust him more than any other shop around.

I don't want to stir the pot anymore than what's needed but man your argument is ridiculous. If you're going to claim that a shop scammed you or did you wrong, it would be in your best interest, and the community as a whole, to provide evidence of what occurred. This lends credibility to your claim and also heeds warning to the community for their future shop considerations. Obviously, no shop is perfect and not every customer will come away from their experience satisfied, and that's okay.

As member AV9 said in this thread prior: "The love is warranted, brother. One job without any semblance of empirical proof that what MRF did caused the issue, can't be extrapolated to define the shop's entire reputation."

While there are many very good BMW mechanics around, the love for Malek and MRF does not come from a bunch of guys dickriding one shop for shits and giggles. There's a reason why people speak highly of him and his work, myself included. I don't have anything against other shops that I've been to and many others are in the same boat. However, Malek is very knowledgeable and his years of work have created a large following of customers whom trust him with their cars. There's a reason why his reputation precedes him

I wish you the best of luck with your open-and-shut court case. Maybe you'll have a better experience elsewhere.

So what happened? are you going to share details? Otherwise your comments are as worthless as "dont buy whatever car cuz I test drove it and it sucks"... aka worthless opinion

mitrakhalilir · 03-12-2023, 11:25 PM

I have emailed MRF and waiting on a response from him. I don't know if he really wants me to share all of my bad experience with everyone on here. if he doesn't care I will share everything I here.

yeh, i love hearing more lol.

i hear it enough already from my circle of friends and some from people ive meet on the forum.

another friend of mine lets say had to get a 4.6L stroker motor after going in for service - coincidentally. 2 years or so ago.

mitrakhalilir · 05-09-2023, 05:02 PM

okay everyone so I have caught MRF in multiple lies to me with evidence that I can prove. what would anyone of you do after getting lied to multiple times. I just didn't like the fact that they lied to me multiple times and cheated me for $3k. I stopped having a conversation with him after he kept going on with his lies.
