Default Whip Factory in Plainfield, IL STOLE MY MOTOR

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up if you plan on going to this shop. My motor blew in September so I had Whip Factory replace the it for me. I was happy with the work but staying in contact with these people is ridiculous, they aren't at the shop during their posted hours. So I get the motor swapped out and I ask them to hold onto the old one until I can pick it up with a friends truck. I took some trips to the shop before to pick it up but no one was there at those times. I let the shop know that I would be picking it up soon and that was last month. I finally have my friends truck available and when I call the shop to tell them I want to pick up my motor he tells me he threw it away. All that was wrong with it was a spun bearing, and this guy told me that no one wants a blown s2k motor (the head was completely fine) and that he just threw it out because I took to long. These guys shouldn't be trusted.

They threw it out even after you told them not to? That's shitty.

Tell them you want to be compensated for the head. Tell them $1000....watch your motor re-appear.

Document the dates that you tried to visit but they weren't open. If you still don't get paid or get your motor back, then get a lawyer.
