NEW MECHANIC IN TOWN for L.A. & valley area!

Guys,

Some many month ago I had posted yet another one of my typical rants whereby I encouraged owners to report bad mechanics/shops openly on the forum...together we can help eachother avoid bad shops AND reward good shops. Like a Better Business Bureau of our own. Accountability is a big thing.

Since that time I have met and come to know a gentlemen mechanic by the name of Damian Forbes, he owns/runs Fusion Motor Sports and I feel it's high time we expose this incredible guy for what he is: an honest, hard-working, eager-to-please talented mechanic!!!

First-off, Damian did not ask me to post this nor did he give me any special break in exchange for word-of-mouth, hardly; I had to practically beg him to let me take his picture and he was nervous & uncertain about me posting this, but we SoCaler's are a tight group and I feel he deserves some kind words.

Damian is a factory-trained technician and has worked on cars his entire life, he is equally familiar and at home with a modern Ferrari or well working on Craig's 400 (or whatever the hell that ancient beast is). I've seen him turning wrenches on million-dollar rare Ferrari's as well. He's also subcontracted by Auto Gallery as well, so who knows....perhaps he's worked on your car already!

When Damian found a broken component in my top's frame, he didn't buy the new part (at $2,000 + mark-up), he instead had a fabrication shop weld it using stronger metal & welding techniques...that alone saved me a couple thousand dollars. He talked me out of changing a slightly worn mount and a few other things: he's not about sell-sell-sell, he's about customer satisfaction and doing people right! If you're not happy, he's devastated.

When he worked on my car, it was masked with special tape and well protected by several thick tarps. All cars remain in the shop at night with a night guardsman...not out in the lot or tightly packed with other cars nearby.

Damian also took care of a lot of other things, most of which he tinkered with at no charge. He returns all phone calls, gives you updates and even sends email pictures. He has racing experience and really brings a lot to the table. I also enjoy his attitude, he's happy to answer questions, explain how things work and offer alternatives and ideas...no arrogance or attitude like some of the other shops.

You will never be told the part was replaced when it wasn't. You will never be sold more services then you need.....he's not a sales-manager looking to produce & harvest you. I sincerely feel Damian genuinely wants his customers to be happy, satisfied and drive away with a sense of confidence that he worked on your car with the same care & attention that you yourself would do (if we had the skills).

Accordingly, I FULLY endorse this man and can whole-heartedly put my vote of confidence in his service. Over the course of the last couple months Damian has more then earned this thread. Integrity, honestly and skill...enjoy!!

Who would have thought that one man's obsession with finding the right exhaust would also be another man's means to fund his daughters college tuition?

Yeah, Damian took off the Capristo and then installed the CS exhaust, then took off the CS exhaust and just put on the Larini.

It's cool, I had Damian install quick-disconnects on all the rear components so that we can swap exhaust almost as easy as.....CHANGING YOUR FAVORITE WATCH DEALER.

 

I dunno....I'll have to spin the "wheel of exhaust" to see which flavor comes up for this month.
