Im posting this as a suggestion from a few members on here. When I first heard of elite I was warned but I thought “Hey they work on a lot of exotics. They cant be bad”. Well that thinking was wrong. I don’t know if they just don’t give a shit if its not exotic or what but here are a few issues.
I brought my car there for a JHM tune, Milltek catless DP install and alignment. My first quarrel when I picked the car up was I asked them when I dropped it off to raise the rear so it was the same ride height as the front (I have KW V3’s). It wasn’t off much but I wanted it raised a 1/2 inch or so. I told them I would pay if needed just do it. Well it wasn’t done. I was told that I would throw the alignment off that they already did if raised it so I just kept it. Nothing major but clearly lack of attention to detail.
Next up, about a week after picking the car up a good buddy said he thinks my exhaust is leaking. Didn’t sound right. So after bringing it to his friends shop (who wants to remain anonymous) he lifted it and found this.

I specifically asked for a weld to be done. They assured me they would. So what is this black paste on there. We decided to dig a little deeper.

We cleaned the paste off and discovered this

They literally welded half of it. IDK if they were that lazy and didn’t drop the exhaust or what. I couldn’t believe it. You may not have seen my thread on Audizine BECAUSE I posted it and within 4 hours elite reached out to me and offered me full refund IF I deleted the thread. I obliged.
This isn’t the only issue. I will update this thread over the next few days with a few friends of mine who have also have had issues. One being a ruined Tranny and the other a boost problem. Ill post pics and stories once they get them to me.
