Anyone heard an opion about AUTO DESIGN HAUS in Allston?

?

Having already made it clear that my opinion is biased, they are a great bunch of guys who do good work. They can pretty much handle any job.

What are you looking to have done?

i used to go there a lot when harold lee owned it

he always had cool gear but he was a rip off artist

now that the new guys own it, it seems they do good work
but they dont have much of a showroom

My experiences are older but they sucked back in the day.

Originally that's where i got my HID's and projectors from. Use to buy all my stuff from Orlando when he was working there.

But, lately I've been hearing that Nima (the owner) has been having major cash problems. He wrote a couple of bad checks over at Rim and Wheel Works in Newton, and never paid them for the work they did. Also he's been taking customer deposits for orders but never fullfilling them.

I would say if you want to buy anything, talk to Jeff over at RPM.

I used to live in the area they are in (Allston), and I wouldn't go to them. I'd rather get stuff from someone on this forum, online, or a reputable dealer in the suburbs.

Im not looking to buy from them, just get a install done...are they going to do a good job with that?

[BAVARIAN323i]

They said they'd install my suspension for 175 which is the best price i've heard

[John@BPG]

They caused about 8,000 dollars worth of damage to my M3 doing a simple gauge install. Luckly I got it covered under warrenty and didn't have to go after them. They installed the oil return valve on my supercharger backwards, started the car and flooded the engine with oil and fried the supercharger from lack of any oil, luckly I had the Dinan warrenty on the supercharger. When I picked it up there only comment was it was running a little funny and that if it doesn't get better I should get it checked out.

They also ripped me off of an 800$ deposit I put down for a ACS front bumper they never got and they happened to lose all record of my deposit.

Unfortunetly, I am very good friends with the owner of the shop that used to be were ADH is now located and thus somewhat know the owner of ADH now, they were recommended to me by my friend after BPG closed down, so I have never publicly said anything about them before, but enough time has passed since the incident that I don't have those reservations anymore.

Perhaps things have changed since then. (Was over two years ago) if they are under new ownership and have a new mechanic.

Oh Sh*t....

I made an appointment with them this saturday...

I really think it would be hard for them to f*ck this up...and I dont think i want to pay twice as mch to haev some other joe put it in. I will be with these guys the whole time watching....sh*t now i'm nervous

You can always try Invisible Touch in Chestnut Hill.... they do a decent job and Edwin is pretty cool.

[BAVARIAN323i]

He seemed cool, but the price was a little high...

[Max M3]

I had a bad experience with them as well.... supposedly simple install.... wouldn't go back there if you paid me. In response to "but they had the best price", I can only say the obvious... you get what you pay for!

[BAVARIAN323i]

true - what did you have done and when?

[DocWyte]

ADH blows super monkey chunks. Extremely expensive for parts, and their installations make a blind one armed monkey look proficient. Stay away from them and that other place on Comm Ave, RPM or something...

Thanks
