Abel Racing

DO NOT GO HERE! They will take your money and do not care about you. The remodel did not change anything. The staff or ethics has not changed. They will gladly charge you $700 for one hour of work. They charged me for a full dyno tune which I hardly received an hours worth of time on my car and did not touch the dyno. My car still runs terribly and nobody has treated me well. Andrei did not treat me well and will pick a fight with you over anything possible. I will be seeking judgement against you. I am 19 years old and work hard for my money, and was told it would be $400 for a break in tune instead of $700, due to him not fully understanding or taking the time to understand the car. See you in court!

I took my truck to this place hoping they would be a great shop. I went to school with one of the owners so I figured it would be a nice place to take it. They claimed and charged me for a dyno on my truck but there's was no result sheet. My vacuum line wasn't installed properly for my break booster.....I had a intake installed no tubing coming off of it. Just all around crappy work. No integrity. No pride. They had my truck for 4 weeks for a intake and stall converter and headers. . I'm having my transmission dropped just to make sure they put in the stall they claimed they did. I won't take anything of mine there again. $3,800 and I'm fixing their work.

5 stars for excellent service and quality of work.Top notch shop, and one of the best tuners in the country.Would trust with any of my cars and that's saying a lot!

Looks cool on garage rehab hope all the best in paying Richard his money back.Always work hard and you got this guys good luck.

I've been emailing back and forth with Michael about supercharging my 08 vette. He tells me to call him so I did. After a while talking with him he keeps asking me what my goals are. He keeps trying to upgrade everything to the max and I tell him my budget and that I need to stay within that. So we come to and agreement on a D1 pro charger tuned out the door for $6912. I asked Michael to send that quote to me in and email and he tells me he can't. That it's such a good deal he would not want to advertise that info. So I asked him they email what is the next step. He tells me to come down and put money down so they could order the kit. So I proceed to go down to the shop on my lunch to find out that Michael is not sure where he came up with that quote and the actual price to install/tune out the door price was just a tad over $840O. Needless to say I called him out on his slimy bate and switch price. All he was trying to do is get me down there and try to sell me even more upgrades. Don't start going down this road Abel racing! I have seen it before in the past and companies loose their ass. Customers word and experiences is what keeps you in business!

Hey Boys the shop looks amazing!! Thanks for having faith in Richard, Russell and Chris. They absolutely knocked this one out of the park . I wish you all the success in the world!! #garagerehab

If I could give them a zero I would. Terrible customer service and they scam you to keep spending money. Hopefully they are out of business.

Avoid this place at all costs. I had a pretty in depth build that I brought to Abel racing, which was to supercharge my truck and get some supporting engine work done, and in the end I had to scrap the entire project and sell it because of how big of a mess it was. I told Abel a budget of 18,000. Well after everything was all said and done I had spent 22,000$ and that's just the first bill, going over their initial quote Of 18,500 that I was given. Every time I would visit the shop, which was the only real way to get any answers as email and calls rarely happened, the truck would be sitting off to the side while some other project was being worked on. I know parts take awhile to get in and due to Covid, things could have gotten delayed, but I was originally told they ordered all the parts the day I put a down payment in and waited 2 weeks before dropping the truck off to ensure all parts were in. Even up to the last day, Abel was having to "next day air" parts either because something was missing or because they got the wrong part...I dropped my truck off with half down payment, and wasn't given an exact timeline, but after multiple visits and seeing the truck just sitting for weeks, the total time came out to just over 15 weeks to get forged internals, cam, and a procharger installed. During break in I had a severe oil leaks and was told first that the drain plug wasn't tight enough, then second time turns out the oil pan gasket was put on backwards, wtf?? After the second fix, it ran no leaks for awhile but started leaking after about a month. One thing to Note is that sometimes Abel will pawn off their engine work to other companies and blame lateness on that. I gave the truck back and had it returned with a fixed gasket, but it never really ran right. It always back fired and for the money I spent, didn't make much power or appeared to do so. On my third visit back, I told them it didn't seem to be making much power, and that Andre, the tuner at Abel, was keeping the tune down for safety, but even then i was suggested to run an oversized pulley at the crank so to spin the procharger faster and make more boost, when in fact I was having horrible belt slip and should have gone with a stage 2 kit as this just made the belt slip worse and make very little boost. I wasn't wanting to make any crazy amount of power as it was a daily driver but you would think as a procharger dealer, Abel would know all the tricks for getting a belt driven supercharger to perform well... I was also recommended to run e85 which was a big mistake on my part to listen as I then only had a range of 150 miles, terrible for a daily! After this I had a gauge installed, and instead of welding an addition bung in, they replaced one of my four o2 sensors and didn't even bother tuning it out so it threw codes for this. Laziness to the extreme! When I picked my truck up for the final time I discovered a dent in the passenger door, and when confronted, I was accused of lying, and that my truck was conveniently not in front of any cameras while in their possession so no proof. After getting the sensors fixed, I found that the knock sensor was unplugged as to avoid any additional tuning, and was left to dangle where the exhaust melted it, causing me to have to replace it for proper vehicle functionality. The tune on my ram 1500 was the worst part of all of this. I'm new to the vehicle modification scene but I don't believe a truck can be perfectly tuned with an all new fuel system and supercharged on just two iterations. I had my Abel tune looked at by two other professional tuners, and both said it was terrible and lazy trash. I have given Abel racing multiple chances to try and correct their mistakes but this entire ordeal was a big headache. The sad thing is that I spent about a month researching what shop you go to and Abel racing looked promising. I don't know if this was due to a lack of passion or a change in management but it is certainly not what it used to be. Go somewhere else especially if you have any dodge vehicles.

Had my car for almost a year and never did fix it finally my lawyer got possesion of the car
