Zamboni's?

quicksig · 06-06-2008, 11:56 PM

Without starting one of those "...they blew up my car" vs "...I'd trust the shop with my life" threads, has anyone heard of Zamboni's Speed & Custom in the Riverview/Gibsonton area? Only reason I ask is that I'm considering buying a truck they built/tuned/dyno'd but have never heard of them. From what I've seen of the truck, looks professional but they aren't shy about spinning an Eaton! If they're reputable I'd feel a lot better about it...from what little is on their website they do a lot of mod motor/lightning stuff and are a diablosport dealer...didn't get much else.

Thanks!

If its a truck they built stop by and talk to Mike, good people for sure and top notch shop.

I hear nothing but good things, and they show up with some nice cars at the track.

Good luck with this place. They are closed. Went there looking for dyno time and the place is closed, stopped by another shop in the same area to ask questions and that guy got the shaft from Mike too, while there a couple of Hillsbrough detectives stopped by looking for him. Mike has current warrants out for him and his wife has an arrest record for identy theft from last May. Heard they split for Tenn.

Beware!

What's the last name?

quicksig · 07-08-2008, 09:44 PM

yep...dug a little more and turns out they must have just installed a couple small parts on the truck and had not built it. they did close (rather suddenly) and the owner is now out of state. i'm pretty glad i hadn't stopped by there a few weeks earlier...
