Business ProfileforSouthwest Speed LLC

**** the owner of Southwest Speed was supposed to do a new engine build on my 1991 GMC Jimmy, we starting planning the build on Jan 13,2021. **** assured me he could do the work so I gave Southwest Speed three payments of $15,000, $5,000 and $2,600 to get some parts ordered so we could start the build. He gave me receipts and receipt numbers. I was told the parts would take some time because of Covid. I have never been contacted on the progress of the parts or when the truck would be started. He is never at his office to answer questions. No parts were ever ordered and he moved to a new location with 0 communication. He doesn't acknowledge the three payments and blames his employees for everything. He now doesn't want to finish my truck and doesn't want to refund me my money for parts/service I never received. My truck has been waiting to get everything installed for 2 years now. I was trying to give Southwest Speed the benefit of the doubt because of Covid and everything but I am getting taken advantage of. This has been the worst experience and I wouldn't recommend Southwest Speed to anyone. I even referred my friend ** to him and he is dealing with the same situation after spending $20,000 at his shop also. I wish I could get a refund for my time but that is already gone. I finally got ahold of **** and went to his office and he had me pick up my engine from his shop and never gave me my $22,600 or my parts. I need that money to finish the truck at a real automotive shop. My truck is at a stand still and this is not how business should be conducted. All I wanted was for my high school truck to be finished but now I am dealing with this.
