2 days later my clutch dies at atco, slave leaked all the fluid into the bellhousing and i had no pedal. had it towed home and then towed back to ecs. they put my original slave back in for free and gave me the 80 bucks back, but it took them a week. i called on a friday morning and they said it would be done, i called back at 4pm and it wasnt. they then called me at 9:30pm and said " your cars done can you come get it now, because we have an open house for our vette customers and we cant have any f-bodys taking up space, especially one in this condition"
they have a nice shop, they do good work, and they backed up their work when it broke.....but their attitudes toward me will keep me from going back

Having taken my car to numerous speed shops over the years, I know what is common in the good ones and the bad ones. Word of mouth can make a company, and it can destroy it. Really bad shops would've over charged you, broke something, and then expect you to pay for it, have your car leave their shop overcharged, and underpowered, and then have your motor blow up, only which after they tell you, "well it had mileage on it, it could've gone anythime" (this is a long dramatic story to which I am just scratching the surface of just one bad experience I have had. Others that might not be as bad would be one that charged me $500 to try to see if the opti was bad, only to tell me the couldn't find out. Good companies tell you a price and stick to it, if something goes wrong with your car do to them they fix it for free or give you your original money back, or in some cases both. I will tell you that pretty much all companies both good and bad will always take longer than they originally told you. Being a Corvette shop, I can't say it surprises me they wanted your F-body out of the shop, since they specialize in Vette's and generally speaking the Vette guys spend more money. I think they could've been a little nicer to you, but is sounds like they at least took care of you in the end for the most part.
How were they price wise for everything?
