Default A Friendly Warning to other Fellow Car Enthusiasts

I know this is my fist post here, put I have been a longstanding member of Supraforums.com and have met a few Lexus owners from some of the Toyota/Lexus meets here in Florida. If I'm posting in the wrong section, I apologize, as I didn't see a proper location. I own a 94 Supra Turbo and recently hired a guy named Stanley Souffrant to work on my car. Needless to say, it was a HUGE mistake. I just wanted to warn other car owners about this person, since he also works on Lexus'. He had a guy's green Lexus that he was going to work on, but fortunately I got a chance to talk to the guy before Stanley got a chance to rip it apart.

My post is on Supraforums.com in the Florida section: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...21#post4496421

Apparently, Stanley did bad work in NY as well. I feel it necessary to warn others of the potential damage that he will inflict on your vehicle.

BEWARE OF STANLEY SOUFFRANT AKA STAN DA MAN

It was really sad how he pretended to know so much, yet knew nothing at all about tuning and performance. Other people came out of the woodwork and told me more about him and how he did shady mechanics. Please people, stay away from this guy. He is now in S Florida, but who knows where he'll end up next. He is associated with a guy down in Hialeah/Miami at a place called Project 51. The place can't be legit, since I tried to get a number from the operator and tried to MapQuest it with no result. I went there though, and it used to be called Image Racing. At least that was what the sign on the outside said. The guy who owns Project 51 said he was in the process of changing the sign, as the guy who owned Image Racing moved out. I'm not sure what the story is, I just know if this guy trusts Stanley, then they are both bad news.

Stay far away from both of them.

Hey how are you? Don't you have the same screen name over on Supraforums? I know I've met you before because I remember the screen name, I just can't remember your real name, sorry. I used to live in Atl, I have a black 94 Supra. I met you at one of the meets.

Yeah, it's much harder trying to form meets here in FL. Atl was much more fun and had great participation. People are more lax here since there are events going on in different parts of the state.

Don't worry, even if you don't own a Lexus....you've come to the right place.
Here on CAR CHAT we talk, live, breathe, eat, and sleep cars day and night, around the clock....not just Lexuses and Toyotas, but anything new or old with four or more wheels....even motorcycles in some cases. 1SICKLEX, bitkahuna, flipside, and myself even do automotive reviews here.

I've been meaning to come here or a couple of weeks. I just wanted to raise awareness about bad service so others won't get burned.

Check my post @ Supraforums for more updates. Apparently, Stanley has burned others and is a wanted man.
