ISN'T THAT SWEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!----DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

listen dispute that cc transaction soon he's just trying to make you put it off until its to late. do you think his web sight got flooded to. good luck zano

Yall haven some big water aint ya. :wink:

OK. I've recently gone through living hell with Bret. I live in Fort Collins so there's no mail-order situation, you get the same thing walking through the front door.

DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING HE TELLS YOU. He told me the same garbage about his phone box getting flooded- I don't think so, that's not the way things work around here. All local vendors are stopping his charge account, phone's shut off for non-payment, same with the website. His employees bitch because people come by and yell at them for Bret's actions. How about his cell phone number? Here- 970-222-6866. He's a true con artist, the kind that will instantly defuse an angry person when they walk in the door. Once again, don't believe anything he says, he is an expert at making up stories that people fall for.

He finished my engine 3 months after he said it would be done and that was with taking a lot of time off work and stopping by multiple times per week. When I stopped to pick my stuff up (after spending several hours in the incredibly dirty, disorganized shop) he couldn't find my cam, lifters and timing set- they grew legs and walked off. Then to make matters worse he said I could write one check to be deposited immediately and leave him another signed check for the remainder that he PROMISED would only be taken to the bank when I said so and he was OK with that taking a couple weeks since all parts were paid for long ago. Well guess what, he deposited the check without any notification of any sort, which completely tanked my checking account- multiple overdraft fees went with all this. I stopped in this morning angry as hell and he put on his nice guy hat and promised to take care of everything, even saying he'd bring me cash in person at my workplace later in the day. You guessed it- no phone call, no nothing.

I have contacted the BBB and am thinking about notifying the police, unfortunately for me he did have a signed, dated check.

Bret if you're reading this SCREW YOU PAL you're gonna get what's coming to you, karma's a mean SOB.

If you have anything there get it now, it can't be long before this POS locks his doors.

BOWERS RACING ENGINES

I HAVE A BOWERS 540 STREET ENGINE WITH THE SOLID ROLLER CAM.I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE WITH THE SAME ENGINE COULD PROVIDE ME WITH THE CAM SPECS SINCE IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE ENGINE AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY SPEC OR DYNO SHEETS.I HAVE ALSO NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH MR. BOWERS TO ASK HIM MYSELF.MY ORDEAL WITH BOWERS IS DITTO TO EVERY NEGATIVE POST ON THIS TOPIC FROM MISSING PARTS THAT I PAID FOR,AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE, TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE.I HOPE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS THE UNFORTUNATE PLEASURE IN DEALING WITH THIS LIAR.

probably he billed thru a dentist friend because he lost his credit card terminal privileges

THis is not legal to do.....one business cannot charge through another business on any credid card.... if he has a bad cc reader, they will replace it next day..... dont beleive this he is charging stuff to your cc number.
get this resolved before it is too late.....

I HAD BRET BOWERS BUILD ME AN ENGINE AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT I HAVE RAN IT FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT STILL RUNS MID 11:00 I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK AND HAD IT CHECKED IT OUT AND EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT.

Flooded his phone box at the shop and he's had the phone company out there the past few days trying to fix it. He's planning to ship me the remainder of my parts which facilitates my mock up into the car, that helps tons. He also stressed he needs to be with there when we start up the car which eases my mind. Thats a good sign that he'll stick behind his work. Thanks for your guys input and hopefully all your issues are sorted out!

The phone compnay was out there for a few days huh :lol: :lol: He needs to be there when you start the car huh :lol: :lol: Sir you must not be reading all the posts in this thread or else you would STAND BY til you had...I really do hate the thought that Brett Bowers is going to ZAP you, but I can see the writing on the wall.... Please do your homework on this subject and grab your money and haul ass before they get the "phones repaired in a few days"....
