Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti charging me for 8 fuel injectors for a 6 cylinder car

This is my blog about how Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti has lied to me, broken promises, overcharged me for parts, did bad work, and refused to pay for damages. Have you ever been epically screwed over before by a company? This company did it to me.  The short version is that I took my car to him and asked that it be done in 3.5 months.  After paying $8k and getting my car back two years later, I take it to another mechanic to be checked out and the entire engine has to be rebuilt again.  The new mechanic found that the head gaskets had blown and that the camshaft and front camshaft bearing was bad.  The long version is this entire blog.

Colletti Motorsports charged me for 8 fuel injectors when my car is a 6 cylinder.  My car, by the way, is a 1987 Buick Grand National.  Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti  charged me $600 for a set of 8 - 50lb/hr injectors when he could have gotten better ones from any reputable Turbo Buick supplier cheaper. I am having 6 - 60lb/hr injectors installed for a total price of $425.00 at KDK Performance (more performance too), but Colletti Motorsports opted to make me spend more money for some reason, for less performance.  When I told him of this, he offered no apology or refund.  How inept do you have to be to do something like that?  Oh, I'm sure he was not inept.  I am sure he did it on purpose.  You see, many of these shady mechanics have only one supplier they work with.  That way they get incentives and "kickbacks" from their dedicated supplier.

Colletti Motorsports charged me $234.00 for the Number 2 and 3 Forged Main Caps.  I found them for $160.00.

Colletti Motorsports charged me $295.00 for Comp Cam and Lifter.  I found them for $219.00.

Quite a mark up for these parts, and I did not even go through the entire list.  Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti is certainly a ripper off-er.  His actions have proven it.
