I called proto motoring today and they completely made fun of my Japanese accent. they are complete jackasses and I hope they go OUT OF BUISNESS soon! They totaly neglected me and gave me crappy service and I encourage you to NEVER go there because they are stuck up and think there the shit.

*brndck* · 07-13-2009, 08:15 PM

i think the word you're looking for is "racist"

dino6192 · 07-13-2009, 08:18 PM

I thought everyone knew about this already. sorry to hear about your experience with PROTO MOTORING.

I too had a bad experience with them and I know of at least 10 other customers that had horrible work done to thier cars and had to pay even more money to get it fixed.

I purchased my car there a couple yrs ago and got totally ripped off. they promised clean looking work like a car that was sitting out front and I got shit.

they have had countless threads on here and other forums about thier quality of work.

DONT GO TO PROTO IN RIVERSIDE, CA!!

I would also be contacting a lawyer about racial discrimination in your situation.

udon! · 07-13-2009, 08:18 PM

Sorry english not too good lol

S14Cuhh · 07-13-2009, 08:23 PM

i tried to buy a bone stock hatch from them. fucking assholes made an appointment and never showed up..i drove 3 hour to some shithole out in the middle of nowhere to pick up my car. nobody answered.

94cc0rd · 07-13-2009, 09:22 PM

you should've done a quick search on proto motorssports on zilvia before you went there. i'm glad I did. i found like 30 threads where people were saying how bad they were.

protomotoring and expomotoring are the same companies, don't go to either of them. they are way overpriced and are very very shady.

evmal613 · 07-13-2009, 09:58 PM

evmal613 · 07-13-2009, 10:04 PM

i was lucky enough to find a clean coupe, but got ripped off in the process, not willing to bargain either with their already overpriced cars. Shady people.

expo motoring? like the expo motoring in Long Beach?? I've never been to protomotoing, but if its anything like expo motoring.... then hahaha that place is a joke... they sell 89 s13s with silvia fronts for like $8k... completely stock with a maaco-like paint job...

not impressed!

Nezahualcoyotl · 07-13-2009, 10:44 PM

wow... I'd probably go to the shop and see how crappy the cars for myself.

singlecamslam · 07-13-2009, 10:55 PM

Whats going on with humanity these days? Cant argue with stupid people. OP its ok i got made fun of my accent too when i came to America, tired of seeing crappy shops like Puto Motoring scaring people off of actually good quality shops.

ronmcdon · 07-13-2009, 11:30 PM

Come on, you should at the very least done a search before even calling them.
Be thankful they pissed you off on the phone, before even driving there.
Could have been a lot worse!

Shitty shops are probably more the rule, rather than the exception.
