The Drive Shaft Shop
Frank (owner) dont trust them and do not buy from them they rip people off i ordered billet they send forged

I have never felt like i should file a report about a company before but this company really burned me.
I contacted the drive shaft shop in feb. 2010 in search for a good price on a drive shaft for my street strip drag car (1970 monte carlo with a 454 bbc twin turbo) i got a price for a c/moly shaft with billet th400 yoke and billet pinion yoke with greasless spicer u joints i paid $720.55 for the complete set up by frank and made sure to repeat myself as to what i was going to be getting and frank said yes your going to be getting c/moly drive shaft with geasless spicer ujoints with billet th400 yoke and billet 12 bolt pinion yoke.
This is where i get ripped off a week later i call wondering if it shipped yet and they still did not ship my parts out so they got shipped out that day
when i recieved my drive shaft there was no billet pinion yoke and the th400 yoke they did send was a forged yoke not a billet yoke they painted the drive shaft and the yoke thinking this would hide the fact they sent me a forged th400 yoke,
they charged me $175 for the th400 yoke and $150 for the pinion yoke i havent recieved, i called and called and called i could not get ahold of Frank the owner he avoided me, i spoke with Tad and another guy and i kept getting the run around they said they sent the pinion yoke and it was in the box with the drive shaft well the box was empty no yoke,
at this point i started looking over the drive shaft thats when i was thinking if they could charge me for billet and send forged maybe the drive shaft isnt c/moly i have to take it to get it checked to find out but i did notice they are not spicer ujoints and the th400 yoke is not billet.
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT they offered to send me the pinion yoke if i would accept the forged th400 yoke and ujoints or they can me a refund if i returned everything but after read that they have ripped people off i decided to take the pinion yoke that was missing and was forced to accept being charged for billet and spicer for forged no brand, IF I SENT IT ALL BACK i would not have gotten a refund and would have taken more of a loss,
i have not installed any parts yet i need to have the shaft checked for balancing and the material its made of i also i have to buy a billet yoke and ujoints i thinking of just starting over buying from a more repitable company,
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AVOID BUYING FROM THEM,
AVOID THE PROBLEMS AND AVOID NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE FOR PARTS AND
NOT KNOWING IF YOU CAN TRUST THIS DRIVE SHAFT WITH YOUR LIFE GOING DOWN THE TRACK,
YOU SHOULD GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR BILLET IS BILLET NOT FORGED
LIKE ORDERING A HAMBURGER WITH CHEESE AND GETTING NO CHEESE AND FINDING OUT ITS NOT ACTUALLY HAMBURGER, GOOD LUCK
