Scott’s Hot Rods And Customs

I think I wrote a review on the wrong page sorry idk how to delete it I’ll give you a few stars for the trouble. You sound shady as hell tho. Posting a 5 star review after you get a bad one and also shaming your costumers for posting bad reviews makes you look like a dick head just saying. That not what Unilocal for at all. There’s no reason to talk shit to your costumers. Maybe make them happy and they will post better reviews just saying. You know it’s OK to be wrong and actually being able to admit it and fix it is probably one of the best virtues you can have. Tell me how I can delete this post and I will.

This place sucks. Two thumbs down. Justin is a ripoff. He will sit there in his chair and lie right to your face. He destroyed my truck. Let’s start at the front. The steering linkage was binding up causing me to almost get into several accidents. He didn’t put lock tight on any bolts so when I took it to a professional he showed me the bolts were almost ready to fall out. I ordered a crate motor from Jegs. Justin put it in and told me there was oil in the coolant and that I had a cracked block. He charged me to install the engine. Then he wanted to charge me to take it out and send it back to Ford. I was so pissed when I talked to Ford because they called bullshit on Justin and said the engine was tested and good. When I told Justin this, miraculously the engine was fine and he told me it probably had oil in it from shipping, another lie. He put the batteries in the back which made no sense at all and then zip tied the transmission fluid line to the positive battery cable causing my truck to burst into flames while I was driving it on the 101 fwy. Next he used silicone when he put the carburetor together causing it to clog up everything. His rear end four link suspension was put in with only ¾″ of clearance causing the rear differential to smash up my bed. Listen, I could go on and on about what a crappy place this is but I think you get the point. Jeff who runs the front and the receptionist are both awesome and deserve better. My point is, my truck blew up with ME in it. I am incredibly lucky to be alive. My insurance ended up suing him and winning proving his negligence in the matter. My recommendation before dealing with Justin is to ask around, ask any hot rodder what their opinion is of Scott’s Hot Rods and they will cringe. Also, look them up on the Better Business Bureau and see for yourself. Run, don’t walk, run far away from this place!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Justin about their Nova IFS suspension. Justin took all the time in the world to explain their product and refused to bad mouth their competitors. This was very professional. I love that all their stuff is made in house and what parts they buy are all USA made.
I have called back and spoke with Justin about possibly having them make the rear suspension for my 63 Nova SS. Again Justin was very informative and made me comfortable knowing I’m having the right company helping me build my car.
The price was more than I wanted to spend but I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for!!!
Now the only hard part is waiting for the front clip. It’s like a kid waiting for christmas to get here. Thank you Justin!!!
As for Marcus it’s clear he’s a complainer and should be viewed as such. I’m picky on where I spend my money and Scott’s Hotrods will always get my business.

LOL @ Marcus E’s review and the fact that anyone can post anything on Unilocal.
Marcus Edel from Jem Klassics had his employee David (also a friend of our company) order a pedal assembly for a 40 ford frame mount pedal assembly with brake only. David told us that he needed a brake only pedal assembly and that he was going to adapt the factory clutch pedal to our brake pedal assembly. We told him it wouldn’t work, but David said that his boss, Marcus, insisted that he would make it work somehow.
The pedal was sent up there and it did not work as expected. We decided that we would help them by building a different style (free of charge) that may work a little better. This was only because David was a friend of ours. We also offered them the option of returning it. Marcus decided he would rather attempt to make it work. We asked that the first pedal be returned to us so that we could put it back in stock.
Within 3 days Marcus called to our office and began swearing at our office manager. She became upset and passed Marcus on to me. Marcus began using expletives because he said he was missing a remote line kit. I explained to him that it was a back ordered item, but he was welcome to try and source it local if he would like a refund. He opted to wait. As soon as the line kit’s were back in stock, it was shipped directly to him with no delay. During that time I spoke with Marcus no less that 4 times. All 4 times he used foul language and attempted to «bully» whomever it was on the phone. Again, he was offered a refund if he did not want to wait for the items to be back in stock.
Timeline:
on 2−10−14 his order was placed.
on 2−26−14 his order was shipped less back ordered items
on 3−04−14 his second custom pedal was made and shipped
on 3−19−14 his back ordered items were shipped
To this date, the original pedal assembly has not been returned and Jem Klassic still owes us $ 170.10
David (his former employee) explained to us that this is a very common thing for Marcus to do and that he not only has he defamed our business, but he does it to others as well.
Marcus is simply an internet bully that enjoys writing bad reviews. Of his 6 Unilocal reviews, 2 are negative and 1 is on his own business. Unfortunately, Unilocal,Google, and all of the other review sites will let anyone post anything without recourse…

Sucks! Horrible customer service and flakey!
