If you just used the 944 Turbo Facebook group it's possible you wouldn't know the full history on a vendor. I've noticed the Facebook car groups are like the early wild west days of Internet forums before the posters built up a shared history of which vendors are good and which bad.

Sorry to hear but gotta say, not surprised. All of us long timers here know about Broadfoot and tried to warn you...

A freaking night mare man I can't make this sh**t up if I wanted it is insane !!

My experience with them is they are very slow.
I ordered my Turbo, mount and all of the hoses and accessories to fit a GTX turbo to our cars and it took him 4 months to get that to me. So Parts wise I think they are a good, but I would never hire them to build an engine for me.

It is hard to believe these people stay in business. They are not good people. I have my own tale of Broadfoot dealings.

Lawsuits suck as do small claims matters because winning and collecting are two different things. If they slander you in a public forum you may have an action there or a strong threat of action which may benefit you. A letter from an attorney (local/Jacksonville) may be of value.

Get your stuff and get out, it's a ton of money and unfortunately an expensive lesson.

I am very big on asking for referrals these days. I stick with a few close friends for mechanical work and race set up. Lindsey & Lart have been a couple of the standouts for parts.

Good luck to you. Man I hate hearing so many bad stories about these jerks.

951Blur, it took 4 months to get your parts and you think that's "good"? That's bad, parts should be to you within the week if they're in stock...

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Like I said they were extremely slow. But in their defense the parts are second to none. The billet Mount they made me and the braided stainless hoses are first rate.

4 months for delivery is an insane amount of time. no customer should have to wait that long, unless they've been told something is backordered and then it should be drop shipped. i probably would have canceled the order and gone with another vendor.

Sounds just like them they always have some lame excuse .. I've gotten so many excuses blames it on everything but him

It only took two weeks to get a turbo down pipe fabricated and shipped to me. Sorry you had such a bad experience.

I know this situation from following the posts on FB and it's sad to hear this as the conclusion. I have purchased parts from Albert and he has delivered on time.I am not at all negating your sons experience and I believe your narrative to be true but Albert takes time because he is a craftsman,tuning may not be his forte but building 944 motors is. How many other people can we go to with 30 years of daily 944 experience.? I have over 10k in performance parts ready to go into my 86 951 and was planning on sending it outbthis year,just not ready to pull the trigger and stories like this make me hold off even more. Who has a perfect reputation these days? Ile give them my business,seems like it's all a gamble with these sometimes. At least now it's behind you and you can enjoy your new addition to the family,congratulations.Good luck.God bless.

It's not the fact it took just about 2 years well even tho that is crazy .... It's way they talked to me very disrespectfully, and ignored me . Who disrespects a customer a current customer while you actually have their vehicle. Won't pick up my phone calls you actually blocked me on Facebook and I have over $20,000 I sent to you and you wouldn't only take a wire transfer .. It honestly blew my mind the way he spoke to me. I would also get many messages from other people show me screenshots of him saying A ton of nasty things about me. He would post updates on Facebook about my car trying to show off his work but yet will not contact the customer to let him know these things because he blocked me.. I also have a saved voicemail of his wife cursing me out... Anyways There are so many other details I probably left out due to this long period of dealing with them, I have been wanting to write a review for sometime now I also could not say anything due to they had my car and who knows what they would've done if I started talking... He had me by the ***** had my money and my car I really wish I could've wrote a review like this - communication is horrible and he is very disrespectful but the guy builds an awesome motor.. just wanted to share my story so other people do not have to go through this.. But yes my new addition was actually born on my birthday how awesome was that!!!

I recently had Albert Broadfoot go through my 1986 951 from front to back. I wasn't in a hurry as this is a play car for me, so time wasn't an issue. I was very happy with the communication and quality of workmanship. Texting is a way of life nowadays, and I have no issue with a vendor using it to keep me up to date on my project.

Damn I get back on and this is what I see. I'm surprised this guy is not in jail.
