Got the ls4/4T65 engine mount and transmission mounts for my feiro swap. Got the brackets in a timely manner, but when pulled out of the box one engine bracket was taped with writing on it grind to fit, tried bolting 2 transmission brackets didn't even get the bolts all the way in and they pulled threads out due to the holes being offset/drilled wrong. All the pictures on the website are useless can't tell where 2 brackets go at all due to not having them pictured. Thought I was buying a kit to save me time and ended up costing me more time and money. If I could leave a 0 star review I would. I should've just made my own brackets and not wasted money on this joke of a kit. VERY UNSATISFIED

Because of plans I made with Chris West at West Coast Fiero, I acquired a low mileage, clean 1988 Fiero GT with T-Tops for an engine swap, along with other, extensive customization. I had planned to invest $20K+ with him, over several types of upgrades. For the engine / trans (phase 1) We agreed that I would acquire a low mileage LS4 engine and transmission, ship them to his shop and hire him to perform the swap and supercharge the LS4 engine. I spent thousands of dollars in acquiring the engine / trans, rebuilding the trans, upgrading and shipping them to Chris, etc. I also sent Chris the $8K+ he requested from me, to perform the labor and acquire the supercharger kit. Once he had the parts and the money, the excuses began. For one reason or another, he either did not have the time or the resources to begin my project. Fast forward 18 months of this... I decided to cancel the project and request a refund. To my dismay, he then informed me that he had spent all my money on other things and that he had NO IDEA if/when he will be able to pay me back! I was blown away and very worried, I shared this with Chris, he did not care and hung up the phone. I am now having to sue him to try and recover my money... so disappointed.

BUYER BEWARERefused to issue a refund, even after I returned their box of McMaster parts (their definition of "custom"). Had to raise a dispute with my credit card company and won.

So far, so good! Their parts have been top notch, and shipping has been extremely fast. Haven't experienced any kind of delays with my orders, and they've been quick to respond to any questions about their products.Update 10/4/2021: Two instances of parts being made incorrectly, with promises to send new ones, but neither ever arrived. People skills not always the best either. Tend to be talked down to, regardless of my own knowledge/expertise. Parts are definitely still high quality; just a little hit and miss on the details.

They welded an aluminum radiator for my K5. Older gentleman did a good job, same day turn around and was reasonably priced.

I ordered their A/C Lines thinking they would drop into my project. I received piece parts literally in a relabeled box from McMaster Carr. The owner called me a liar about what was on their own website. Then, they changed their website to state "assembly required. I won a dispute with my credit card company, and they had to pay the fees.Up yours, Chris!!

I have ordered 2 separate items from this supplier & the first one took around 3 weeks to show up, it was a stainless steel pipe for a 3800SC swap, it came with 2 pieces of short rubber coolant hose for install & you could obviously tell they had been cut from a longer piece, the cuts weren't even straight & it looked liked the used the corner of a cinder block to cut them, the 2nd thing was a top dog bone mount for a 3800SC swap, I put the order in @ 10pm August 3rd, so that would mean that first thing on the morning of the 4th it would be getting processed, I called to touch base on August 15th & a gentle man said it was getting shipped out the next day and that he was very sorry because they are very understaffed, on August 23 I still haven't received my mount, I live in Northern Colorado so I figured it can't take more than a week for shipping from California to me so I called again only to find out that the mount is still being machined and should be ready to ship out tomorrow, the person I spoke with didn't even care that I was given wrong information about when the part was supposed to be shipped out, in fact he didn't even say a word to me after I told him my part was supposed to be in route to me more than a week ago. Terrible customer service, terrible shipping times and so far the parts I have purchased from them are barely satisfactory, I will update this as soon as I receive the mount and leave a review on it. Dog bone motor mount finally on August 29th, one side of the mount did not fit in the bracket, so I called WCF, I explained how it did not fit & he explained to me that all I needed to do is grind some material off both sides of the polyurethane mount till it fits, I don't know about anyone else but I don't pay $140.00 for a direct bolt on part to have to machine it to fit, & besides that this problem could have been avoided if they would have taken the 5min it took me in my kitchen to find out the parts didn't fit together, overall ladies and gentlemen you are WAY better off using Rodney Dickmans parts than these people.

This shop it's run by absolute crooks. They will ignore refund requests, ignore emails, hold your money hostage for months. He will lie about the status of your order. He is currently holding 1700 dollars hostage and he hasn't even shipped my parts yet. 36 days ago my order was placed. Currently relying on a charge back to get my money back. DO NOT USE THIS SHOP. Actual criminals.

West Coast Fieros solved many perplexing issues for me, After wracking my brain trying to diagnose several issues myself, and with little luck, Chris Steve and Rick came to the rescue and fixed them. That includes a couple serious issues I didn't notice. Its definitely worth the four hour trip from San Diego. Plus they are fun to be with. I am so thankful to have their expert support and wise guidance.
