    - Comments/Review/Feedback:

    Initial Ayham was very thoughtfull and answered all my call and doubts but as the job delayed in to a 6 weeks marathon(gearbox delivery added some of this time) the service detiorated , no answerded calles, ridiculouse excusses for the delays, no replies to email or texts.
    The delivery date was pushed leveral days with unbelievable excusses.
    Eventually I toke the day and literally sat in the workshop from morning until evening untill they finished the job.

    I had to procure most of the parts (gearbox included).

    I could eventually live with the delays and the shady nature of the comunication with DAS.

    But what I cannot stand for is imporper work at premium prices.

    ACTUAL WORK DONE PROBLEMS!

    1.Starter Motor was badly installed! Dowelpin was put agains the face of the Gearbox bellhousing!
    (detected some weeks later as the starting sound was funny) fortunattly I hadnt run the car after bringing it back from DAS.

    2.Badly installed Differential Front Bushing. Eventually Failled (Jan 2016 only 8000km later)
    Spoke with the Part supplier Revshift and they confirm that there is missing a washer in the instalation.

    INVOICE PROBLEMS!

    3. Phantome charges
    Ayham claims some charges for clearing the Gearbox from customs.
    I am yet to receive the invoices for the full amount I payed related to customs clearance of the (gearbox).
    Have sent countless emails and whatsapps and texts on this. Not even a reply from Ayham after I payed.


    4.Charging 4 liter to bleed off brakes

    The worst was that when contronted Ayham with that he said that the Units on the invoice were not Liters!! and he could not tel me what units were! an unbelieveble phone conversation.
    If all had gone smothly I would have forgone this one but as soon as you start distrusting a person or company you start doubting all.
    I snapped a pic of the oil can that was in the workshop

    Conclusion:
    As I no longer trust them to touch my car! Didn't not complained about the diff bushing or the starter motor.
