Protomotoring is racist.

[udon!]

I called proto motoring today and they completely made fun of my Japanese accent. they are complete jackasses and I hope they go OUT OF BUISNESS soon! They totaly neglected me and gave me crappy service and I encourage you to NEVER go there because they are stuck up and think there the shit.

[brndck]

i think the word you're looking for is "racist"

[dino6192]

I thought everyone knew about this already. sorry to hear about your experience with PROTO MOTORING.

I too had a bad experience with them and I know of at least 10 other customers that had horrible work done to thier cars and had to pay even more money to get it fixed.

I purchased my car there a couple yrs ago and got totally ripped off. they promised clean looking work like a car that was sitting out front and I got shit.

they have had countless threads on here and other forums about thier quality of work.

DONT GO TO PROTO IN RIVERSIDE, CA!!


I would also be contacting a lawyer about racial discrimination in your situation.

[udon!]

Sorry english not too good lol

[S14Cuhh]

i tried to buy a bone stock hatch from them. fucking assholes made an appointment and never showed up..i drove 3 hour to some shithole out in the middle of nowhere to pick up my car. nobody answered.

[udon!]

they didnt believe my japanese accent and sayd they cant understand me that i am a disgrace and should go back to my own land if i cant english.

[94cc0rd]

you should've done a quick search on proto motorssports on zilvia before you went there. i'm glad I did. i found like 30 threads where people were saying how bad they were.

[ESmorz]

gave me crappy service

Isn't that standard?

[HyperTek]

Do you know who you where talking to? the owners are asian.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

^^ what's your point?

[tricky_ab]

How in the hell do shady ass shops like this stay in business?!?

[HyperTek]

i jus wanna know who he spoke to. Ill forward this info to them so it can be improved/resolved.

as long as there are fanboy's and a "scene", these shops will go on.

[charlie321]

protomotoring and expomotoring are the same companies, don't go to either of them. they are way overpriced and are very very shady.

[evmal613]

seriously!!! I bought my 91 coupe from them for an already overpriced 2600, and then wen i got home found out i owed another 500 bucks for registration they never told me about! A holes, dont ever go there, ever....I didnt know anything about proto until after i read shit about them. ugh

[cesar_240]

ya
same with me
went over to check out their cars and they were all crap
and overpriced
whoa evmal613 u from valencia

haha

[evmal613]

i was lucky enough to find a clean coupe, but got ripped off in the process, not willing to bargain either with their already overpriced cars. Shady people.

Hey cesar where abouts do you live?? haha thats funny

protomotoring and expomotoring are the same companies, don't go to either of them. they are way overpriced and are very very shady.

expo motoring? like the expo motoring in Long Beach?? I've never been to protomotoing, but if its anything like expo motoring.... then hahaha that place is a joke... they sell 89 s13s with silvia fronts for like $8k... completely stock with a maaco-like paint job... :duh: not impressed!

[Nezahualcoyotl]

wow... I'd probably go to the shop and see how crappy the cars for myself.

[singlecamslam]

Whats going on with humanity these days? Cant argue with stupid people. OP its ok i got made fun of my accent too when i came to America, tired of seeing crappy shops like Puto Motoring scaring people off of actually good quality shops.

[ronmcdon]

Come on, you should at the very least done a search before even calling them.
Be thankful they pissed you off on the phone, before even driving there.
Could have been a lot worse!

Shitty shops are probably more the rule, rather than the exception.

[kognition]

Those are all fanboi rides anyway. That's why they have that car carrier, they buy up all the shiite out there, slap a coat of paint and some federals on and put that garbage on e bay :keke:

[Bigsyke]

Well there are quite a few ppl who come over to this country, live here and hate americans. So throwing out the racist card like a war cry usually is ignorance to its fullest. How in the hell are they racist? I get called "white boy" on a daily, I dont file lawsuits. No need to make a thread here, we dont have the rep system any more, and you wont get a cyber high five.

you are an idiot. seriously


he obviously stated that customer service was poor and on top of that they fucked with him coz of his accent.

if you are exposed with diffferent people with different accent, its hard to deal with it but its not nice to fuck around just because u cant understand them.

Mike, you just described like 95% of the 240 community (minus the paint, since many dont even bother painting their cars nowadays).

" people call me WHITE boy "


boo fucking hoo.

[Tantwoforty]

so wait, proto was off the 215, then they moved to that little place on jurpia... where the eff sre they now? i heard alot of shady stuff about them choping cars and selling stolen parts. there is still a shop there on jurpia but they seem pretty cool. sorry about proto being assholes to you. all the cars they touch suck anyway, a while back a buddy of mine had some areo put on and they straght up used wood screws and shit all ofer the place. fucking awful.

[DataXUnknown]

I almost bought a car from them too. This is when I was selling my cressida and in the market for an S13 or Rx-7. I drove out to riverside to check this place out, the smallest little dump of a shop came nothing close to the pictures. There were a buncha gangster lookin' guys (customers) and they had like one car in the shop. Some supra I think covered in dust.

I expected to see some of the cars for sale but I saw none. Biggest waste of gas even driving there. I had to park on dirt that was like not even part of the parking lot. I hope these guys go out of buisness soon.

[Shadowhunter]

I too almost bought a car from these goons but being cheap I felt they were just charging too damn much. I went ahead and got my s14 on my own and after reading this thread I'm glad I did. Alot of their prices are b.s. you call about a car and they'll tell you a different price than what they have online.:rl:

Yo check this out, this is James from PROTO and to let everybody know we're all minorities here at the shop. This idiot called my shop about 20 times pretending like he was lost and everytime he called he used a different accent, asking if we have skylines because only real shops have skylines and this idiot just had nothing to do but be a bugaboo. I don't have time to deal with petty bullshit like this but when you call us here at my shop racist on some forums especially, im gonna call you out to say it in our faces. Ive been in business for 10 years this December and I know I cant make everyone happy but I do run a legit operation in this illlegitimate industry dealing with kids that dont understand what a business is and how its run and how a business survives, by making a profit. Tell you what buddy come down to our time attack event every Tuesday night that we host for real drivers and true enthusiasts and you can see what kind of people we really are and the stuff we do that no other shop does. If not I will give someone 500 buck to tell me where this idiot lives. Thanks

[NI_YON_Zenki]

Wow_this is funny_they have had some cars i played with back in the day_i was affiliated with all their locations but never put people off like this_i was around when the tein (sponsored) 2jz mkiv was around, actually running_i have history w/ the shop_but never honestly represented them_they were jokes_unfortunate for this to come from myself_i really look for the truth behind the enthusiasm & they were seriously lacking_mole hill presentation & selfish production_i know every (original) person affiliated with them_& they would not condone this method of ethics_report them to the bbb (better business bureau) that'll handle that.

[tt99ol]

call the better business bureau
get em in trouble

[holybushoffire]

...this idiot just had nothing to do but be a bugaboo...


^ HAHAHA WTF?

Where is the professionalism in that statement? Not to mention the rest of what you posted was the worst possible representation of what you are and do, that you possibly could have shown us.

After being in business for ten years you should know that you will be criticized both positively and negatively. And by dwelling on the negative comments you probably won't stay in business much longer, unless you use whatever skills you have to prove those statements wrong.

[Bigsyke]

hey white boy...................

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

boo fucking hoo.

But were shedding a tear because the OP was made fun of? Is this about racism or poor customer service?

you sir...are a complete (and ignorant) asshole:mrmeph::mrmeph::mrmeph:

Based off what I typed, how am I a complete ignorant asshole? give me specific details to backup how anything I posted about the OP bitching of racist issues that were only truely over poor customer service. You dont think ive had customers who were fucking around use the race card because we didnt put up with their shit, and fabricate some story about discrimination? Its a classic retail fib, and any owner of a retail company will tell you that. I do believe the OP was dicking around and got bit, now hes upset - regardless if the shop is a horrible one


you are an idiot. seriously





Really? or is it because people use the term racist to try and further intensify the situation.

[xpl2007]

I like the owner but the one arm bandit is a *snip*!
Cant stand they way they operate. But its cool!

[SochBAT]

Don't waste your time with Proto. Seriously.

Its a cum-dumpster of shitty cars with 1Day paint.

Unless you love cumdumpster diving, then by all means, go right ahead.

[240boy90]

I dont know if the OP is a hoax or is attempting to get back at PROTO for some un-apparent reason but, My own personal experience

with them was very very bad. Story too long to write But now that I see them running the time-attack at adams motor sports park I

stopped going due to the lack or respect they have towards drivers. I went the first 2 times but stopped going after seeing them

running it. None of them present there even knew how to grip. Thumbs down for me. Case of kids running a show with there parents

money and messing up for the shop.

[ranger240]

dude, everyone is racist... show me someone who isnt and i'll show you someone whos ignorant.

we all have unconscious adhesion to familiarity. Because america is unfortunately segregated, that leaves everyone viewing people of different races, hence unfamiliar with a different perspective than people who look familiar. by familiar i mean family and community members.


when people talk of racism, they mean structural racism, i.e. the collective perferencing of groups of people. because whites are currently the majority, greater society inherently caters towards them.

someone is going to get banned tonight. i dont know who. but its going to happen, i just know it.

I wouldn't bother with that shit either_the fault is_the way he disregarded this kids ignorant childish progress wasting inquires.

See, a simple Google Search (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&q=protomotoring+racist&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&fp=hW_iG4xv4cU) can land me directly into this thread. Never mind that simply searching "Protomotoring" alone (http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=protomotoring&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g1&fp=hW_iG4xv4cU) returns some results that are less than favorable.
Funny thing, though, in THIS thread, one that is on my watch, I have a "representative" of the company defending their irresponsible and very silly actions, then speaking in a manner that he was trying to talk down on. Then he takes the immaturity one step further by offering $500 bucks in exchange for the guy's address so he could go beat him up.
Yeah, that sounds like a company that we should all be fucking falling over ourselves to deal with. Reeeeeeeal professionals there. Either way, this thread has run it's course and serves no real purpose, it is not to be moved to the reviews section because it has not taken place as a result of an ACTUAL dealing with the company at hand, rather just an attempt to...
