SONNASTY
"AVOID !! AVOID !! AVOID !!"
In February 2024 I delivered my car to company 117 to install AP coilovers in my car. I was quoted £660 for the coilovers and around £600 for 6 hours of work. As soon as I went to pick up the car I noticed that the car was too low, so after getting in touch with them they told me to go back there 2 days later to adjust the suspension, so I did and it had actually improved something but the tires continued to touch in wheel protection. I called again and they recommended another company to adjust the steering and suspension (taking responsibility). As I bought another car I didn't need to use it daily which didn't worry me, about 5/6 months after this incident I decided to make all the adjustments as it was impossible to drive the car and I always damaged something in the car. To my surprise I went to another company specializing in Audi (Awesome GTI) and discovered that the suspension installed on my car was the wrong one, the suspension was much cheaper (£250) and for the petrol model it weighs 600 kg less than the mine diesel. I contacted the suspension supplier and they confirmed that they do not and never have manufactured them for my car.I contacted 117speed to question this situation and they simply said that in their rush they forgot to mention that the price had changed from £660 to £250 and they still insisted that the two suspensions were the same and what differentiated was the producer's brand and the value (pure lie or something from someone who doesn't understand what they do) after showing the supplier's emails they started to blame the supplier. Fed up with this and with several parts damaged in the car due to this I asked for a refund to do it with another company and to my surprise they refused to give me the money back and I would have to redo all the work with them "free of charge", very afraid and frustrated I ended up accepting. Again another surprise when the car was delivered to them after a few hours they called me to inform me that I would have to change a part because it was damaged and they were unable to install the suspension which would cost me around £660 between the part and labor, I paid them to get rid of them and this headache. I waited 24 days for the new part to arrive and another 4 days for the car to be repaired. The day I went to collect the car and thinking that the nightmare was finally over, they presented me with a receipt with £952 to pay, they said that the old bearing broke and the bearing had been installed in the last week of January this year and more one or two things there, all without me being informed at any time. I paid and left without saying a single word to Samuel "car specialist". Do you think it's over? If you feel there is more, I scheduled an alignment and suspension adjustment with the Awesome GTI and I was astonished when the engineer called me in the waiting room to accompany him to the car just 5 minutes after they got the car into the elevator to tell me that the rear spring plates had been installed backwards, the plate should have been installed on top and 117speed installed it below and the part that should have been under the spring had simply been removed, another "good job" by 117speed which cost me £200 to redo. In short, I don't advise anyone to put their car in 117Speed, they want to receive the money but they don't want to be held responsible for the damage they do to their cars. They mess up and are rude and arrogant when confronted. 0% quality, 0% responsibility and 0% knowledge about cars.

"Can’t rate Sam and the team highly…"
Can’t rate Sam and the team highly enough. I had my car mapped by someone else, however I couldn’t notice any difference so I found 117Speed and told Sam all about it. I booked in to test on rolling Road and indeed it turned out that it had not been remapped. Once remapped by Sam and the results of the rolling Road he test drove it and then I test drove it and WOW what a difference. HP gone to 411.7 from 362 and torque up to 611NM from 503. I’ve had a smile on my face ever since and can really tell the difference. This is a proper set up with proper facilities with people who know what they are talking about. Already thinking about what I will have done next

"Avoid this company like the plague"
Avoid this company like the plague—117speed is a total scam; they do not even own a name, and the man in charge has an interesting background with the company house—five companies have been registered to the same fictitious address. This is the same company that other people on Trustpilot have mentioned that went into liquidation in January this year , My recommendation is to locate a legitimate business with appropriate insurance, as no insurance provider will cover a fraudulent business. The key question is: would you trust it? People should be wise and avoid being duped. Check references and identify the company you are working with. Consider this before spending thousands on an engine upgrade: if something goes wrong, who will pay the expenses? Many respectable companies carry product and public liability insurance.

"Took my Peugeot in due to Adblue…"
Took my Peugeot in due to Adblue issues. The guys managed to sort this out for me.
I am very grateful to these guys and would not hesitate to recommend them. They are great guys.

"These guys are absolutely amazing"
These guys are absolutely amazing. Took my car to get some work done. Work was carried efficiently and professionally. . Unfortunately (and purely coincidentally) a problem occurred shortly after. After a quick call, the car was returned for inspection. To cut a long story short - Sabz and the team spent a considerable amount of time and effort trying to sort the 'unrelated' fault. Unable to fix the problem, Sabz very graciously sorted out a recovery to get my car back home. Truly exceptional service.

"Excellent service & a good company"
117 Speed, where do I start? I came across these guys after having a really bad experience elsewhere. A company who claimed to have 10+ years experience in the tuning industry & a tuner who was a ‘wizard’ at what he does. Well, that statement escalated quickly. The so called wizard couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my car after they had put corrupt tuning files on. Anyways, that’s a long story for another day. Sam at 117 Speed showed me what 10+ years in the tuning industry looks like, what can I say she feels like a new car & a beast has now been unleashed.
I originally went to these guys back in June 2023 when I was experiencing problems and they resolved all of my issues & rescued my car from the dirt. I had already been following MSB’s GTI project on YouTube so knew this company was trustworthy & would do exactly what it says on the tin. I returned this month & got the full stage 2 crazy sauce from their in house tuning chef Sam, my days the car is transformed and now he’s making me cause havoc all over the roads & I couldn’t be happier!
A special shoutout to my brother Sabbah who has handled everything so professionally from start to finish. He has been there for me from day one. His customer service skills are on point and goes well and truly beyond the customer’s needs ensuring an exceptional service and experience. I still chat to him till this day like a friend! 117 Speed isn’t a company who will just forget about you once you leave their workshop.
I couldn’t recommend this company enough, from general car maintenance to tuning 117 Speed is the place to go, it’s home from home. Proud to be a part of the 117 family & I will always return as a loyal customer when need be! Won’t be taking my car anywhere else from this point onwards, so thanks to everyone at 117 for being a part of my car journey. Carry on doing what you do & I hope your business receives all the success you strive for. Thank you and stay blessed! 💛
Won’t post any content on here but feel free to follow my instagram @j40.mxy for proof of their work.

"Avoid Avoid"
Absolute a waste of time my rs3 went in for a stage 2+ and hpfp internal upgrade and they damaged it badly, also sent my injectors of who they recommend and they was the wrong baskets and wrong seals used, my gasket was bent on the manifold, fuel line brackets missing, dip stick broken, hpfp was all tape up with ptf tape, fuel in my oil and oil filter, all my fuel was missing as there was half a tank of fuel gone, all my coil pack connections broken and also bent my air intake, they won’t take any responsibility for the damage that they have caused cost me over 1.5k in damages, I am going through legal advise to get this dealt with has everything they did was a disgrace, they can’t tune, they can’t do repairs, my car was running rich on idle all because what they did, they also went on the rs3 owners club to ask why it was running rich on idle, bunch of cowboys, so don’t even bother and follow the sheep of 117nospeed, jokers the lot of them
