Default Re: New super car warranty

We at NicKey do offer a limited warranty on our packages and stand behind the workmanship on anything we build.

Warranties are subject to many variables and range from no warranty up to three years.

As an example we offer a two year or 24,000 mile, which ever comes first on our most popular option the ZL1-Stage II 850hp package. Not many shops are backing up that much HP.

The most important aspect of any warranty is how it is handled in application. If you have to fight for a valid claim, it may not be worth the paper its written on and just about any attorney can make a cause for it being the owners fault and not the builder.

It is also important know exactly what is and what isn't covered, parts, labor, towing, shipping etc.....

It would be difficult if not almost impossible for any Performance shop to match an OEM warranty.

In practical application we at NicKey have built more than 100 serialized cars in the past decade with many, many more shop cars. I am not aware of one single warranty issue which was not resolved with 100% customer satisfaction.

Next, I would like to clarify some of the miss-information posted regarding our builds. There is just about nothing we haven't done to an LS engine. To insinuate that we just bolt parts on for our builds is false. There is no magic wand to performance, many of the top performance shops even use many of the same Key parts and components and have similar performance results. Our builds/packages are very safe and sound, none are pushing any performance envelope.

Regarding the emissions issue. We build cars with 50 state complaint emission and CARB certifications and we build cars which are for off road use competition purposes only. Passing an emissions test and being emissions legal are not necessarily the same thing. It is also not accurate and false that another shops car will pass emissions while ours will not, under the same circumstances.

I would also like to point out that Ken / Kristen Lingenfelter are a class act and own a top notch Performance operation. If someone chose them to build their car, I cannot see how they could go wrong. We built a NicKey Camaro as a joint venture a while back, and it turned out fantastic.
