Scott Shafiroff Motors
« on: May 08, 2012, 09:21:55 pm »
Anybody have any good references who have bought a motor from Scott Shafiroff before? From what ive read, they seem to have a great reputation, just didnt know if anyone on here has had any experience with them or knew someone who did?

     How many comments have they posted, if they have a lot people thought highly enough of them to post, if not, then you are taking a chance.

Never heard of them. Why not post their website?

I don't see them registered with the better business bureau. What made you choose them?

     That is what they are there for.  I look up business's all the time to see if they are a member/ or have reviews.  Not a member there is no corrective action that can be taken except a bad review.  That only works for those of us who actually use the BBB to look up business's.

Well the fact that they aren't registered with the bbb would concern me. I would choose a more reputable company.

     I second this thought.  There really is only a couple of reasons why a company would not join the BBB, and none of them are very good reasons.
