The only thing you have to worry about with these two and fact they have not already done this so how stupid they really are, is to file for bankruptcy, and then open business under a different name. They may have attempted to so this buy setting up two LLC business as they have to keep anyone from going after any personal assets if they have any at all. |

I'll also go ahead and be up front, should this shop try to talk about me. The basis of this most recent bout of promised money was that 1/3 of my order that they owe me for was for a part that was original to the car, that he agreed to try to return. From what they've told me, they have to sign off that they've made sure the part was the one bought. So I guess they signed off on it and tried to pass it through- which really, if they had just said no, it would've been fine. He told me countless times that he stood up for me to "his friend" or "buddy" or whatever at his supplier agreed to process the refund, and it had been processed etc. Matt claims that hes more than willing to pay me back for the normally returned stuff, but has never given me money for it.
So, I'll admit, they worked with ye to try to skirt the rules. That's not what I'm mad about- I'm mad that for 4.5 months Matt's promised and agreed to refund all the money back, and never has. Has made multiple arrangments of "ok, this day, tomorrow, money will be here in a week" and has pulled the same "paypal" BS that I see in this thread with me. "Oh I'm waiting on it to clear my account, oh paypal flagged my account, oh I've gotten in trouble for using venmo so I can't do that, oh the money is clear from paypal and I'm just waiting for it to go into my account" He's made claims that it was put back right to my card, and shown me pictures (apparently faked) of "refund seq1" on my charges. All this time, all he had to say was "you're not getting your money back for the original part, here's the money for the other stuff." Which of course he's said, just not followed through on, and I probably would've ignored the fact that he'd given me promises and his word for months, and given me back what I was owed. But no, he's now moved from trying to intimidate and bully me on the phone, to threatening me with court over something he consciously allowed to happen. beyond that thouhg, the threads of doubt were early.. like when I spent about 3G's of money on my 335i there, trying to find a stumble / low boost codes. Injectors, spark plugs, coils, new valve cover, 2 smoke tests... all for a problem that's cause was that the intercooler pipe had popped off. Within 15 minutes of my local, non BMW specific shop starting a smoke test, they found the hose that had popped off and resealed it. Based on the difference in sound alone, I'm not sure how any shop familiar with the n54 could have missed that I had a giant boost leak- I loved the sound but it sounded like I had a big single! |

Their effing mechanics were also bottom of the barrel garbage. One of them actually messaged me and tried to justify himself (basically he was trying to clear his name, because ZNM was fully explosed and about to be shut down). Saying he was just following Matts orders. I had zero sympathy and told him to f*ck off, as i explained there is no way youre that naive to take orders, as in...Take this part off this customers car and put it on this other customer's car. For my car, I had completely different turbos, and a rear inlet that wasnt even connected, and much much more wrong. See my other posts on S p o o l street. This was confirmed months later when i asked Matt wtf turbos he put in my car, he admitted he did change my turbos and said he couldn't remember what he put back in.

Looks like ZNM has rebranded to part according to a quick google search.
As of today, no idea whats happening with ZNM shop side, but it seems like ZNM Parts is still up and running. Hopefully everyone here who has had a bad experience with ZNM will write their reviews to make sure these people dont screw over anybody else in the future. Time will tell.

Anyway, now they list their address as Lincoln park right on the airport. I presume it's just their parts stuff but I really don't know. trash either way, both businesses suck. |

I wouldn't ever encourage anyone to write a bad review... but if a few people from this thread other than me and Lshaw decided to write some reviews... I would passively smile knowing I wasn't involved.

So today I reposted my review on facebook. immediately got texts from matt offering a refund and I can come pick it up, it's here and ready for me. I responded that he is nowhere close to me, and that I don't feel comfortable seeing him in person, and that it's a perfectly normal business transaction to just mail me the check. I'm sure I'll never get it. He also started up bothering my buddy (again, who's experience I had mentioned in the review, who had his own awful experiences with matt) so I decided to take those statements out of my review. In the message today to my buddy "and to be frank, I'll escelate this on my end legally." I'm not sure if he was referring to my complaints, or to my buddy's but it's pathetic either way. If it's my buddy, it's especially pathetic, as he's basically had no contact with matt and is just trying to be in absolutely no contact with him, to be over and done with it.
Are there public court cases against him currently? Would love to go sit in for them just to smile and watch. He also turned off the reviews on his facebook page right away. I went to go change my facebook review to not include my buddy, and found no sign of any reviews anymore. Typical. When he texted me about it, in his typical "I'm pretending to be a lawyer and tryign to catch you in a mistake" speak, he texted me "also, can you confirm for me "friend" made that statement? He never paid for a transmission. He paid for a transfercase" I responded "I won't be doing anything for you, besides checking my mailbox. Have a good one! I'm at work, and wont be able to respond to you anymore today." Then he said "you can let me know when you can talk on the phone for 5 mins today. It'll be professional and courteous. If not feel free to hang up." I responded " Feel free to text whatever you need to me. I've removed the part about my friend from the google review, and will not have time today to speak to you. I'm a very busy person, and already wasted enough time over the past few months trying to reconcile this, even before I posted any reviews. I'll read any texts when I get a chance. And I'm done for the day. it was a glorious month with no contact from Matt, and on january 17th when the last interaction was had, he stated "And even though I don't have time I'll still bring this matter to court" At this point, I think any time he tries to contact me I'll either not respond, or text him a picture of the largest gaping pornstar's butthole I can find at that moment. Maybe I'll add "you open your mouth and this is what I see" In reality I won't respond, but the pictures WOULD make me giggle. |
