Never mind

So I haven't been in the southern off-road game that long. I DONT WANT TO START A THREAD FULL OF BASHING AND OPINIONS. just looking for facts from people who are in the know. I'm finishing up a build and have an "off season" that I could drop it off and have all my shitty work redone while I'm off at work. (4 month at a time) I've talked to both shops online and on the phone. Both seem like good people.
So the question is how do the two most reputable shops in the south east end up in the same town?
Who that has done business with both would you recommend?
Does one shop do things better in a certain area better then other?
I'm leaning toward EOR because this year I think shock tuning will be my biggest issue, and from what I've read that's the place to go?
Plus it would be a damn shame to see my junk next to woodlee's work.

Re: EOR and WOD

Maybe John will shut it down, if it happens. I would prefer he does. I'm just curious. Is there bad blood I don't know about? If I'm bringing g something up that needs to be forgotten, I'll retitle it myself.
But if it is just competition I would like to hear people's experiences. From my limited experience I like EOR

Re: EOR and WOD

They are both good shops in my opinion.

I feel like nothing good will come from this thread.

Re: EOR and WOD

I had both the 38 Special and the Solo Buggy built by Adam Woodlee at Wide Open Design. He is a pleasure to work with and the billing is always perfect. I have never had a cross word with Adam. I hope I never have another built, but if so, Adam would do it. He is good with his time schedule also. The 38 Special was 40 days late, but there were a lot of changes made during the build that kept adding time to the 15 month build. The Solo Buggy was built in 5 months. It was to be delivered on a Saturday at SRRS Race at Greyrock, but it failed to crank due to a defective part I had supplied. I picked it up the middle of the following week.

To me, being on time is critical. Even though both were slightly late. The 38 Special was rolled into the World of Wheels car show just hours after Adam caught a plane to go to the King Of The Hammers. His whole crew worked all night to make a deadline. We actually pulled out of his shop headed back to Birmingham at 4:30 in the morning. I love commitment.

You will love doing business with Adam.

If there is one thing I think Jimmy at EOR is better at, it would be shock tuning. Now with that said, I have not done business with Jimmy.

What the hell guy you don't get enough drama on TV . What is so special about your rig that either shop could not handle it .i bet you fight pitbulls for fun. Wheeling is fun drama is for girls

Re: EOR and WOD

Don't think he wants drama just who would be best
My vote WOD just look at the Hustler buggy

Re: EOR and WOD

I think either shop would do a jam up job on any project. It comes down to personal preference. There are also a ton of other shops that are good at this type of work as well.

Just know you can only have 2 of the 3 with any shop. (Good, Fast, Cheap)

Re: EOR and WOD

I have purchased the majority of my parts for my buggy from EOR and WOD. From a customer service standpoint WOD is my vote hands down. Rocky is great at explaining things and when he says he'll call you back he does. Every time I ordered something from WOD it was delivered promptly and to spec. EOR not so much. Just my personal experience

Think I'll stick with off-road connection and bend my own tube. Thanks for the feed back.

From seeing Eddyj's post on here a lot, drama isn't the case.. I Would bet he just was curious.. And if he's OCD about his rig like i am there's ALOT special about his rig to him.. (I'm not being a smartass, I'm being serious). I don't have **** compared to a lot of yall, but I would be leery letting someone work on mine for months at a time .. Would also be BROKE. Haha.
