back. Back again.

I don't know why it keeps getting bumped but I met the guy twice. He seemed like sort a rich spoiled know-it-all d bag who showed up the the Rally X in the evo he got and thought he was the **** until he blew up the whole transfer case and assorted other parts because he doesn't know how to launch a car. On NASIOC he would be referred to as a flat biller and rightfully so.

A friend's brother in law used to be good friends with him back in high school and had him work on and tune 3 or 4 of his hondas. This guy was my neighbor and these were the ****tiest cars imaginable, exhausts piped dragging the ground, cut springs typical ricer crap. Then after about three to six months they all ended up in the same place, with a blown motor parked in his driveway.

Day 1 with his EVO he came to the Rally X in Hillsboro with it on a trailer bragging to everyone and pretending to be a rally car driver with any sort of skill. He promptly ****ed the whole car up and probably had to spend so much money fixing it that he couldn't or didn't want to come up with the rest of the cash for the car. These type of people can only go on for so long before he gets shot in the face or ends up in prison. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later but I think he may have gotten the point by now that he is not wanted around here anymore.

I was there too. He didn't thank those of us that helped push that POS onto the trailer for him.

Default Agatino Fortunato-"Tino's Automotive " took $4100.00 from our 20 yr. old son

Agatino Fortunato-owner of TINO's AUTOMOTIVE-driver for ALL FOURS RALLY TEAM -took $ 4100.00 from our 20 yr. old son

Four months ago, on June 3, 2015 Tino Fortunato took a cashiers check payable to Tino's Automotive in the amount of four thousand one hundred dollars from our son to replace
the engine and transmission in our son's Nissan 240SX. Our son was given an estimation of 2 weeks for the work to be completed. Tino told our son the engine he got in was faulty
and he would order another. When the next engine arrived, Tino stated it was faulty also and would have to order another. By this time 2 months had passed. We placed phone
calls to his Automotive shop requesting to know the status of the new engine. Tino would not return our calls over the next month. Last month, Tino moved his automotive shop
out of the location at 6715 Martin Way East. He disconnected the phone number for the business 360-628-8852 and gave our son no forwarding contact number.

At this point, our son wants his money refunded, but he has no way to contact Tino Fortunato. Our son has sent emails to his facebook and business and received no response.
Our son needed this engine and transmission replacement 4 months ago when Tino was paid to do it for him. Now his situation is dire. He has a 2 hour work commute each day
and broke down along side the freeway yesterday with engine problems.

Please...if there is anyone who can help or advise us, we would appreciate it. [email protected]

He's not hard to find. He's on FB every day trying to sell sell sell.

He posts here all of the time
https://www.facebook.com/groups/759562764155197/

Rather than direct friend request or direct contact him - you can find him in these groups.

It's also worth mentioning that they came to some sort of amicable conclusion to this original mess over on specialstage.com. So that's something.

Perhaps his current employer should know about this. Listed as a Porsche tech on his profile... I would have to assume Porsche of Tacoma unless he's full of ****.

Showing up to his work unannounced is a dumb move, and won't net you anything except perhaps a trespass warrant and possibly a restraining order, depending on how rowdy you get.

Why is this still a thread?

Good advice MrTris. Unfortunately this is still a thread because of all the **** stirrers on this forum.

Tino's not hiding, he has always been hard to get a hold of no matter what the circumstance because of all he's got going on. Running a business, working a day job, prepping a new SP car, and having a young family takes a lot out of the day.

I visited his shop late last month at the new location (2740 Mottman Rd SW, Olympia, WA) and Nikki was finishing up a customer's 240. Not sure if it was the 240 mentioned above but hopefully.
