My block was cracked after having it for 3 weeks. I was constantly strung along for 5 months . I was manipulated and my car came back with the front headlight hanging out when I got home. I paid to have it resealed and have the block studded and there was oil leaking and dexcool leaking out of it within weeks I spent over 4000$ dollars and that is what I got . I constantly asked for the receipt which was never given . I would not have sent my car had I known it was gonna take almost 6 months and return damaged . My money was essentially taken from me .

Tim is a great "promiser"...until he has your money. And, he's no "expert". Once I finally got my motor back, I had to spend another thousand dollars just to run down and fix his screw ups. One thing was that there is a metal rod that fits into the camshaft gear and excites the sensor for the camshaft positioning. We had to tear down the engine to find out that he had installed this sensor gear on the intake rather than the exhaust side...which is where it needs to be to function. Until that signal is given to the computer, the engine will not run at optimum. Such a rookie mistake. Then, when I approached him to participate in the cost to correct it, Tim The Coward wouldn't even respond. As they say in Texas, he's all hat and no cattle. Don't believe his line of crap to get you to send money..."I'm a Christian"..." my word is good"..."I am THE Northstar expert". I now have over $7 Grand invested in a motor that I have no confidence in. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that he just cleans up junkyard engines and ships them. 

You have been warned. Tim is not a man you want to do business with. His work, his word, and his business practices are all suspect. No, suspect is not the right word. I don't just "suspect"...I know from experience. This guy is a piece of work...and feel free to substitute the word "work" for any other 4 letter word which comes to mind

Billy McNeill Thanks for posting this, this type of mistake should not be possible if the engine is tested on an engine stand after it is built. I saw on the CCC site that this engine came from the scrap yard, and it is rebuilt and not run to check for knocks, oil pressure, and to see it run? I guess this shop doesnt have an engine test stand, not a good practice, so as a result the owner needs to debug it.

John Carroll So you tell me just one engine company on earth that had not made a mistake and then took care of it! The only issue that caused Kerry to get angry was a lapse in communication, a few days past and he felt he was being ignored and was apologized too! In the work that I do my guy's can and will occasionally make mistake's. This is no different then this? Should he be fired? What kind of people do these things? I know that the bill has been sent to CCC for full coverage so stop! CCC is always been a place to trust, unless you slander CCC as you did here, but CCC will stand behind and take care of the issue or problem or cost of repair!. Let CCC and Kerry take care of his Cadillac I don't think you are the one who warranties CCC's engines and yes they are supreme engines, this is apparently a first in this company to have this happen, and it was not intentional OR because the guy who made the mistake is an idiot, he is actually very good and has never made a mistake like this EVER! He is very sorry, but CCC will cover the cost, whether Kerry takes this down or not! It will be shown on here as soon as the repair payment is sent out!

Billy McNeill The engine was not assembled correctly and did not run correctly that is fact and it cost Kerry money to resolve. There is no more to say.

Another Carroll Custom Cadillac, Tim Carroll Facebook Review - Donna

BUYER BEWARE!!! YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR!!!!!

Mr. Carroll how dare you behave as if you are a Christian!! I've met some pretty shady people in my life but never have I been treated like you treated my husband and I. Carrolls custom Cadillacs my ass!!!

More like Carrolls Cadillac Cemetery- where good cars go to die!! When my car was sent to you the ONLY problem was a knocking in the engine from driving through a puddle. Now all of the sudden after 4 MONTHS OF NOTHING!!! The transmission is cracked, which is hilarious since I drove it to where the tow truck got it to bring to you and it had ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, NEIN PROBLEMS shifting the whole 5 MILES!!!

You cussed out my insurance company for calling you after 4 MONTHS OF NOTHING to see when you'd be done working on my car. Blamed them for payment not being received when it took you 3 TRIES TO GET THEM THE RIGHT TAX ID NUMBER!!! Who doesn't know the right tax id number?! I'm sure that's a pretty important piece of info.

Then you email my husband and tell him we messed up calling my insurance to get an update? Talked about all about the "extra" you did on the car. It's funny how those "extras" you claimed came out of your pocket were actually covered under the initial claim.

Did you think that we would be intimidated by that one lame attempt to bully us? NO SIR!!!!

After extensive research into you and not your company I uncovered quite a few horrible things. I will leave most of them out since they are more personal and not business related, but I will mention the business parts.

I will do my best to keep anyone else from suffering under your childish bullying and slander of people and companies. Please feel free to put my personal info out there. I welcome the chance to show your "supporters" the extensive emails and texts we have from you proving everything I will say. It's not slander if it's true sir.
On a side note- how many times are you going to talk crap about the guy with eldo? From my research it seems you've had that car about 2 years. You've painted it so many times it's probably bullet proof.

I wish I could give no stars to this shop!!!

Just an update to my previous post: after Tim read my review he began to harass my husband and threaten him. When he did not back down he began to threaten him with "real estate" fraud, I'm sure he meant insurance. I find that funny since he said he beefed up the estimate to "help" us.

Let me be clear: WE DID NOT WANT A NEW CAR! WE WANTED OUR CAR FIXED!

He then stated on here that my husband was using my name when he wasn't. Both of us responded to that and the responses have since been deleted.

Thank god we screen shot those things. If I could include a picture here I would.

This man has absolutely no morals or ethics. He has blocked us from being able to respond to his accusations and give us the right to defend ourselves.

For someone who slanders others under the guise of personal defense I would think he would welcome the chance to prove us wrong. To vindicate himself in the public eye.

I'm sure he will write a web page, give out our personal information, and slander us some more. That's ok. We have nothing to hide, we will not be bullied, and we will defend ourselves just as he will.

However we have proof to back us up as well as a long line of other people he has done wrong. He may be able to delete comments but this review will be here for all to see and to help in saving some people some money and aggravation.

He talks about others wanting to add strife and drama into their lives but if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have that. We would have our car that was sent to him and it would have been done properly and in a timely manner.

We have not attacked him personally just his business practices and his claim to being a good Christian. He has attacked us and others personally and bullied us for expressing our distaste in his business which is our God given legal right!!

Please don't be fooled by his excuses and sob stories. I too have been through many of the same things and they are not excuses for bad behavior or being a shady thief. They are moments to grow and become a better version of yourself, not a schister.

Tim Carroll Cusses Facebook Reviewer - Jerry

Publisher's Note: Never pay Tim Carroll or one of his phony companies, by cash or money order or check or bank wire. If you've noticed as of this date he no longer has any credit card processing company. This is not because of anything that I've done. It must be because the banks are now familiar with how he operates. Once Carroll gets your money he will tell you to sue him which explains why he always mentions 'legal recourse' like below, when you finally demand to know what's going on.

I purchased his studs in the pass several different times with no problems. In the year 2015 I attempted to purchase more head studs but was unsuccessful in doing so for reasons unknown. It's possible that he went out of business, I have no idea but his website is still up. In the month of June year 2016 I was finally able to get in contact will Carroll about the head studs. I made the purchase , $335 dollars through Pay Pal which he suggested instead of using my debit or credit card as I did in the past with no problems. The very next day after the purchase he sent me a long email saying that he had fired PayPal because of a problem that he had with a former client who paid through PayPal. Was told to call PayPal and ask for my money back which I did. Was told by Carol that the method of payment that he wanted me to do was purchase by, number 1 cashier's check, 2 a MoneyGram 3 he left me his accounting and routing number to a business of his which he wanted me to send the money to.. All these methods all unsecured methods I'm making a payment. There's no way you can recover your money if he doesn't deliver the product. This is nothing but a scam and he's probably no longer in business. So if anyone out there I.s looking to do business with him make sure you do your research.

Carroll Custom Cadillac What in the hell is wrong with you asshole! Just because I fired PayPal for forcing my clients to become account holders is my business not yours asshole! Don't come into our world of Cadillacs and say BS to our fans! I have no reason to sell studs to any man dick head! I do it for the love of the car and to help assholes such as yourself! you will no longer be able to purchase our products so have fun with Jake or better yet go back to serts! How dare you get on our site and speak ill of what I offered you! Only an idiot would think such Bull shit! How damn stupid does a man have to be to think for one moment you are not getting invoices for security on your part! Or too damn stupid to know in American we have legal recourse which you cannot get in Canada! But the hell with you! You are permanently cut off from ever receiving studs from us, now or in the future.

Billy McNeill This is the way you treat customers?

October 16, 2016 at 9:21pm

 

John Carroll NO Sarc! This is retribution for knowingly slander us! It is well know I quit to end the feud between Jake an I! However, Jake's recent attack ended it and our studs are back and will remain!

October 18, 2016 at 12:54pm

Billy McNeill So you call former customers assholes, dick heads and call their concerns bullshit, got it......and so should future customers. As usual, you twist the story, PayPal dropped you, you didnt drop PayPal, call it what you want if it makes you feel better. I can get the details if you would like. Jerry, did not like paying you cash, who could blame him, without having recourse and you rip into him..... oh that is good business practice. Nothing more to say here. I guess the customer isn't always right at the world famous CCC.

Tim Carroll Mocks A Former "Client" On Facebook

In a 10 January 2017 Carroll Custom Cadillac Facebook post, Tim Carroll makes reference to "a Ben" as if he doesn't know who this person is. Carroll knows exactly who this person is -- it's Benjamin Vining from Austin, Texas.

Click picture to enlarge

In 2016 Ben sent his Cadillac Eldorado to Carroll to have head studs installed and the block resealed. According to Ben, Carroll had his car for "about 5 and a half months."

Shortly after Ben finally got his car back it developed oil and coolant leaks. Ben took it to another mechanic who discovered that it had, amongst other problems, a cracked block.

All Ben wanted was a receipt, to which he was entitled, to show what Carroll allegedly did to his car. Carroll refused to give him a receipt or any type of accounting and blew him off. Sound familiar?

There is a whole thread about it on caddyinfo.com. Below is an excerpt:

Around the same time as this Facebook post, Ben left a comment under "Visitor Posts":

If you look at the CCC Facebook page, you'll notice that Carroll has since removed the "Visitor Posts" and "Reviews." I can't help but wonder if he did this because his "clients" had begun to leave comments and reviews that were showing how he truly operates.

Don't get Tim Carroll'd.

Slowly but surely the truth about Tim Carroll and Carroll Custom Cadillac is coming out. Only question is what the hell does it take to get Texas and Federal law enforcement involved?

 Comment text:

Ruby Olson I thought I was having a professional work on my Caddy, it runs worse once you worked on it. Can't please everyone, but when we paid you over $5,000 one expects the job to done properly. Sounds like I'm not the only customer you that is not satisfied with your work. Glad I could help build your new home and stealing my money!
