"There has been work performed by a sub-standard shop in the industry who was installing upgrades on Lamborghini's primarily in the New York - Tri-State Area.

FOREST HILL EXOTIC PERFORMANCE, owned by Ron & Chris Brown, were well known for upgrades to Lamborghini's and other Exotics in the tri-state area for years. More recently it has surfaced that they acted in a very unorthodox manner including scamming and defrauding customers. They are currently under investigation both on a County and Federal level.

Well today as I walked into work I was confronted by the 2 Lambo techs who walked me in the shop to show me a 2008 Lamborghini Superleggera previously owned by Ricky Henner. All I have to say is WOW ! Ricky, thankfully you and your wife are safe! Another BUTCHER job by Forest Hill Exotic Performance.

The vehicle was being moved and the brake pedal went to the floor, it seems that the factory washers that are used when the brake line is attached to caliper was gone. As a result the brake fluid leaked and destroyed the paint on the back of the caliper and soaked the undercarriage. Furthermore the paint used is the wrong paint and by no means can withstand the heat that is generated by a braking system.

Our service department had to remove all the calipers and grind down the paint in the fitting and then use new washers and re-attach the brake lines, bleed and fill the system.

ANYONE who has had this service performed by FOREST HILL EXOTIC PERFORMANCE needs to have this fixed immediately!!!

It is an EXTREMELY dangerous and potentially fatal problem.

If anyone knows Boris - Hovik, I know you do, call him immediately and have him get that fixed, if anyone knows of anyone else with aftermarket painted calipers by this shop - call them - YOU JUST MAY SAVE THEIR LIVES!"
