Wondering if anyone was familiar with NazziseRacing out of Riverton, UT? Anyone have any positive or negative dealings with them?...

Always had good luck with Sam, and haven't heard anyone say they have had a bad experience. Have only had him do shock rebuilds and stuff like that.
He's like 2 blocks from my house and has been in business for quite a few years now. That says something right there.
I've been in his shop 1 time and he had a pretty rare/hard to find Mikuni carb part I needed.
It isn't the cleanest place, that's for sure. He was putting cylinders back on a 900 motor... well let's just say I would have cleaned them up more before putting them back on.
I tend to judge shops a lot by the cleanliness on first visits.

Pretty much the same experience as Dan, the shop was a **** hole and while there I watch some pretty sketchy stuff going on. I'm far from a professional and I still wouldn't put my name on the work that was being done.
I went there to have something pressed out, waited while it was done. took a total of three min. and $50 dollars later he was done, partly my fault for not asking how much when he said he could do it and it would take a min or two. I don't take too kindly to price gouging and lack of pride in workmanship.
Won't be going back and I wouldn't recommend anyone else did either.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Shop may have not been up to your standards (or Dan's), which is a valid point.
As for charging you a minimum charge, that is not price gouging, it is standard practice (and $50 is on the low end). Some shops may choose to waive that charge, but that is at their discretion.
Bottomline, you didn't get screwed so get over it!! ANd what he charged you to press on or off drivers is the going rate.

It must be who is working that day. Sam actually pressed some on for free when he worked for South Valley, but South Valley charged me $75 for another set that I had pressed on.
Nothing against you, but I just don't find it appropriate to bash a business based on how clean or because you think you got charged more than you should. Sam may do great work, and to talk about someone's livelihood like that is wrong, when like you said, you are no expert. And Dan just said he would have cleaned them better, didn't say what they had done was wrong.
Anyways, not sticking up for Sam, just saying.....
If you want another good shop, try Powerhouse in PG, Matt and Dustin have always been great to work with.

cleanliness...
I think it says a lot for any business that takes the time to clean and organize a shop, you can almost eat off of my shop floor. thats called pride, and also impresses a customer that you take care of. also goes to show what kind of work your capable of performing. as for charging a $50.00 minimum well that depends on weather you WANT that customer to come back or not.

LMFAO at what some customers think about shop time, come to my shop son and watch me not fart in a jar for $50
(Hatchers fix your stuff repair shop)
- $100/hr ill do nothing and still bill you
- $200/hr gets me motivated enough to go grab a beer and drift off into deep unrelated thought

Unfortunately, just means that maybe you should have been in the cleaning industry and not a mechanic!!
So, this is what we know:
- Nothing to say that Sam doesn't do good work
- People who snowmobile are cheap and want everything for free
- You may not want to eat your lunch at his shop!!
Used this example already, but any of you ever had your furnace worked on?? How much do they charge just to show up at your house?? Having a minimum fee is not uncommon. Could you imagine if Sam was to get 100 of these guys a day, all wanting him to do a 5 minute job for free?? He would be a great mechanic on this forum, and would be begging on the street for food to eat on his dirty floor....
Yeah... I don't remember anyone asking to have something done for free, fact is a shop like that (no matter how good they are) wouldn't last for long. A service call can't even be compared to a customer walking into a shop, not even in the same ball park so don't try to make that comparison.
And so far no one has bashed him or his livelihood, feedback was solicited and it appears as if this is one of those occasions where there was bad feedback.
....usually don't chime in on these types of threads...but can't help myself on this one.
I like sam, as a person, great racer( have raced with him over numerous years)...but his shop, and service leave something to be desired. I too have had work done by sam..and was unimpressed to say the least.... He's terrible at returning calls, and or delivering the sled when promised. Does he know sleds...especially cats?...YES...no doubt. Do you always get what you pay for?...I don't think so.
I have had a few other experiences with him, and some of his customers that also didn't go too well.
Use your best judgement...ask LOTS of questions, and get your quote in writing up front, as well as a delivery date.
If you use him, hope your experience is better than mine was. This IS NOT an attack on Sam, or his shop, just relating my own PERSONAL experiences.
Thanks, and good luck.
