Another victim of Custom Innovations.
Same story as the other guy- Worst hack and liar I've ever seen. As with the other post, my engine blew right away after giving him almost 5000.00 cash- He "tried" to fix it again after WEEKS AND WEEKS of bugging him and listening to excuses. He told me he never had a failure, now he says the first 100 motors he built all failed.
Dave Branchfield (the owner) changes his web page almost on a daily basis. He now claims he is going to try and help all these people, yet his website now shows how hard he has been working on his own projects & seems quite proud of them I might add.
I've never met such a con man in my entire life. I was the one who took him to court, and Ohhh Noo.Im not done yet, not even close. I will have another trial date within a few weeks.
There are dozens and dozens of people out thousands of dollars. I'll get him on the next round!
He blames bad parts for all the failures. yeah, 100+ failures when other "real" engine building companies use the same products-
The whole story about him would take too long, but if you like your Cadillac don't go there!!

How's the business now?

Ahh, wrong info about good ol' Danny. Wrong date of birth and looks like (not guilty anyway)
How about now Dave? Now that you've been evicted, sued by almost a dozen people and ripped off hundreds of people?
Your e-bay name: northstar0521 show you purchased lower mileage dash clusters for each car you've sold.
Are you still a honest great guy Dave? Have you built ONE ENGINE that made it??
All I see is around 100 people who hate you, not me- although the truth DOES Hurt Eh?

Update to Custom Innovations Madison WI
AUTHOR: Dan - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 31, 2007
I now see new ripoffreport posts about Dave Branchfield of Custom Innovations. I have one also. I just today noticed Dave Branchfield posted false information about me on my e-bay feedback. Someone with my same last name was apparently charged with stealing or something once, so he advertised it as me on e-bay after I slammed his ebay account with the name northstar0521.
As a follow up to my 2 bad motors he tried to rebuild (after a year of fighting) I figured I'd just let everyone I sued Dave in a real civil court via a phone trail and he was ordered to pay me $4000.00- Dave refused, offering excuse after excuse (as usual) I have 109 e-mails of excuses. After all the worse the mechanic is, the better the excuses get. Dave Branchfield tried to snake out of paying the court order. I was about to file as a non-payer with the Sheriffs dept and hire an Attorney.
Once I figured out what it would cost me for Attorney collection fee's I offered him a 1 time 500.00 discount if he paid. (now this was like pulling teeth) but he reluctantly sent the payment to avoid me attaching his assets. He wasnt doing the right thing, he was just covering his a*s. Remember folks, you can have a phone trial. you don't have to fly to WI.

Tried to help me?? when? after I chased you for months for fix the car again? "pre-existing problems" how is that possible on parts you installed?? You claim 100 engine failures, yet you continue to doubt my story?
People can check out the cadillacowners . com website, then click on "forums" to see other stories.
P.S. Your "deformation of character" (has been overused) for months & the lawsuit threat is old is boring. I'd repeat anything I've already said on any soapbox and microphone in the world- its all true.
As people now can see how he will "help you"

Custom Innovations has tried to help this man, but some people can't be helped.

Custom Innovations acknowledges this party. He had us do a repair on his car, and ever since has been our 'problem child.' The 'jest' of it is, he feels we should be responsible for all of his pre-existing conditions that have nothing to do with the components we installed. We have gone out of our way to help him, but he just keeps fabricating complaints, for the sake of complaining. Furthermore, he has already tried to take us to court for these things, and his case was dismissed.
Custom Innovations builds Cadillac Northstar engines, and custom cars with Northstar Engines. We take pride in our many satisfied customers, and continue to provide them with quality service. However, we have absolutely no warranted obligation to this man. He persists to get something that he does not have coming, and doesn't seem to be rational, tactful, or honest, to say the least. Furthermore, he has attempted to destroy our good name through sites such as this one and others, and it's because of this we are eagerly pursuing a defamation suit against him.
