Has anyone had experience with using Cog's Cogs in Cleveland GA for a transmission rebuild or exchange with core?

Joe has the credentials, but the prices seem kinda low. I just did one that only needed a couple of bearings and the parts at cost were more than they charge for a rebuild. Might wanna talk to Dr. Evil. He's around here somewhere ...

I recently purchased the main 6 bearings in a 901, race only box. First time in a long time I have felt a box turn that smoothly and quietly. Time will tell regarding reliability. He was willing to help, but he did sell a $$$$ of bearings.

Google Joe Cogbill.....

Not pretty. Now that I've looked into this, I remember a bad deal that went down with me as the buyer. Long time ago. Call Dr. Evil ...

hmmmm... Cogswell or Spacely?

He's a first class douche bag, a crook, a weasel who doesn't pay his bills and I have the honor of being the guy who actually persevered in a criminal case against him after he pulled a gun on me when I tried to collect a bill.
Other than that he's great to do business with.

When you have Dr Evil around.... be patient and build your own.

The best part is he watches these forums... Last time I called him out here he made the mistake of calling me on the phone to "clarify" what I said. It was on!

We are in the same small town. A couple years ago I was mistakened for him when I parked my black Carrera at the grocery store. A guy that he had obviously "done some business with" over the net or phone approached me and called me a "son of a bitch" and asked me some very interesting questions and made some serious accusations...

There are no other Porsches here and that's not the first time I was called out after being mistaken as "the cog".

Thanks for all o the very interesting and informative responses.

You're welcome. Glad to inform anyone I can that this guy is not to be trusted, no matter how much he seems to know or his racing successes.

He did get us a ring and pinion for a 915 gearbox that was in good shape (it's still in the track car).

He did never deliver any of the shims that I ordered from him. (I sourced them from other places)

Other than that one experience, I don't know anything else about him. After he never delivered any of the shims, I doubt I would do any further business with him.
