The only thing I can say about HTU is for a 15 dollar turbo glow plug - I'll support my local tracks and online stores. And the day HTU has parts in stock rather then try and sell a kit and or have some valid advice, will be the day. The few times I've (And I mean few) been in HTU I was blown away by the advice they were giving a backyard racer. Sure you can leave you car with us and we'll fix for a crazy fee, rather then give some advice on how to maintain their car and keep enjoying it. (That's half the fun) I guess some have the money to blow like that but lets be real rape is rape!
I crack up hearing people pride about "I work at HTU" big deal, I rank that up with watching paint dry, just a waste of time.
Please don't ask me how I really feel about HTU

It happens. The OS A5 plug is 17.99. That is absolutely absurd. It really depends who you talk to as far as repairs go. I have seen some repairs there that just piss me off as to why they get taken in. We as techs though get $10 an hour additional to repair the customer cars, so why not do it? If its something easy usually we take care of it, ie my car wont start. But usually when someone brings a dirty truck in and drops it down and says fix it, we will charge them out the ass to do so. Alot of it depends on the customers attitude though as well. Come in with a shitty attitude, get shitty service.
How do you really feel about Hobbytown?
you right about HTU, they charge people a "sitting behind the counter fee",HTU prices are outrageous, what flip me out i went there to get a body crowd pleaser body for my revo the price was $39.99.....took to the counter ask them are they serious because online it $22 plus shipping 3.25....they look at me said we don't compete with online store and i prices are fair to the customer... so you can imagine the look on my face.....so i try to stay away from that place unless the bookstore sold out of rc caraction

The great thing about living in a democracy is if you don't like someting then you can always find something else. Enjoy the $30 in gas driving a couple of hours to another track.

Wow, Some people never learn. The "sitting fee" that was refered to
is directly reflected in the exhaustively over priced products sold by HT, ie they have to mark these items up in order to pay you to sit behind the counter and act like you know something about the hobby. Let me say however, I do appreciate your candor, in admitting that HT overcharges and in return offers shitty service, that took balls! What I dont understand is why you are still here, stiring the pot, after you have stated earlier that you were done with this thread. Maybe you are a glutton for punishment, or maybe you just like the taste of your own foot, either way you are not helping HobbyTown or the hobby in general for that matter, at the end of the day thats what its all about, right? THE HOBBY!

Seriously do you think I care about your opinion of myself? No. I could careless what YOUR opinion is of ME. Maybe if you weren't behind your keyboard YOU wouldn't be trying to act like such a hard-ass. I invite you to come up to hobby town Kennesaw and look for me on a weekend, and we can sit down and talk like grown ups about your problems you have with myself. Ill extend that invitation out to who ever feels they have been wronged.
