The truth about tuners.....

oldone · October 22, 2006, 02:50:11 PM

Personally I think that most workshops are really busy,most of them have not got receptionists or people taking calls on behalf of the owners.There is nothing more frustrating than having to answer a tele call when you are just getting your teeth into some serious work.....takes your mind of the job at hand and it wastes good time....hence most vendours have to work long hours.
I personally email or pm them,state what I want and wait for the reply.......even if it takes a day or two.:Typing

Got my car from Pip @ WGT on Friday.

A big thanks for waiting for me to arrive - traffic problems meant I didnt get there til nearly 6:30! The 3 1/2 hour journey turned in to just over 5!

I must say that I\'m very pleased with the work. The car went for a full re-build, bigger secondary injectors (after one of the old ones failed) and WI.

A new water pump was also fitted after he noticed a leak during testing - at least it happened when it was up there!

When he hasnt been able to take my calls, their very helpful receptionist has taken a message and Pip has always returned them promptly.

The car will need a re-map when the engine has done 1k and I can safely say that I will be going back to WGT.

I have looked through the whole of this thread, and the only post I can find from you is back in 2005, I cannot find a recent post from you on this thread, have I just missed it! if so can you post your post again.

Thanks

i had e-mailed them. even asked one a second time. not even a "ill try and find out"

one thing i cant stand is when i either dont get a reply or even worse when they say they\'ll phone me back and dont. in the past i have not bothered chasing them (them being any one that sells sumit) i just go elsewhere.

in this instance i have found someone that can help so i dont need the vendors reply. i just thought i\'d post this so they might think next time to reply. they may be too busy to reply now but they wont be very busy when their potential customers are going elsewhere.

rant over. :WaveBye

I\'m guessing Jason meant the Top of the forum where all the vendor banners are?

Yes thats what he meant, ,,, but he\'s a bit illiterate

Besides I don\'t think anyone still stock spares for his bangers anyway.........

how the hell did you get a job as a moderator. just because your old banger is 2 years newer than mine doesnt make it that much better. at least when my car goes wrong i sort it out myself not pay someone to do it. thats the trouble with the rx7 comunity. if it aint an fd its just a piece of $H1t. probably why the vendors didnt bother replying.:flamed

t2rew: Maybe your way of speaking to other pepople made them not answer.
I have asked vendors and other people both here on the forum, and on PM\'s and have always recieved a reply. Either with good news or with bad about the things I am after. Maybe not the same day, or a few days after. But as in my own buisness, answering emails isn\'t the only thing I have to do.

For god\'s sake, just be pollite.
