Joe Touch Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Well, seems as though I am the minority here. I already know what I want to do with my car and I just wanted some quotes. Guess I didn't articulate that well enough. Communication, the cause of every problem. Thanks for everyone's input, two drops in a bucket, F**k it.

SurlyOldManMN Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm not seeing anything that strikes me as "nasty". What happened when you raised your customer service complaint to Mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk6933 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I don't see anything wrong with Mike's words. Even for my PMs from him, he responds in a very "straight-forward" way, the same way he responds to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titoedge Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 i'm not seeing anything nasty in his response. thanks for the heads-up, but maybe it would be better placed in a different sub-forum. this is for used car parts, not exactly reviews of shops...

burnout8488 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 You seem sensitive. If anything, his response would give me confidence that he only does things the right way....exactly what you want from a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vr4Legacy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 ^agreed. I assume you contacted Infamous Tuning first with your complaints? I don't see any dates on your posts, how much time lapse is there from your initial response to Infamous about the poor service to this negative review? Have you tried calling him and speaking directly with him to let him know you are disapointed that he didn't go "above and beyond". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Mike is very direct - I do not find any of his responses to be disrespectful or humiliating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 dont really see the "meanness" in his replies, imo your current mods are all over the place. upgraded fueling & intake on the stock turbo? it sounds like you're just upset he didn't plan out all your future mods for you instead of you researching and deciding what you want on your own. Certainly not worth this big callout thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddh1 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have to agree with everyone else here on this one. He's been nothing but helpful to me, and very friendly at that. Just honest and straightforward, which is all I'm really seeing in the pm's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferenczy33 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It appears someone may need to get some thicker skin. You asked for advice and an opinion, and you got it...but feel disrespected or put off by it?? I don't understand? You have to understand that these tuners field questions all day long like yours and then some. When they are being asked the same questions over and over (i.e., what do you think about this setup, or that setup, should I buy this part, or that part) when the answers to most of these questions is widely available by using the search function, sometimes they get a little frustrated. I saw nothing in his responses that could be deemed as disrespecting in any way. All he stated was that you have a lot of info you are throwing at him all at once. He defined that you should take a step back, do some more research and start with one component at a time and then even provided you with his opinion on what is on your shopping list that will work for your goal, and what is simply a waste of your money.

RJS5689 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I don't see anything mean or disrespectful at all about his replies. He just seems like a straight-forward kind of guy. He's direct and gives you everything up-front and simple. He sounds like someone I'd want to do business with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyDan Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think you are over reacting. Nothing bad, nasty or disrespectful in those comments posted above. Mike is a very busy man . But he always has great advice to give. I'm sure he gets 20 emails like that everyday. Some people don't take shortcut when it comes to these type of mods, it can only cause problems for them down the road. His info is clear and to the point and he will tell you which of your planned mods are overkill or needless. He is the man with the 20+ years experience. I hope you contacted mike first before putting up A pretty nasty review. Just my 2 cents on the matter. I hope you get your car built the way you like in the end. Lots of useful info on here and easy found with the search feature or on google sometimes yields more accurate results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosten-n-bluntin Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 ^+1 Didn’t see any disrespect... actually, seems like a nice guy, I look forward to buying a clutch & FW from mike.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I don't think Mike's specialty is sugar-coated answers. But I do think he is knowledgeable and does a great job wrenching on cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutrain Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Mike offers nothing but straight forward responses. He is a valued member of this community that donates his expertise and time to better the experiences of all. His style of conversation may be blunt, but most people like that cause they know they aren't given bullshit and being upsold. I have bought a few pricier items from Mike and will continue to do so. Will be giving the Competition Clutch package a try through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istealfrombums Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 This thread makes no sense. First it's in a completely wrong sub-forum. There was no transaction so therefore you have no real review to write. And most importantly I fail to see one statement that even attempts to belittle you.

fishbone Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I can't speak for Mike but oftentimes when I am multitasking I also tend to be straight to the point and matter-of-fact in my responses. That is what I see in his reply. I was expecting stuff along the lines of personal insults, not responding to your questions etc. but I see none of that.

ruggerheist Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 wow, dude, way to miss the mark on that one. mike was nothing but honest with you, and didnt want to see you waste your monies. but if that is belittling to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Interwebs fail? You're upset because he didn't want to sell you the POS hose? He helped you with your mod path and advised against shortcuts? I don't see any issue here??? Gotta appreicate a straight shooting vendor. I've only bought one thing (set of rotors and fluid) from IP and they (Mike) were very responsive and followed up with the supplier regarding drop-shipment issues. Would definitely buy from again.
