Which is exactly why I said you have to look at it objectively for your customers sake. Your guy says he owns up to any mistakes that he makes, that's good. I do the same at my job. It's unfortunate that many companies take the stanse of "it'snot our fault until you prove it's our fault." |

His entire basement was trashed, holes in the wall, bottles broken in the wall, blood everywhere (not his). You have to be freaking kidding me - and I screwed Brent to huh? He screwed himself. As for the rest of your email - I am only on through X games for Rally - we may do a rally in Jamaica in late August and another in December. STPR kicked our but last year - first stage :( Mike Huml SBR Inc. |

Damn. 11 pages in 1-2 days? That was a fun morning read I suppose.
But to be ontopic, SBR guys, I don't think I will ever steer and head your way for products and goods. I'll give you the honest neutral customer opinion. 1. Your products are pricy. (You stated earlier that we should bring the attention or something like that. But in fact, you guys should be lookin around as well and know about it. Remember, not alot of people have money to burn, but we will when we need / want the right thing.) 2. Your reputation isn't great. (It doesn't matter how hard your trying to rebuild your reputation. When it comes to performance parts and tuning, word of mouth can travel a long long way. And in general, with any business, rebuilding your reputation from a pile of ashes can be one of the hardest things to do. Take the makers of Tylenol. When they screwed people over in the past, it ruined them. Took them so many years to be a good brand again.) My recommendation to you is, to fix your customer service, keep at it, and be an incredibly big suckup to the public. Secondly, your going to have to impose a better quality control at SBR. Why? Apparantly from all the negative public opinion about you guys, if your always waiting to get an "invoice" number or something like that to respond to a problem, and not really look into it, then your in trouble In addition, like it or not, if something went through that turbo once, twice, and so forth in a rather short amount of time, you shouldn't come to the conclusion that something went through it. Explore all possible answers, as I am well aware that you guys are very informed on what they could be. During my days of research on products, there's not too many great reps for SBR. Based on that, I will never deal with you guys until there is nothing but news of good luck streaming in the web about your company. Sometimes, it also truly does seem that SBR doesn't care about customers at all, and there is some behind the scenes work that you guys are doing just to get money. But thats just from a neutralist opinion that doesn't know much and doesn't really research companies much, only reviews. Sucking up and having patience are your steps to being as reputable as Forced Perf. Personally, for online vendors outside of Minnesota, there's one place that I do like. Reason? Their price was good and their customer service was great as hell. One example, I returned a product, I didn't call him to checkup on it. He called me back, left me two messages. First message was of notice, second was of what he did and If I think differently, give him a call back. If i was to purchase something online, it'd be that one shop. But in the future, whenever I need my goodies, the best shops are the few and only, sponsors of this forum. I don't know them, haven't met them personally, but these boys bust their chops for us, and for that, I definitely am going to support them. They've shown true dedication, integrity, honesty, and so much more. All I can say is Good luck on the rebuilding of your company's reputation. I'm not bashing you, i'm just taking the neutral point of view from a person who doesn't really know much about dsms:nod: |

Behind the scenes work that makes our money? Its this kind of nonsense false crap that has given us this name. What the hell are you talking about? Once you tell me that - I can try to address the rest of your concerns. Mike Huml SBR Inc. |

I agree that there is no need to hit a woman. I do not condone it nor would I ever do it. I can see how it can escalate to that though, even with a very mild mannered person (not saying Brent is or isn't). None of us were there to see it so it is your word against everyone else's. I am not getting in the middle of it saying it was his or someone else's fault. Just pointing out that what was posted was not concrete evidence of a crime. Why are you only doing up until X games? You are missing out on some of the best roads in the US for rally. LSPR (Lake Superior Rally) and Ojibwe are some of the best run events around. As for the rest of moy post, you didn't address it, but that's ok. I understand. |

So you be a man and say "sorry, I know we had problems in the past. It was my responsibility as the owner to monitor my employees and I didn't do that enough. We have been taking serious strives to fix this problem and have gotten rid of several employees and added new ones who are working out much better." That is how a real business person does it. You cannot erase the past, you just have to deal with it the best you can. Even if it was Craigr's fault, he was still representing your company, therefore it all comes back to you. Quit playing the blame game and take responsibility for your company. |

They should really care about issues from the past because if they are never fixed they will be brought up again and again. Angry customers go a long way to keep others from going through the same headache. Sure you probably have tons of happy customers but you should be striving toward maintaining a level of unhappy customers that reach the level 0 or close to it... I somehow don't see that right now. I found this interesting, and Id like your take on how you think too many variables to give any refund is even acceptable from a shop, when the problem was obviously their fault? You might want to follow PSI's attitude toward going one step further for customers if you want your name to raise up from the ground weve pounded it into... http://www.geocities.com/ftrkeaka/sbrpsi.htm |

Nonsense false crap? Whether its true or not, If you read many of your negative reviews, it would basically appear as if you guys are sending half assed products or services. When something busts, you guys dont' take care of it. And to be honest, I haven't said a single thing about your company until that last post. And really, I don't need any issues or concerns to be addressed as I haven't dealt with you guys before. I just wanted to give you an opinion. Sometimes taking in the public opinion maybe a bit harsh, but deal with it. Especially since i'm giving you one that is pretty clear, standard, and unbiased. |

There's been a few shops here in MN that are in the same boat your in. I don't know them, never shopped there, but from others reviews about the place, i've stayed clear. As i've said before, I won't call you guys up, I won't talk to you guys, and neither will I buy anything from you guys, until I hear nothing but streaming good news about your company. Its the thought of spending a crapload of money on products and having it bust, or not getting anything in return but more headaches that keeps people away. |
Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
Everyone run around and point fingers at everyone else and then not worry about it, maybe it will go away.

I was at LSPR last year - awesome in the UPPIE? We had a blast at the "Dog"..... but not sure we will make it this year. Depending on how the money is that time of season depends on what we will do(We foot the entire rally bill - and since you will not buy from us we may not have the money to participate). But - we will be in Jamaica for Rally Jamaica in December - I have two other customers running our motors their - and we had a blast last year. Mike Huml SBR Inc. |

When a company has 6000 new customers in one year - and 1% are mad. Haw many people are mad? When a company has 1000 new customers a year - and 1% are mad. How many people are mad? Which is easier to deal with? How many more mad people does the first comapny have? Which company has a better success rate? Is 1% mad - failure, or success? Mike Huml SBR Inc. |

The 2 reasons I won't buy from you is the negative publicity and I just don't have a car to build up right now. I understand how tough it is to foot the bill for a rally season. It's a shame you aren't closer to MN, we are having a series of C1's for about $150-200 each. The first one is this weekend and you get 40 stage miles and about 17 miles of transit. No hotel or anything. But you are too far away. If the reviews start coming in steadily that you guys have truly turned around and started working well with your customers, I may start buying from you. But I would rather deal with someone that has a good reputation in the business rather than a shaky one at best. As far as women getting beat up, I met my now ex-girlfriend right after she got out of an abusive relationship. She was put into the hospital on the last time and pressed charges. If there were no charges pressed, there must be a reason why. While I agree no man should hit a woman, obviously he didn't just sit there and then out of the blue start wailing on her. There must have been something leading up to it. |

And to answer your question, its 60, 10, and the 60 should be easier to deal with b/c your a bigger comopany, more revenues, and should have better resources to handle your problems. Top of that, if its occurred before and hasn't been fixed, then that 1% will increase. Thus it would have been easier if you fixed it in the first place. |

If they are mad with product, maybe not failure but can be addressed to not cause mad customers because of poor customer service. We had a motto at our old shop; "We carry many items but only one product, service." This was from a shop that serviced over 3/4 of the hydraulic repairs in Norway with no advertising money spent and only 3 people working the business. |
