This is a hard concept to face, b/c if everyone is afraid and won't see that you've changed, how will others know? Thats why i tried pointing out that its going to be a tough path to go in the future, but for some reason, its not about trying to understand and improve, its about excuses. Not sure if its you or someone else, you guys have SBR by your names lol.

Heading in the right direction WOHOO

Joe - SBR

Why should I give my money to a company that says they are better, when I can give my money to a company that I KNOW is good? Why the hell should I take your word for it, you are a salesman! If I believed every salesman I would have a Tornado installed in my intake and those stupid magnets on my fuel line.

Then it's time for more wrenching and less internet usage. Let your boss attempt to repair his own image, you guys are doing him more harm than good.

Now Jet, it looks like your rather new as far as your "legit" business goes.
Take your current customer base, and multiply it by 300%. You think you will have 100% perfection? Even if you kept a very low number of complaints, as your business grows, complaints will too.

I know this, my parents have had their own business for 35 years and I grew up in it. The difference is, I will not say "99% customer satisfaction is good and I hope to keep it there. I will say 99% customer satisfaction isn't good enough and I am going to strive for 100%. If I don't see an improvement every year, then something is wrong.

Now that everyone is aware of the company turn around, try it again...you dont have to buy much or even say your from this thread...just call. hell, you dont even need to buy anything, just call and talk to me, or chris, or jason, or chance, or teh other jason, ..lol, or Mike...youll see im not asswipe, nor is anyone else. I give help to anyone that calls, i may not take shit from anyone but im not a dick. Try it, just once and then make your opinion.

Its good that you understand. But yes, the hardest part to figure is why people are still quick to blow up on a business due to its past but is not willing to give it another shot. Being aware of a company turn around doesn't necessarily mean that it washes the past. Remember, once a disatisfied customer, maybe always a disatisfied customer, especially when you guys are in face competition. And this isn't no simple thing as the local kfc chicken of 10 bucks, this is big hard earned money.

I'll tell you one thing tho Joe, if you guys really really want to move forward and progress, you'll listen to this. Like I said before, just look at Tylenol. Their past scandal. Ruined everything, and it took them an incredibly long time to recover. Customers shouldn't be the ones to first initiate the interaction. You guys should be constantly doing this.
Rebuilding trust is hard, and the first step should not be on the customers.

One didn't come out perfect, but noone was really unhappy.

The key to a good company is how you deal with the problems that WILL arise. If a problem happens, you need to do your best to fix the problem with the customer.

You also keep saying that you weren't notified of the problems. In my case (probably 3 years ago) I had left several messages for you and talked to you 3 times. You did nothing the first 2 times.

I am a very fair guy - if I honestly did nothing - then chances are it was not our fault.

Case in point - a customer from Germany emailed a bitch list this morning about things missing from his order - and left bad feedback for us on his forum - before he even spoke to anyone here.

Guess what? We take pictures of all over seas orders as they are being packed - sent them to the customer - and he said "oh - yea I found them in the box"..... and stuff like this happens daily - now - who is wrong in this situation? If I had not had pictures - it would be my wife's word (who handles all over seas orders) vs. his. If I had not had pictures - I would have been both the bad guy and sending him free parts.

Yep, before you came on here 75% of the board wouldn't have ordered from you. Now since you are acting like asshats, none of us will! There is a great marketing strategy.

Since you run your own business, you should know it does not look good when you talk bad about another business.

Since you are giving me tips, there is my freebie to you - the next one will cost you!

Read a few books.

I do not like people mad at me, but 1% is not a bad ratio. There are companies that would kill to have it that good.

There is that same attitude, it isn't my fault! You lost my fucking payment receipt and noone would look into it further. You sat on $600 of mine for 2 weeks while my car was down. Sorry, that must have been my fault. You guys are hopeless, I am done with this thread.

i wish i could work for a company where 6 of us sit on forum all day and make people angry.

to be fair, it does take time for credit card companies to refund the card. Im not telling you what the situation was because i dont know the whole story but i am putting other information out there about what the case could have been.

Send me your name - if this is true I can verify.

I doubt no one would look into it for you.

How did you make payment?
