Subject: RE:I can't take Jesse Azzato anymore by bogus on 2008/3/2 6:04:41 I left this thread up for one main reason - CF would delete any bad comments made about Jesse. It is a consumer alert. No question. He got into deep doo-doo about 4 years ago because he was selling tunes on the Forum and not paying the freight. He started to pay the freight, and it was the best $300 a month he could spend - it saved him from dealing with public humiliation every time he burned up someones motor with a bad tune. One major difference here will be that when we DO get paying vendors, they WILL NOT BE PROTECTED FROM THEIR OWN INCOMPETENCE!!!! I refuse to cover their collective asses because they screwed up. No way, no how. And that will be expressly stated up front. I would rather make this a donor supported site than have vendors who won't abide by that requirement. It is the worst kind of protectionism. If you are screwing up, it needs to be revealed. Plain and simple. At the same time, I hope folks will sing the praises of the good vendors. In short, I am going to force them into being customer centric. If they refuse to play, bye. Don't need you around. I know it's a crappy attitude, but it's one brought on by too damned many fly-by-night operations that don't support their customers. This is really getting me angry thinking about Jesse screwing customers, and the forum actively protecting him from being accountable. It seems so counterintuitive. And yes, Jesse has a bad reputation for being SLOW. It goes way back, it's the #1 reason why I never did business with him. It was Hot-Rod 90 (Brad) that was screwed by a Jesse tune. I don't remember ALL the details (I can get him over here to fill in the blanks), but the tune was WAY too lean, burned a piston and required another rebuild. Brad then sent the chip to someone else (I think it was Alvin, but I am not 100% sure) and they confirmed that the custom chip was all messed up. Again, I don't remember details, but I am close on the big points. Brad can detail it for us if needed, I am sure. And Brads isn't the only engine this has happened to. I have heard of a couple of others, but don't have any empirical data to go with that. I use TJ Wong... and I need to get him over here!!!! |
