Post subject: | email from Mustgofaster |
I'm enclosing a letter I recieved from Dave's wife at mustgofaster. I'm not sure if I'm buying all of this, and its to late for me anyhow, cuz Ed's doing mine now, but I thought you guys might be interested. Quote: Robert,
I want to apologize for the long delay in any communication. We have experienced some real customer service problems here lately and I'm afraid you may be a victim of it. I hope the attached letter will answer any questions you might have had recently about our customer service, business, etc. Could you update us on the status of your programming? Are you currently owed a retune or a core refund? I haven't seen any e-mails from you lately so I wasn't sure and as you can see from the letter below we haven't been able to trust our CC software to confirm whether anybody has had their core charge creditted. Thanks for taking the time to help us get this figured out. Michal Harris, MUSTGOFASTER Racing Dear Valued Mustgofaster Racing Customers I'm Michal Harris, Dave's wife. I'm writing to you to address a few urgent matters and to explain our sudden, unannounced, and unforgiveable absence. Let me start off by stressing a few points: - Mustgofaster racing is not out of business, has not skipped town, and has no intention of defrauding any of our customers. We are here, alive and well, and ready to work diligently to regain customer confidence. - I know that several of you are desperately awaiting refunds for cores (see below) and/or overdue for re-tunes or delivery. As far as I can tell, you all have legitimate, pressing complaints and we are committed to making things right with you. On a personal note, I feel obligated to share with you that a short time ago my father was diagnosed with terminal, inoperable cancer and liver failure. This has turned our family completely upside down. We are such a small, personal, family operation with no employees other than ourselves, that this prevented Dave from filling orders and responding to e-mails and phone calls almost entirely, yet he was not comfortable explaining our personal/family situation to all of you. I am sure that from our customers' point of view this looked like a pretty scary disappearing act on our part, and for that we issue a heart-felt apology to all of you. I am glad that Dave put me and my family first, but I wish we could have done it in a way that had avoided such inconvenience to all of you. We are very sorry. Secondly, in typical fashion of things only going wrong when you can least deal with it, the company that handles our credit card transactions developed a software bug that prevented credits from going through properly. It looked on our end like you had been credited, but the money was never taken our of our account and transferred to yours. Because we have been tied up in other things, it wasn't until we received our monthly statement and realized that your charge backs were never removed from our account that we knew there was a problem. The problem is fixed now but some of you will be receiving credit checks instead of credits on your cards because we always delete credit card information once we credit the cores. Since we thought we had processed your credits, we no longer have your card info and I wanted to get refunds to you ASAP. All of this explanation isn't meant to excuse what I would consider to be far below the standards of nearly every consumer. I wanted to give you the full story because I think that overall most of you were happy with the performance gained with Dave's tuning, and our customer service was getting rave reviews before this crisis happened. Our customers are the reason for our existence. While we would understand if some of you would feel best to walk away at this point, we are very grateful for those of you willing to consider what I've said in this letter and who might be willing to take a chance on us again. For that reason, we'd like you to consider this letter your guarantee of LIFETIME FREE TUNING, anytime you need it, for any vehicle you ever own. All of that having been said, I need your help!! I have taken over all e-mail and phone communication for the company in order to ensure your questions are answered promptly, and my information may or may not be 100% accurate. If we owe you anything, such as a core charge refund or a retune, please contact me as soon as possible! I need you to tell me what would make things right with you!! We are rapidly working to get caught up and re-process core charge refunds, etc. I don't need proof of returns or anything like that, just shoot me an e-mail or call me voice with the approximate date you returned the item or if you are waiting on a retune or whatever. Let me know if you want a refund or tuning and I'll respond to you within 24 hours. Again, thank you for those who are still able to have the patience to deal with us. We truly think that we offer a great service and great value in our tuning, which is why we decided NOT to close our doors given all of our recent problems. We cannot apologize enough for the trouble we have caused you, but I am hoping this communication, the processing of your overdue refunds, and the open offer for lifetime free tuning will begin to make amends and earn back our customers confidence. Thank you, Michal Harris Dave Harris, MUSTGOFASTER Racing Performance PCM / ECM Tuning http://www.mustgofaster.net mustgofaster racing uses TunerCat (http://www.tunercat.com) for all ECM / PCM tuning! |

There is NO excuse for not keeping your customers posted for months ! Evertbody has experienced the loss of a close one but after mourning life goes on and a bussiness cannot leave customers in doubt for months due to a family crisis. No need to fill in the world on the family problems, but a simple 3 sentence email could be send out to all customers saying they are experiencing problems, etc etc. This takes about 2 minutes and i see not how someone could not find the time. Also , would you really believe a credit card company would have a bug in the software which takes it toll on dozens of companies and they take months to solve it ?????? The letter is nice and they really seem to try to gain the customers back but i personally think they've had their change and see no reason why people would choose them with several other options outthere. |
