Help: D&M Motorsport Chicago rip off

[Tommy]

Steffen -
This is not a comment about who is right in your dispute with D&M, but perhaps it will give you some insight. I lived near Kaiserslautern Germany for about five years. During that time, I had a disagreement with a local auto dealer over a repair job he did for me. At first I thought he was dishonest. I later learned that German auto repair shops approach repair work differently than do American shops. He wasn't dishonest. He was different than I expected because our cultures are different. Perhaps some of your communications problems with D&M come from cultural differences rather than inappropriate behavior by either party. Good luck with your car.

Steffen,

I'm glad you are enjoying your car. Forget about your bad experience and know that you will never let something like that happen to you again.

In regards to the mounting of the harness, I can't really help you. My car is in winter storage so I can't take a hard look at how they are installed. This is something that needs to be done correctly, so don't rely on guess work.

Have you been to the SCOF library yet ? There may be a how-to in there ?

Good Luck!!

We all learn from these experiences, especially when involved on a personal basis. Years ago I purchased an out of state auto from a Dealer without a personal inspection and the vehicle delivered differed in major ways from the discussion, pictures, condition, etc. It was sold " As Is "

After lengthy attemps to resolve, phone calls, registered letters, etc I contacted the Attorney General's office, with complete documentation, in the state the auto was purchased from. With their quick intervention, there was a mutualy agreeable resolution.

I recall, I think, it was mentioned that having used registered/certified US Mail , helped the case since there are supporting Federal laws on using US Mail to perpetuate a fraud. Those with the legal expertise, correct or ?

I have an install document for the harnesses...PM me with your email address and I'll send it to you....

steffen, I bought a slightly used SPF a few years ago from Dynamic in Ross, Oh. My engine spun a bearing w/3500 miles. Needless to say, upon disassembly the motor was junk(not the 400hp performance motor that was documented. Internals....stock with a cam. Built by Performance Engineering..No return phone calls!!!! Don't let it get you down..what goes around ..comes around!
