I would like to comment on a couple of things as I know they need to said. When I first started my business, I was a little wet behind the ear so to speak and made choices that were not to the the benefit of my clients or the longevity of my business. I have since seen the light about 2 years ago and my big passion in life is to make sure you have a great experience with us.
To the gentleman that had some cracked boots, please contact me as I would like to make it up to you.
Eliot, I heard from your friend that the company who installed my system on your car when out of business and from your friends POV, they did not know anything about air ride or VW's. Whether or not that is true or not, you and he would know the facts better. I consider you an awesome client and in the event you let me help make it up to you in a future build, I will not let you down. I will honestly hook a brother up.
I would like to set the record straight. Nothing Eric G says is a fact. Everything is a fabrication only to get a nod from fellow friends.
Timeline for my beams
In the beginning, I cut down German beams to size till about 2004.
2004-2006 Franklins VW Werks build my beams as I did not have the time to build them and I passed the business to him as good friends do.
2007 Franklin could not keep up with the demand because cores were getting hard to find and I contacted Keoki to build them for me. IIRC, I purchased 26 beams from him that year. All of them were returned to me due to my clients not liking the quality and I built them my Ultimate beams in exchange.
26 beams x $350 on Avg = $9100 that I ate, then had to furnish them with my beams in which just the parts run $189.75 each plus the return call tags and shipping.
$9100 + $4933.50 + Shipping = a $14K mistake.
Since them I personally make them in house and have done almost 750 of them with pride and only one return.
My website specifically states that stock bus wheels will not fit. I do not sell them in hopes that they fit or the customer does not care. His referral means business for me. I am not here to make a buck today and be gone tomorrow.
I want everyone to know the facts, I am not going to rant further being defensive about anything. I am here to help and get the industry strong. If I make mistakes, I want to fix them and make sure they don't happen again. To see what i am talking about, check my samba feedback, RestoResearch, Yelp, everyone needs to be happy with what we provide.
I hope you guys will reconsider, I am being genuine, I am here for life.
