Emance Tuning? Jason? ... ya, don't.

Post by TramCommon »

Who wants another Jason/E-mance **** customer service story?

Unfortunately, I was stupid enough to buy an ECU off him about two years ago for my SOHC. I PayPal'd him the money and began the wait. I asked him for a tracking number right away after he claimed to have shipped it. He avoided the request. Two weeks passed and nothing. Again I asked for a tracking number... he avoided the request again. One month passed, nothing. Again, tracking number, nothing. Two months passed. I finally started to get pissed off. He then shoots me this beauty:

"Shoot I messed up and actidentally shipped your ecu to someone else I am going to get right on this and get another one tuned and shipped out
Sorry about that bud it was a honest mistake
Jason"


Ok, I guess accidents happen. So, I let it slide and begin waiting again. A couple weeks pass... still nothing. Again I pester him for a tracking number, which he finally does provide, but guess what? The tracking number doesn't work... surprise, surprise. Another month passes and nothing. I keep pressing him, but at this point it's been nearly three months and I've already put an SR20 into the car... accepting that my fully rebuilt KA-T will now have to be shelved because it has no tune. Roughly two weeks later the ECU finally arrives and I put it on a shelf with all my other KA-T parts to collect dust.

Fast forward to this month of 2013. I finally get around to installing the fully rebuit KA-T into a 240sx... everything's great... only, guess what? Jason's tune... yep, doesn't work for ****. Car can't even idle with it.

So, what to do. I e-mail him and explain the whole situation, I know it's been two years... but still, the whole reason it's taken two years to get it installed is because it took him over three months to get me the tune and I had to shelve it by then.

His response: "I'll re-tune it for you for $85."

It's not a re-tune... it never worked to begin with... you sold me damaged goods.

His response: "I'm being fair. You first inquire about a retune then a refund for a two year old product which I am trying to work with you. I got to get back to dyno tuning this 370z in shop.
Have a nice day."

Too bad... this could have been his chance to actually do something decent for one of his (foolish) customers.

Oh well, there you have it... yay... :(

Avoid this guy at all costs. I'm out more than just an ECU from purchasing one of his tunes... I'm essentially out an entire engine.

How do you recover from being a crook? :D


By the way, he was never banned from posting here, so he's welcome to come in and defend himself. Although, the few times that he tried, he had his a55 handed to him by a long list of unhappy customers. His biggest fan has always been user "crazys14", which it turns out, is a second account created by Jason himself.
