Not a good first impression

[lovebus (jack)]

I ordered a set of Int. & Exh. valves from Peek Performance in MD last thursday and never got them. So I just called today to see it they went out and the guy says, I don't think they went out, do you still need them?  :rolleyes: I'll get them out today.
I said yes because I'm hoping they will be here by Friday.

I tried to give a more local shop some business and  :icon_confused:

Na, Ann & Kurt run "Vintage Performance" out of Delaware. Peek is run by Pete Peek, hes one of the long time VW racers you always see at Punch Buggy.

Hey what valves are you looking for? Stainless? We got a good deal from Berg for Mikes heads and the shipping was less than a week to my shop. Watch what you buy, I'm hearing theres lots of crap coming out of China these days.

You are right Bob. Seems like crap is coming from everywhere. I've had trouble with standard stock replacement parts from who knows what country. Correct items not in box, parts don"t fit, and poorly machined parts.

Anymore it pays to do the research and ask lots of questions..

don't remember who said it but "The Samba is your friend"
and so is "the shop talk forums", and any other source where people post their honest experiences. I've learned NOT to believe everything in the magazine(s). Remember who is paying for the ads....the same people trying to sell this crap!

Jack,

what size are you looking for ?

I would give them a call tommorrow and ask to speak to a manager or someone in charge. Introduce yourself as the VP of South Jersey Volkswagen Club and that your having a problem with your order. Ask this person if they can fix this situation so you can be "finished dealing with Peak Performance". Don't raise your voice, don't curse them out. Just make sure that they realize that you want to get this situation resolved so you can be finished dealing with his company.
If they make any kind of offer or gesture, gladly accept it, knowing full well that you will no longer deal with them and that you will forever trash their name here and in the club.
Then get onto that site that Jeff from CJVWC created for such occurances.

Jack,

Everyday go to hell Stock, non fuel Injected Int. valves.

[lovebus (jack)]

I would give them a call tommorrow
:icon_cool:

I called and they were closed so I left a message on their web site. I'll see what they do.

You got mixed up alright! Kurt & I own / operate Vintage Performance in Clayton, Delaware. www.vintageperformance.net 302-653-4269
If you had ordered valves (or anything else from me) & the payment was good, you would have received them in a timely manner. Not only that, but I don't have any retards working here that don't know the difference between intake & exhaust valves. I provide tracking numbers for shipments & make follow up calls to make sure everything is good when it arrives. So ................ wasn't me / I didn't do it!

Now that we got that straightened out ....................... :icon_cheesygrin:
