well this is stang2841 (post here often)



Well I've had a bad experience down at gearhead Today....



I go in there often and have spent just about 1000 dollars there in the past month.....


somehow I have gotten a Autometer tach that says 1999 on it?

MSD6A box
Blaster coil (supposed to be a blaster 2 but dont want to go back and argue and hear more bullshit)
Ford Racing 9mm wires that Smell like ABSOLUTE ass (wires dont smell pretty but these will make you gag)
and Last but Not least march aluminum underdrive pulleys...( supposed to be BBK ... Long Story)



well here it goes I went in there, Asked for the following MSD6A, Blaster 2Coil, ford racing 9mm wires and to exchange mac steel underdrive pulleys for BBK aluminum pulleys because the Mac pulleys weighed 2lbs a piece... I got a smartass attitude and a bunch of avoiding etc.... (this could be that im 16... but 400 dollars is 400 dollars) well after the transaction I got the MSD6A and the wires and was told I got to wait until monday to get the other parts.... so I agreed and said I will be back monday


I called that monday and he told me that there are still not in yet and the BBK aluminum underdrive pulleys are taking longer then usual... So I came in today (tuesday)

Upon arrival I was ignored for about 5-10 minutes while he was talking to other employees, so I waited...


well his son then goes in the back and gets me a generic MSD stock replacement coil and says its just as good as a Blaster 2 coil...


he then hands me the "BBK aluminum underdrive pulleys"


all went well and I returned back to my car and as I was about 2 minutes away I opened the unusually heavy BBK aluminum underdrive pulleys, valuah MAC steel Underdrive pulleys that are BLACK in color.... after seeing this me and my friend turn around and go back to gearhead, as soon as I walked in the door the owners son and wife walks into the back and I start to talk to ed the owner. He precedes to act all buddy buddy with me and quotes "so somebody got out the scales on me eh?" after trying to remain my cool I said "guess so" and went on. he then claims he never checked them blah blah shitload of excuses, then started saying that BBK doesnt make aluminum underdrive pulleys, but then returned the statement after realizing I Specifically asked for BBK aluminum underdrive pulleys and wondered if they had the same price as summit. well all in all he told me I had to wait till next monday to get the BBK aluminum underdrive pulleys, and after making a wierd look he asks "do you need them right away" so I replyed "yeah I kinda do" so he goes straight to a half opened march box and hands me some BBK/March aluminum underdrive pulleys......


after suspicion I went through the March Underdrive pulley and it came out being the bbk aluminum underdrive pulleys that I originally ordered....


well this pretty much sums it up...


Gearhead tryed to fuck me over plain and simple.


now that I got some half stock replacement coil and some BBk aluminum underdrive pulleys in a march box I think that there a bunch of scams....


his son had to be on it, and his wife has to be on it as well as they both fled to the back as soon as I walked in. he has his family in doing scams with them. I know it wasnt a big purchase(s) but dirty and wrong none the least.



well heres my conclusion DONT GO TO GEARHEAD!@


half there shit is opened all they are is a bunch of scams


Gear head in Dunedin BTW

 

thanks for the heads up!

 

My friend had kind of the same problems about a year ago and never went back either.

 

I never had any problems like that there, that ain't right!! Sorry to hear that.

ive boughten a few thing from ed. HE does get the items in.. just takes like a freakin week or two longer then what he saids. Orderd a tire that was about to blow and he told me itll be in in aabout 3-4 days.. iwas like um ok thats not to bad. So 4 days later the tire blows up and im lefted with with a spare on for a week because" the order never went through, i can order it express now and have to u in 2-3 days." ..blow me i bought new tires elsewhere. but for quick simple small things its a great place to go to.

 

I used to do quite a bit of business with them, he smack talks every other shop in town (of course all shops around here do) and their customer service is a bit lacking..... Nothing like waiting 15 minutes just to finally talk to someone, and like you said - things taking far longer than they should to arrive.

I especially like ordering the cometic gaskets, which took 2 weeks too long, and when they came in he "had" to charge me $20 more because he was wrong on the price in the first place.....

Plenty of other issues, all small... but yeha that's pretty messed up.

I have yet to find a single helpfull, honest shop in town.

 

to be honest, i dont go there often, but i have been there 3 times in the past month and they always had the parts that i wanted/needed in the time that he said he would have em. usually 1-2 days after i called. but im sorry to hear that.
