ABSOLUTE SPEED^$%^%#%$

ok now. i sent my payment to ABSOLUTE SPEED for a set of stg 2 heads.i sent my payment or 1550.00 for a set of heads including the 300.00 core charge. i se it on AUGUST-4-2004. it is now SEPTEMBER-30-2004. i have spoken to him via email. first he said they cnc'ed my heads wrong. now i find that they have not even started on them. i have asked for my money back several times with no response except --i will have to build them and sell them and give you a refund. what kind of shit is that? i have asked repeatedly for a refund and have yet to receive it. i thought the sponsers were suppose to take care of us. hell lately it seems as if i have recieved the short end of the stick. well i am unable to get ahold of him at all it seems. can anyone else help out here.

Man that guy is giving you a line of :bs:
He prolly is reluctant to give the money back because he has already spent it. And on top of that the company is probably in the red.
I wouldn't be surprised if he tells you he's filed a Chapter 13.
Seen it happen twice so far. Not with them but with local shops around town.

I say if you can't get him pretty soon, sue that sucka. :bash:

P.S. May sound extreme but if it has been that long I would be wanting to see something for my money. I would also probably ask for a partial refund even after getting the heads. Can't mess around with these little mom and pop shops or they will screw ya over. But heck, your money....just my :twocents:

hey Lance, do you have their address and formal information...I have access to some files to see if they have judgements, liens, or if they are going belly up. If they have a federal ID number that would be great, but I could probably find them with a legitimate company address and phone number better than the cell phone number on his website. Did you get any sort of receipt of payment or goods at all?

no they have moved. hold on .

that is the mods. i am also going to put on some slp 1.85 rockers. thanks again jay. oh yay we also talked via email--badbow1@aol.com.

That's an awefully large id #...I'll see what I can dig up though. In the mean time...1600 bucks is alot of dough you should probably go to small claims court, flirt with the clerk and see what you can do to set a small claims case. They will most likely not show and you'll win a judgement. Lengthy, but better than nothing. I'll let you know in a couple of days if I hear anything from creit indeminity insurers...I get 10 free searches a year. We'll see.

um if thats paypal..file a "resolution" dispute or whatever

Yeh werd that...file something with PayPal...it will get somebody's attention. They are apparently doing business out of their basement (pictures on their website give that away) they don't have much info on DNB or local IRS files for receivables and payble info.
Is this them...
ABSOLUTE SPEED SHOP
2747 W WALNUT HILL LN
IRVING, TX 75038-5218 ?

no thats not them. they are in mastic beach ny 11951 516-987-9392
that is them.

Weird, AS came off as a straight shooting head shop to me...

Anyword back yet?

nope nothing.

Absolute Speed heads are worth the wait. I have seen them out perform Stage II heads form other companies. I saw a Dyno with a 40HP improvement over another stage II head with the same size valves.

Hmmm...that number is a cell via a search. a Nassau, NY based phone number and the registered carrier is Cellco Partnership Dba Verizon Wireless. Not that you care...you just want your heads I am sure.

Ask this guy...maybe he'll know something....

Shweet. I hope you get something to work out. I am all about sticking it where the sun don't shine in F!@#ers that take your money and run or just even stop communicating with you. If you can come up with an actual street address I might be able to come up with some more info...I can on ly find two businesses in Mastic Beach with the word Speed in their name...and they are speed shops. (Speed Detailing...ect) Keep us informed!

hey he now has a new shop. something like palpina motorsports or something like that. i am trying to get more info now.

he sent me an email. said he will have to sell the heads to get me a refund. or else he will have to charge me a restocking fee of 20%. i told him to sell them. hell since the truck is down i might get him to ship them to me and put them on. but i do need the money right now.

did the sob tell you why he's been avoiding you... :nono:

an email? some F-er he is. Make sure you put Speed in your sig along with century! :tantrum: All this time. Sorry man.

HEY DENALI.....you dont know me....but I'm big on customer service also. I found this today. these guys keep calling the guy from ABSOLUTE "JAY" like they know him....one guy even says that there are a couple peeps that have been waiting for like 3 months and longer for their heads. If you havent read this here it is.....sorry if it's a re-post. I'm going to make an account and ask them what the new shop is called....or maybe just start a new thread. Just tryin to lend a hand...I'm not a legal guy so I cant really help ya there, but maybe someone can get a name outa this vette website......LATER........HY-ME


P.S I go on deployment next monday (18th of OCT). So I wont be able to follow up from the boat to see what happens with a new shop response......GOOD LUCK
