Default Re: Horrible Experience w/ Pro-Motion Tuning in VA

It is now 9pm James, im just getting off work. I also am a business owner trying to work all day. I AM the ONLY one in my company that works i have no help. I oppologize for not being around the phone but ive been under 4 different cars not including mine for the past week and am very limited on time. As i was not posting lies about your company i was merely stateing what the update was man, chill out. Since your shop is only open til 6 and i dont make it off work until usually around 9 and later if i go to my car it is quite difficult for me to get ahold of you.

This is meant to not be disrespectful but the only time i will have really available to talk will be Sunday this weekend as my Fiance is taking me out Sat. So if you please wouldnt mind give me a shout on AIM Sunday? I wish not to speak on the phone , all conversations will need to be in a typed message as to protect BOTH you and i in case you must feel the need to take legal action against me.

As the update i mean no disrespect as i was informing literally what has happened to this point. NOWHERE in that post was anything written to harm you nor your business. If you see it that way, then you need to please try to understand i am only stating my side of it.

UPDATErevised in plain English)

Promotion has opted to either not receive due to internet failure, and some of just not returning my ims. I have limited time in the AM and PM to contact them. Even via phone is next to impossible due to myself working on other clients cars all day. However i was able to reach James on AIM today. He stated that he was to busy to talk tonight, tomorrow(dyno day or something) so it will have to be pushed to Monday. And again will remain that James i would say if you can call me on SUnday as that is a day you have off so we may discuss this problem in great detail. I know its your day off and you will complain but i dont take days off and work all week. Sorry man, just call me on Sunday.

As of now there is no update, as i have not been able to work on our shop Evo due to tremendous amounts of work that i have lined up for the next few weeks. However at nite after this weekend and with xmas i may have some free time to go work on it. But as of now. Nothing is resolved or has been discussed. EVEN THOUGH JAMES HAS TRIED TO CONTACT ME VIA PHONE.

TONIGHT:
I recieved a threatening voicemail that i just got to that was left some time around 5-6pm this is what it stated-

"Jey this is james from Promotion it is 34939pm , i have tried to reach u by AIM ill be here another 10 mins and have tried to now reach u by phone. If these posts continue on these forums with LIES i WILL file a Disrepresentation of Character Lawsuit also against u on Monday morning. You have ability to end this by giving me a call back WITHIN the next 10 mins or deleting the post....so we will talk when u call. Bye."

......I was working at this time and was unable to call him, and unable to reach him or any one of his employees via AIM.

These are FACTS not LIES and i will continue to post them updateing as we go along stateing IF anything is being accomplished. PLEASE do not threaten me, i would never and HAVE NOT done anything to you guys, your open threats are not warranted by any of my activities. If you feel that what i have done or what i have said is a problem , then do what you must.

Thanks again,
Jey Morris

The guy posted his arguement like 4 months ago for ONE, TWO, they must have worked it out where as the guy is happy with the situation, got his parts back and is probably riding his 50trim to the fullest (from what he said he was gonna do instead of the 20G).

Now for this situation what was resolved?
he's on my 50trim turbo kit and hauling as at that. 400+whp on pump baby!

this thread sucks its a hole lot of he said she said and nothing getting done. there is a ton of posts that promotion has no tuner and that there work is questionable so basically business will get less and less for you sorry about your shop. as for this morris motorsports guy dude if i remotely thought a shop was the reason my car was messed up i WOULD MAKE TIME TO CALL THEM 50 TIMES A DAY. writing on the internet about the shop only promotes hostility and it dont really look like anything is getting done any faster. from what we have all read you already seem shady yourself so its to shady people bitching. stop bitching and find the time to fix the issue. SOLUTIONS PEOPLE SOLUTIONS

Jey, if you had the ability to work on your own car in your own shop why didnt you? Well the anwser is cause you cant work on it and you dont have a shop. And the only reason that you started this post was to get the owner of promotion, james, to drop the debt that you owe him cause you cant pay him. This post is pretty childish just because your car broke when YOU supplied the parts and the parts YOU supplied failed. Now if you had let Promotion get ALL the parts then i could see where you had something to stand on. As for now you dont have anything to stand on. OH and it was great when your girlfriend erin hit you and swole up your eye in front of the shop window. That was great!!!

Sometimes NEW parts go bad or are bad when purchased. Thats why you have the shop doing the work order the parts that way they can handle any problems. They cant do it with customer supplied parts. And when mitsu recomends changing a part it is kinda a given that you need to do it reguardless of your money situation. Cause if you dont it will cost you more if the 35 dollar part goes bad it will cost you 2500 plus as it has done here.

I was not told nor asked to replace any parts when changing the timing belt. I am not broke and i have money to pay promotion , i am not trying to get them to drop the charges i am trying to get them to pay for the problems they caused to my car. The tensioner, timing belt and pulley were changed less than 5k miles ago on the Evo when it was brought in to Promotion. I was never asked to replace anything until the car was damaged.

AGAIN...I in no way have said i DONT have money NOR will NOT pay promotion for the work they have done. I expect to pay them for everything. I in turn am only unhappy with alot that was done BOTH to ME and my Evo. I dont care about all this he said she said crap cause all it is doing is Promotion is trying to run me personally and my business into the ground. I merely posted this stuff on here to let people know what happened to my car and get answers from Promotion. I am not shady and i do not swindle people. Sorry the only instances people hear about on here are 1 problem that was resolved already and one that im am resolviing now. THIS is not about me in any way nor my shop. This has EVERYTHING to do with Promotion, and the work that was done to my car. AND all i want is promotion to fix a few things. Grow up, stop bashing me, find something better to deal with. And Chris do you work for Promotion? Why the hell would u and your friends be workinng or EVEN touching my car? Promotion seems to think that you know everything about the evo, and that is why you were working on it? (yet another thing i didnt like, non employed people hanging around my car working on it.)

Anyway what i want out of this is merely this: RESOLUTION of these caused problems to my vehicle.

Here are the good and bad updates of the vehicle:

The damage to the wheels themselves from using the air gun to put on the lugs chewed up the paint. I need this fixed, including new lugs and studs for BOTH front wheels.

The oil line from the oil cooler to oil filter houseing is torn/cut/ripped and needs to be replace. (this may not be a problem as i may be able to get the parts from a sponsor. But i may need that if i cant)

I wish not to pay for the TOB and the Labor due to the fact there was no way it should have broke while removing the tranny.

MISSING PARTS: ok i have found the missing LIFTERS(crammed in the bottom of that huge box) so i dont need those as long as there ok.

I found the remaining rocker arms in the same location. ALL but one was broken. (promotion had told me 4 were broken)

NOW FOR THE DAMAGED MOTOR. At this time i can not say who is at fault, i basically see it as the timing belt slipped. Could have been alot of things, i have not narrowed this down , and will not be able to until the motor is out of the car. BUT at this point i do NOT blame promotion for this and never did.

As for the parts i supplied , NOTHING was faulty. Pistons and Rods have been used with no other problems in MAY Evos. And everything should have been fine.

TIMING BELT: i have no idea what ACTUALLY caused this yet. The motor will be out of the vehicle tomorrow and send both to Mitsubishi and my machine shop to be inspected to find out what the cause of this mishap was. AGAIN I AM NOT AT THIS TIME BLAMING Promotion for this incedent, yet, it very well could have been and accident and caused by a part failing.
***I was not asked to replace ANYTHING regarding timing belt or anything. If these parts should have been replaced someone should have asked or told me. I was under the impression that with less than 5k miles on the new installed timing parts they should have been fine. However since promotion for some reason or another had to remove the TIMING BELT 3 or 4 times this may have played a roll in part failure. ( guess all you want i guess this is my side of the hear say.)

I DONT CARE about the oil stains, i was able to remove them from the back seat and the trunk.
I will make up the short list of damaged parts to the vehicle(most are posted above) later tonight or tomorrow when i have time. I am not out to get promotion i was merely stating my experience with there shop. All i want is these problems fixed.

So please stop posting stupid stuff that has nothing to do with this incedent with promotion as everyone has heard everything about my life and such. I am here only to resolve these issues. I have been nice enough so far to let alot go.

Im hopeing promotion can read this and let me know what they can do as they AGAIN did not call me or im me today like i had asked.

Thanks,
Jey
