Fung63

this is just Andy and his tricks. he hands out legal warning letters like condoms at frosh week.

if you are serious about getting justice. do what jrcart and others have said. rally the members that got shafted and make a legal case out of it. the sooner you guys step up, the sooner ppl like andy stop scamming others

btw, your thread was up a full day and mods havent closed it. this is a forum afterall... a place to share info be it good or bad

dodger63

Your producing parts for the c63?

Rock

The thread will stay open as long as the op wishes and it stays civil.

Worth the wait

And let's hope it stays civil.
Props to the OP for being professional and mature, I am sure all of our members will follow his lead.

I have no dog in this fight. However being involved in this community for years, and the tuner market for many more, it is clear to me that mr. Cluck must be stopped. There is no doubt the parts and tunes he has out-sourced have been part of the equation of many fast cars.
However, I feel that's the easy part. Customer service and standing by your word as meaningful truth is the hard part.

The behavior he has been accused of here (many times, from respected members) is indicative of the worst of the tuner industry. Guys like this pop up all the time, lie their asses off, use one customers deposit to finish another customers project and generally make it that much harder for everyone else to make an honest living.

Someone please do something legal and binding about this. Better yet, lets have each and every member here call his mom.

And to Mr. Cluck: I am aware you have been banned here, which significantly restricts your ability to respond. I am not one to call someone out and then hide behind the Internet. So if your high school friend, yer I mean Attorney, would like to contact me you can use the following address:

MB Wolken
Willow restaurant
4301 North Fairfax drive
Arlington, VA 22203

Good luck to the OP!

If the Cluckster or his attorney would like to send me a threatening letter please Send it to Shiff Hardin LLP in Chicago they are a powerful $850 per hour firm I have on retainer. I used my company account to pay for MHP tunes several years ago and there is no trace of ever receiving the refund Andy promised. Andy needs to get his lies straight, last year he was claiming he gave me the refund and last night he was claiming he never owed me one in the first place, he even went so far as to say I owe him money lol. I would love him to come after me legally because I have al documentation saved in a file, case would be a slam dunk and I would then counter Sue him for anything I could including my legal costs and those alone would put him into bankruptcy. They way I look at it it is a win win..... so, come at me bro

AutoTech Racing

AutoTech Racing is participating in the 2013 One Lap of America in a C63. At this time we produce, stock, offer no parts for any Mercedes/AMG brand vehicle. We have indeed made one part, the simple closeout panel which has been showing considerable promise to keep the car from going into limp mode due to elevated trans temps under extreme use. If this addition proves further value after completing the 4500 miles and many tracks of the One Lap event, we will indeed consider making the part and selling it.

If we do such, I have already reached out to the Internet Brands Auto to become a supporting vendor. So I guess we shall see how all things unfold.

I will say this, we will not under any circumstances request, accept or have terms for a payment for any part or service without having said part in stock and available to ship immediately.

jrcart

Andy is famous for sending out boilerplate legal threats, he like tossing around big words like libel and slander. Bottom line if you are posting the truth it can not be libel so do not sweat him and his B level attorney.

Regarding your headers reach out to MHP and request a full refund and order a set of MBH headers, they are better and they usually have them in stock ready to ship.

A quick search, Great Reading Material - I'm sure there's much more out there. Feel free to add to the list.

Oh ya, there is lots more, you did not even get to the SRT8 board stuff and the bridges he burned with those guys before moving on to AMG customers. He for the most part gets banned from every forum he participates in and if you notice you will see a pattern, he is always baiting and arguing with his competitors, he is never wrong and he always has some crazy excuse for his actions or lack of actions. When somebody gets accused of the same things over and over and over again at some point people get the clue and see through all the smoke and mirrors.

immelman

Just think Jrcart, I'll bet little Andy thought we had forgotten about him......

BTW, nice cars you have

jrcart

Thanks, I have tried to keep it civil and will continue to do so, Andy is not worth getting banned over.

My prediction is this thread will stay civil until Andy opens up one of his alternative username accounts or has one of his flunkies do it for him and then all hell will break loose and civil conversation will be tossed out the window. That is one of his favorite tactics in trying to get a thread locked or deleted so mods please keep an eye open for any newbies or low post count users jumping into this thread. I have seen him do it hear and on other boards.

This is how Andy's play book reads. Andy usually firsts makes empty legal threats, throwing out words like Libel, Defemation and Slander and when that does not work because people are actually posting factual information rather than libelous information he then plays the fake username game. He creates a username with a great story, usually some customer that is 100% happy with MHP bcause MHP headers netted him the fastes, highest HP car on the planet. He then tries creating enough tension and anamosity with the fake username by lashing out at people posting in the threads and other tuners that the thread gets closed and goes away....Andy wins.

So guys, let's not get this thread locked or deleted, let's continue to keep it civil but feel free to share your experiences with Andy/MHP, good or bad let's hear what everyone has to say.

Someone gotta stop this insanity. I don't understand why someone didn't sue him yet & put him out of business? Does he or his grandma have the best lawyer on the planet?

I mean he didn't only scammed 1 person, but seems to be several ppl.

jrcart

Simply not worth the cost and trouble. He owes me a couple grand, it would cost me more than that to chase him for it. I was going to go after him legally a couple years ago however his net worth was basically zero, I had him looked into a couple years back(lots of debt) therefore there is no resaon for an attorney to get excited of this such a case. All we can do is bring stories like the one in this thread to light until people wake up and see what has been and is continueing to go on.

Keep bumping this thread so it is on the first page and people will see the truth.

you really stirred the pot last night,almost every one is confused over at PL.

Here is a photo of the letter I received from Andy's Attorney at the Law Firm listed below. I wonder if the partners have assessed their client and know this issue is going on.

You need to find an atty friend to send a response.

jrcart

What a crock LOL.....does he expect you to be scared of that letter? There are no laws against posting facts and real life experiences of a product or company, in fact it is quite the opposite, new laws have been introduced to protect consumers. About two years ago the FTC added some laws to protect people from legal action for posting real, truthful reviews online, basically they stemmed from huge companies coming after individual consumers when they post truthful reviews. The law not only states that if this type of suit is brought foward at the plaintif losses they are subject to HUGE fines from the FTC. Please refer Andy's attorney to the FTC for further clarification.

My friend I have had many dealings with Andy, and my only comment here is I would respond with a famous quote from WW2

"Nuts"

I hope some here get it

PS: That is what I told my ex-wifes atorney

AutoTech Racing

I feel that my involvement in this thread has come to a point where I feel our interests are better served to walk away knowing that Google is our friend when making a high end purchase.

I really do not see how this can stay a Civil thread with the emotion and loss associated with doing business in such ways, so I will ask the mods once again to lock the thread and let it fade away, just as the monies that were wasted.

MRAMG1

Jim, you should have added this is Andy's typical BS.

See post above

PS: I will give hm credit for his weight loss

MRAMG1

Good luck my friend, and Nice to meet a stand up person

jrcart

Don't back down...you just let him win He goes around muscling people like this all the time.

rory breaker

Agreed. I dont see this thread getting any worse, everyone is civil.

You (both) clearly have demonstrated the means/capabilities to counter these claims and even go on the offensive if needed. Backing down/locking the thread does nothing but make it easier for this guy and his company to screw the next person who, like you, didn't check the forums before purchasing.

JamE55

Jim,

You should have your $800hr retainer take care of these guys. I'm pretty sure they'll clean this up in no time. lol
