Weistec problems?

Anyone get this email today? Could this have something to do with people having a hard time getting a hold of them over the past week? I've got parts that have been delayed in being shipped back from them unfortunately...

Got the letter as well. Not sure or didn't here of what happened. Whatever the case is they should bounce back from it.

Totally agreed, not worried about their business. Just curious what the deal is.

Steve isn't with them anymore. He was my main contact there and has helped me tons throughout my build.

Not sure what happened, nor do I care, none of my business.

I sent my transmission in for warranty 4 months ago, hoping to get it back soon, I had a hard time reaching anyone for a week or so. Finally talked to Zach the other day and they are waiting on some clutch packs, itching to get the car back together and on the road with the V2 trans.

Yes I got that too, at least they are being up front on a possible issue, I was a bit concerned because I still have to order my V2 trans kit.

If that's true is very sad. He's been with me since day one on my build. And always help me with any issues.

I haven't had any personal contact with them, but I just made mt first purchase online two weeks ago...order was showing "Processing" the entire time. Sent an e-mail to the sales ID and got my tracking info within 24 hours and the product arrived the same day, so it had been entered - just couldn't tell from the order status.

I received the letter as well, and frankly, as a prospective customer who was literally weeks away from pulling the trigger on their downpipes and tune, it immediately turned me off of giving them my business.

It felt defensive, unsolicited, unprofessional, and reeked of desperation. A company at the top of their game does not need to publish something like this, especially if it only affected "a very small number of customers." I don't know what the story is... but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Too bad.

Yikes. "Take it easy?" Look, I'm not trying to start **** here... merely responding in a thread asking whether others have received this email.

I think it's terrific that they're delivering on the service they're promising and you're paying them for.

I guess this is not a place for open discussion. Sorry, my mistake. I am a "Newbie" after all.

I'll try it again, and just answer the question asked by OP: "Yes, I did get the email." Hope this pleases everyone.

What a pile of poo. A letter to let people know about an issue and you don't go ahead with your purchase, sounds like you have an axe to grind.

I never received a letter.

they were simply trying to clear up some misconception about their business, rather than have false claims float around. Calm your ****.

You obviously have no business sense whatsoever. What is wrong with a PR message notifying existing and future customers that there has been a change at the top??? Big companies do this all the time. Wouldn't you rather put out a PR statement informing people rather than let the rumor mill churn and let speculation be the source of your clients information? If that letter left a bad taste in your mouth you're soft bro, they don't need your money anyhow, now go buy some overpriced garbage from Renntech you softie!

I am with JR, Releases like this are common place in the business word and alike. I would much rather a company do a statement than keep their customers in the dark. To me, its a sign of respect to their customers and I appreciate it.
