Trinet Motorsports issue
So, a while back I posted about this place saying steer clear. Well, I guess the owner googled himself and my blog had #1 result (this included a personal insult).
Because I disguise my real name I got an e-mail from him basically saying, "I don't know who you are, but I am the owner and my lawyers are gonna hear about this".
Since so much time had passed, I wasn't so venomous, so I replied in a even-toned manner about who I was and what had happened. I mean, how often is it that someone threatens you with a lawyer based on a post on your weblog? I was highly entertained.
I said I'd write something about it to help negate my 1st post, so this is it:
Basically my problem was, I ordered some rotors and some Axxis brand brake pads from them. When they shipped, the pads weren't in the box. So I called and they drop shipped the pads, but they weren't Axxis pads.
This made me angry because I didn't get what I paid for and I was already an extra week without driving because they forgot to put the pads in with the rotors. I decided to just forget about it and if the pads fit the car, that's fine.
So, as I said to them, "if I had used eBay to buy from you I would have left negative feedback, but instead I used my weblog".
So in going back and forth with them, I apologized for the insult. Was informed that PBR and Axxis were the exact same things (as Tomy has Bit Char-G in Japan, but here in the states they're Microsizers) and that had to be what had happened. Because so much time had passed I hadn't saved the box, nor did I remember if the pads I received were PBR or not (but I suuspect they were) I just accepted that.
They said had I contacted them in the 1st place this would have been explained, to which I said I was done dealing with them because the pads fit I just accepted it.
So, if you google Trinet Motorsports, hopefully this post will pop up 1st instead of the original one and you can see if this company is right for you. Their prices were very competative and the rotors and brakes I got from them are still holding up.
And watch what you say about them as they have a lawyer. ;)
