Default Warning! Hypertech company and bad service !!!!!!please help!!!!

Hello,

I am very very angry about the Hypertech Company...My Hypertech 3 don´t works, after there I send my Hypertech 3 Programmer to the Hypertech Company, www.hypertech.com, Mr. Jim Harsson, Sr., jharsson@hypertech.com, send me this E-Mail:

Frank

We have received the Power Programmer here at Hypertech. All the paper work is in good order except we need to acquire payment for return shipping. We accept M/C, Visa and Discover. Will need the 16 digit credit card number, expiration date and the 3 digit security code off the back of the card. Thanks


Jim


Date ist from 19.06.2009

After there I send many e-mails and faxes with my credit number, but I receive no answer more. Now we have end October and nothing!!!!

Is that the service from HYPERTECH ?! Have the users here any idea what I can do?

Beware, I never order again by Hypertech!

Best regards
Fraenkyboy1

Frank I'm sorry to hear about this, but I'm sure I can get it taken care of for you. Can you send me a PM with your Name, Phone Number, & Programmer Serial Number if you have it?

I sent Fraenkyboy1 a PM, but I haven't heard anything from him. If any of you guys know him ask him to PM me his information or to call Hypertech and as to speak Jim Harsson Sr.

After the Policeman calls Hypertech works the service department from Hypertech step by step. Hypertech says to the Policeman , that my e-mails goes in the folder...That is the ground why the service department from Hypertech can not work The question is why the warranty was lying 4 month to keep informed without the customers? Now I must pay 90$ for shipment cost That is the first time that I pay 90$ for a small package to Germany

Now I pay:

326$ for Hypertech 3
+ 10% Tax
+ 19% duty
+ 39$ ship cost
+ 20$ document cost
+ 19$ ship cost back to Hypertech
+ 90$ ship cost back to me
+ 0$ waiting for 4 month
------------------------------
594,73$

Congratulation Hypertech

This Horse Power is



My comments:

Hypertech Products = very good ;-)
Hypertech Service = very bad ;-(



Best regards

Fraenky

Why don't you just get EFI Live or HP Tuners and tune it your self.. If you cant tune (like me) find a friend that knows how and can help you get the tune that you want.

If you don't want to purchase professional tuning software, you can find someone in Germany who can tune the engine. You will get MUCH BETTER results with a real professional tune.

Unless you have an automatic transmission, those hand held tuners don't do all that much for you.

I applaud you for writing us in English and asking for assistance. I dont know any German ( it always been a language that intrigues me) but i wish I could speak it.

Im very happy that your problem is being resolved!

Bill
