Default Bauer T.B question?

Im not trying to "BASH" a sponsor here, but I sent my T.B out to him 3 weeks ago, and still haven't had any response yet. What is the normal turn around time for something like this? I've herd nothing but awesome responses for his work, and great service, but im starting to feel left out . Like I said, im not trying to hurt/affect his buisness in anyway, just questioning when I might see my T.B.? Thanks everyone.

Well I called 411 to get in touch with new york states local 411, and got his number. (since his web-site states no number of contact) called all day long, and of course could never get in touch with him. Am I ever going to see my T.B. again? Does anyone have a contact number for this guy?

Have you emailed him ?

Bret & I have been emailing each other off an on the past 2 weeks concerning my timing cover. Email responses have been quick and he took time to help me get the right powder for my application. Got my timing cover on Wednesday and it looks great and matches the car 100%.

FWIW

My experience with Bauer amounts to this...I called Bauer 3-4 times over the course two weeks and no one answered the phone. I left a message and no one returned my call.

All the sponsors like: Thunder, MTI, TEA, SDPC, LS1 MotorSports, FastToys, Lingenfelter, Afterthoughts, Ramchargers, TByrne, LG Motorsports, Speed Inc, Nitro Dave, LM Performance, and SLP all answer the phone and/or return calls.

Enuff said.

oh and when you compare someone to thunder, that is crazy, thunder is just freakin awsome. Recently bought all my valve springs and so on from there and got a few suspension goodies. Hopefully i will be running up there to get it tunned.

Uh...not just Thunder...compared them to all the others I've called then bought stuff from...but I agree Thunder does set the standard high.

Good Luck with getting the new parts set up and tuned!

I agree. It's my experience that unreliable customer communications means unreliable quality. After reading this I will not do business with the above mentioned sponser. My advice is to get your throttle body back and call Thunder.

I got my Bauer TB back in less than 3 weeks. It looked good other than the large air leak around the blade.

When the machine picks up and says Bauer, I think it's safe to say it was the right number.

for me, his response time was bad at certain times, especialy weekends, when i emailed him early on like monday, i always go prompt responses, sometimes instantly. I had a problem with the blade that he resolved, ends up my friend sent it with a vette blade (no hole) he took care of it.
