Nick did the same thing it's really a very old story just took a while to get out.

Wade did try to clean up Nick's mess and from one of the posts above it sounds like he's still working on it...

How can some people sleep at night, taking huge sums as deposits and final payments then holding back delivery so long. You cannot tell me they prey on the fact that large distances seperate them from their clients.

Really there have been too many stories about this particular supplier for it not to be true.

I tend not to agree with this type off lynching on the internet but in this case were we are not even talking about warranty or them refusing to fix it . But actually taking money and not delivering the product.

I think her name is Sue that I was dealing with. She said she had found the paperwork and mailed copies to me. Then she said that she would fax to me. Unless she was lying to me there should be all the info I need. I am not kidding when I say I left about 20 polite messages before they started getting a tad rude. I left my home phone, cell phone, fax number ...etc on every message I left. I was moving to Florida and needed to sit down face to face with my engine builder and go over all the stuff that I have and what he needs to order for me, instead I now live in Florida...the engine is in Michigan sitting there until I come back up to Michigan in mid Febuary to start taking it apart and figure out what it has, what the specs are (CR, bore size...etc). I really did AND STILL DO need this information. My Email is briocn@bellsouth.net please get in contact with me.

I would not blame it on Nick or Wade as none of us really know the story of what is going on behind the scenes. I have had my problems with ARE as well and have talked to them, probably waited longer then most without ever bad mouthing or saying anything. Things took time to get here with both of them but I know ARE is trying to clean things up, they are a respected shop that has built some of the fastest cars around and did alot for motors.

Nick got things moving for me. Engine was well packed, and got some other goodies thrown in the crate (caps, T-shirts etc). Airfreight was picked up as promised by ARE.

Also thanks to all on this forum who posted in supporting me.

Thanks for posting Klaus, I know it will take time to restore trust in most and maybe none in some but we are dedicated to making all thigs right. I have been straight out with any I have talked with since back at ARE. All the guys at the shop are delivering what I have been preaching on the boards as of late, it's a team effort all the way

There's a new ARE in town and better than ever
