I called that shop that Jay has occasionally worked out of and talked to the owner. One of you guys pm'd the contact info. He said he occasionally sees Jay and they are friends but that he does not derive any income from AS. I left a very long message with him explaining that there are a large number of transactions that need attention. He said that if/when he sees Jay he will pass on my message.

I don't see a downside in posting the shop's contact info but at the same time this guy probably cannot help that much:

I just put in my dispute with my CC Company for the $1,550 i spent for my 5.3l heads i never got. Im sorry jay i really did not want to do this but without any contact or updated posts, im nervous i will never see my heads. ($1,550 is alot of $$$$ that i worked hard for) An update every now and then would have been great, i even tried calling you and emailing you and never got any response. I know you put out an awesome set of heads but im forced to go elsewhere.
jamie


PS: Jay if you do come through with the heads i will for sure drop the dispute. I really do hope that you will come through!!

Well, I have had enough. Contacted my credit card company with a dispute of charges. I have waited long enough.

PSJ, thanks for everything you have done.

David C. White
Outer Banks of NC
Ordered Stage II 6 liter heads
Ordered somtime in July of 2004
Paid in full at that time with a money order made payable to Jay Bruno instead of Absolute Speed at Jay's request
I would honestly like my heads as my first choice but if that just isn't going to happen, I would like my money back so I can purchase from someone else of admittedly lesser quality. I hate it when someone turns to the Dark Side. "Lord Bruno. Rise".
BTW, are we any closer to actually finding Jay or is this list just something for others to look at the shake their head at? When I first saw these threads I got my hopes up again that he might actually surface and complete some of these deals. Let's not let this die people.

Does anyone know whats going on here? I see that PSJ has tried to help us, but what happened to the person that lived near jay and was giving us little updates here and there? I know they removed his banner but that doesnt help us at this point. Jay if your out there or somebody that knows him, PLEASE post up and let us know what the HELL is going on? I just dont understand, this totally sucks that your not around to give us answers.
thx

I think if we posted a reward leading to finding out where he's hiding we might be able to locate him. I'm serious people. I don't like people stealing from me and this is exactly what's happening here. He's stolen, what, a hundred thousand bucks from us altogether? This is serious folks, not just a simple misunderstanding. We need to get on this in a big hurry before he slips away from us. I just hope it's not already too late.

I just called my CC and disputed the charges. After 6 months, I don't want to wait for the heads anymore and just want my money back

All I know is hes getting them done(very slowly) but hes doing them all. If you dispute the charges does the credit card company refund you automatically? Jay is not goign to rip anyone off, hes not that kind of guy. Plus he is not broke or out of buisness. Jay bit off a whole lot more then he can chew trying to compete with other cyl. head companies. He is not going to pull a JPR. I promise.

Yeah, well people defended JPR when he was screwing people over too. Even if Jay has no intention to steal from anyone, he has still screwed people by making them wait 6 months or more to get them what they paid for!

What I don't understand is why he can't post up and update everyone. It only takes a few minutes.

As far as I am concerned we have been ripped off.

Wonder how he would feel if we had the heads and didn't pay him for 6 months?

I waited for over 6 months for heads and that was the only thing holding up the new setup on the car I race. Thats called getting screwed if you ask me. It took me 1 1/2 weeks to get my money credited back from my cc company, I should have done it a long time ago. No customer service or even comunication, Jay is a terrible businessman!!!
