Default Another problem with HPE!!

Well i cant seem to reach them after ordering a camshaft and now i have spoke to comp themselfs and they haven't had a order from HPE since 12/10.10. Now the shop is closed and what can i do now other than warn others some more on how poor this shop is. Well i hope Gary gets back to me soon i have a cell number for him but yet no return calls. Its been 2 weeks almost and no contact.

Sad to hear your situation and I hope it all works out,but when you have 2 awesome shops (LMR & G-Force) on here that you hear nothing but good things about.Why would you go to somebody else?
