Yeah, I got in touch with him a day or two before and met up with him the next day and all went well, I was looking forward to using him again, def no complaints here, he pulled through in my deal.

I'm very sorry to hear about his loss as I know how difficult this can be.

Eric has expressed not wanting to do this. What started out as helping a couple of buddies out turned into "eric the tuner". If you got charged money, its prolly because he really didnt want to do it. I run into that here in Ga...still learning tuning myself...i have done a few for free so i can say "go f##$ yourself" if they bitch and dont like it. Nobody doing this as a hobby wants the responsibility of friends/acquaintances motors looming over them. I told him not to get into tuning because of the responsibility it would carry. He is out of the game now and moving on but is still a helluva nice guy....just burnt out on the game and the people in the tuning world.

Yeah you are prolly right....a phone call woulda helped. Eric just lost all ls1 interest at once ...out tha game and disappeared. I think he was disgusted with his own car....tuning others and his mom passing and just said "***** it". May not be the right way to do things but I dont hold it against him....friends are hard to come by and I got more important stuff to worry about. Eric has his faults and I have mine. Not saying he is right or wrong...just saying everybody has a "***** it" moment and this might have been his.
tuning I just wanted to say that Eric has helped me out many times. He drove across town 35miles each way 2 times for me because my car wouldnt run at all. One time it was pouring down rain. I felt he didnt have to do that but he did. You guys are very harsh. It is easy to sit behind a keyboard and bash someone when you dont know the situation.

What pissed a few of us off is he did not have the common curtousy of returning phone calls explaining his situation, whatever that may be. So just chill the **** out as it looks like you were not the one left standing with your dick in your hand, as Inspector12 so elequently put it...

I've got a question for those of you that think Eric stiffed you. Did you pay him on the side, or did you go through Conley's? Had you gone through a shop, they would probably honor any agreements made. If you did things backdoor, sometimes you don't get what you pay for

He was paid for "everything" he did for me...I even gave him a little extra at times for his help. Nobody on this thread has "bashed" him in any way. It's pretty simple...the ONLY point some of us are trying to make here is that Eric, for whatever reason you want to use, did not finish some jobs he said he was going to finish. Plain and simple.

Like nineball said, if it was a backdoor deal then you have no recourse. If it was through a shop then go to the shop. Eric didnt run a business like others up the thread explained, not you DJ. Anywho my intentions were not to start a keyboard battle, if I got you riled up Dj I apoligize.
I'm a little confused, now who "exactly" was bashing Eric? I just re-read all the posts and did not find one person "bashing" him...
I don't think anyone bashed him either although the thought did cross my mind, but I didn't because I just thought I would be a better person than him. And by that I mean that I knew he wasn't running a business and so I took him on his word of what he was going to do etc... I just chalked it up as another lesson learned and another aspect of my car that I am going to get real familiar with myself (tunning). I know why DJ was a little upset as if any of you had ever had the pleasure of working with someone as easy going and understanding as Dennis is then you would wonder why anyone would leave such a nice guy hanging etc... He has all the right to vent IMO.
