Poor customer service

[Brian Billings]

How do you get good service from a paticular company, do you have to be a well known 
pattern pilot?, Do you have to be a district VP?, Do you just have to be a frequent respondent
to the list with the respect of the list community?, Do you have to live just down the street from
the company so you can get in there face every other day until they perform? I have owned a business 
for twelve years and if you spend money with me you get the good service period! I purchased a pattern engine from 
well known company and now I must say that was a big mistake. I sent the engine back to the company
for repair after only running one weekend with it before having problems, The engine was sent back
to the distributor for check out and repair one week before the first district 3 contest in Ocala
Florida, It is now the week before the Pensacola contest and I am not sure when I will get it
back and all efforts to have a line of communication with this company has failed, messages get no
replies, I am told I will get calls back and I don't, I was told "the motor will go back out this week"
but I never see it {three weeks ago}, I was told this Friday that the motor was ran and the guy that
ran it wasn't in and that they would call him on his cell and get right back to me, nada, never heard
back, I am not even sure if he knows who I am and what my problem with the motor is, seems like a standard
set of blow off lines to me. This motor {excuse me, this company} has caused me to miss the Ocala
contest, Andersonville GA, and it looks like I am out of luck for the Pensacola contest this weekend. I was
really looking forward to flying as many contest as I could this year but this company has robbed me of that
and for that they will loose any future business from me, as a sport flyer just trying my hand at pattern that is 
all I can do, maybe if I was a top FAI pilot this company would have given better service, then again maybe not.
I learned a long time ago that in business good customers don't bi*#%h, they just go away!
I am so agrivated and I thank everyone for listening.
