Blake this is why your company is successful. You know how to take care of your customers. Im proud to own the parts your company makes. :bow:

Thank you for that, but lets not forget where the product came from and the very dedicated and smart guy who bent over backwards to invent develop and get the product off the drawing board and into production and on the cars we love so much,
if any of you have not been involved in the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales (note that that is all one department and one guy) it is a ton of work and that doesn't include all the other stuff that goes along with it.
please take that into consideration when asking the ? where are my parts?

Tyler has done an admirable job even if there has been issues, we all have issues to deal with.
lets not throw him under the bus!!

I`m sure Blake and the guys at Speedtech will do a great job with the ATS spindles. We`re looking forward to getting backorders filled,new orders underway and working with Speedtech a lot in the future.

As for the sour grapes, the general rule of thumb I`ve seen most businesses observe over the years is that if you pre order something and pay a deposit you are locked into the price being charged at that time. If you pre order with no deposit it simply assures you that you will be allocated the product when it becomes available. If there`s a production cost increase and summary change in the retail cost then so be it, although you should be notified. If you don`t want to pay the current price you don`t have to buy the parts. Every manufacturer would love to keep production costs low and parts flying out the door but sometimes production and expense realities make that very hard to do. Mark SC&C

Hopefully now that ATS is owned and ran by ST long term back orders will be a thing of the past and the price the day parts are ordered is the price you will be charged.......I have faith that Blake and Roger will have this running smoothly in a small amount of time.

Tyler did a great job bringing the parts to market, he just needed more help in the production side of the business....I think the sale to ST was a great move!! Best of luck Tyler on what you do in the future....you have a lot of great ideas in that blue head of yours!! :cheers:

Knowing Tyler, and getting all my LS7 conversion parts from him, plus FREE advice, it pisses me off those of you, who seem to think hes trying to pull something here. If you didnt notice the economy tanked last year, and Tyler had his ass on the line (and other employees) who all did what they could to start up a new business, design and engineer these custom products for a industry that can only sell so many. I dont know who here has started up a business from scratch, but let me tell you it is NOT easy, waaaaaaaaay more money goes out than come in, and then you have to keep reinvesting, it is NOT easy!!!! Now that we have that covered, lets take into the fact there were also some some personal issues, now we have another distraction. Tylers work ethic, devotion and honesty are his trademark, to question it when YOU have NO idea whats going on or whats going on behind the scenes is inexcusable! Than to expect some sort of break or other "gift" is just down right wrong. Try to call him, keep trying hes NOT hiding, if you dont like whats going on then take it up with Tyler, and I'm sure you will be humbled.

i ordered three things from ats with no problems

I have been queitly watching these kind of threads go on and on for months now. I joined THIS forum because it did not show signs of the drama that goes on in some others. I like it here and have made some really good friends through this and have also recieved a HUGE amount of support for my project and great advice from members here.

No one likes drama. If people just remember to keep business as business and NOT make these issues personal everyone comes out better off in the end.

Many businesses have had a hard time over the past year. Many have gone under. ATS is in good hands now and will continue to grow.


Best of luck to Tyler in the future and to Blake and the guys at Speedtech with the new venture. I think it is a great opportunity for everyone involved.
:cheers:

That was my point, use the phone, send a IM, but dont spout your mouth off and waste Band Width here in tech forums. If you woul have been paying ANY attention you would know whats going on, ut I draw the line on airing your stuff here, try to get other members to side with you, and then try to berate. 70RS this is NOT aimed at you, I'm agreeing 100% with you. I may not post allot but I have been here for a while, and this BS is getting out of hand. Drama, want drama go back to high school. Tyler :bow: is AOK!!!!! Good luck amigo!:cheers:

Ummmm.....have you been in a cave? Did you read all the posts? Did you realize that ATS has been sold and is now part of Speedtech? It's all good now, so no need to fire the big guns. But thanks for looking out for a VERY good friend of mine.

:cheers:

Yes I have, my response was in reguards to one poster, who actually had the gall to question Tylers integrety. Thats something I just didnt like at all, and it doesnt matter about ATS being sold it, I didnt like his integrety being questioned, thats all.:cheers:
