    Enough is enough! DO NOT BUY FROM AUDSPEED!!! MORE INSIDE!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    After sending my turbos to Rubens at Audspeed, he installed new CHRA's and was SUPPOSED to install new K16 compressor wheels, and he may deny it, but why did he charge me for the new wheels then? Anyways, not 30 seconds after installation, they failed. No from oil starvation, or anything else, purely because they were not balanced correctly. He reused the old compressor wheels, and filed down the edges to try and cover up the marks that were on them. After BLOUCH analyzed them and said it was due to improper balancing job, Rubens still refused to refund my money. I am currently pursuing gettign my money back through the credit card company, as it is the last resort. I tried to work it out with him, but he is unwilling to rational, and runs a poor business. Please read the thread that I posted in the link, and decide for yourself!

    I sure hope so too. It would be a shame for a business to get away with an utter rip off attempt like this!

    if his company is a legit business, not just a work out of my garage type deal... you can file a complaint with the better business bureau.. theyll go after him for unfair practices, same as they do with companies that charge for repairs they never actually do.. they will especially pursue the company if claims have already been brought up against them..... not always the best way to go, but if the company truely is ripping people off they deserve to be penalized, and you of course deserve to get your money back. I've never tried this out, but i know a dealership tried to screw my dad over several times and after trying to deal with it on his own for weeks, he issued a complaint with BBB, and the dealership service manager promptly called him and apologized and resolved the issue. it was something about running boards or some shit they installed on his truck,,, not sure of the circumstances though..

    So ,lets get the story straight! I think now we are on the same page, You are posting your own thoughts all over the world with no proof and I have my own but with the diference that I have proof why and how the turbos were damaged with paperwork signed by BORG WARNER AUTHORIZED shop, thats what matters. I try to do the best business possible but can't please everyone.People when reading the forums will have their own opinions.I really tried to resolve this between me and you the nicest way possible.I was trying to AVOID all the hassle a litigation brings, but after your THREAT in your last email, I can no longer say that friendly is the way We can solve this. But now as I stated before the chargeback has been done and the outcome only depends how they will investigate it.Where and how you installed the turbos (this was not done by AUDI tech or ASE certified person, It was done on his own garage) might be the answer to why or how they broke.You send your turbo to be fixed,it's fixed by a highly qualified professional ...you get the turbo in perfect condition and bring it back to me completely broken and even knowing who was right I tried to help you because as i said before I try to do good business always.But you threaten me and ask for a full refund when not once did you show any proof of professional installation or right use of the turbos.So with this I hope all my fellow friends from this forum can make up the right opinion .
    Best Regards,
    Rubens Filho

    Yes, but a professional turbo-rebuilding shop stated that the turbos weren't properly balanced, which is your end of the deal.

    Rubens, just curious if you decided to stand behind your work yet. Chargeback is still in progress...By the way, if you or anyone else here wants proof, I could always post up a copy of the letter from Blouch explaining their analysis of the turbo failure, and how it was your fault. Just ask and I will...
    Stay away from Audspeed! Scammer! Read more here.
