    ECS Tuning Customer Service

    So I call this afternoon at 3:00 and get some kid on the phone who was quite rude.
    I ask him a couple questions about the parts I'm looking at, he doesn't listen to a word I'm saying.
    I get disgusted with being disrespected as a customer and hang up.

    Is this typical of their customer experience?
    I've only ever done business with them once, years ago.

    I was calling about parts for my A4...and to think they want my Porsche business!

    Sorry to hear that, ECS has always been pretty good anytime I have called them.

    I've always had good experiences with ECS, I actually have made 4-5 different orders through them. Did you get the kids name? PM Jason@ECS, he's helped me every time I've asked.

    ECS has treated me well. I haven't called in very often (mostly order online), but they have been courteous and helpful, especially since the reason for my call has typically been an urgent order.

    Maybe they have a bad apple on the team. If so, I doubt he'll last.

    Same here. Always had good experiences with them, and I am very happy with their RA4 clutch.

    The only well known issue with ECS was their shipping policies, and I've heard they were working on it. Don't personally know though as I haven't needed to order anything from them in about two years.

    Thanks for the replies.
    Didn't get the guy's name.
    Sounds like my experience was not the norm.

    Deal with Jason (ECS rep who posted above). He'll take care of you.
