ECS Tuning has acquired Turner Motorsport

[rwh11385]

That said I was not pleased with ECS shipping rates or customer service. Maybe that has changed.

Turner was better at customer service. BMP's customer service sux!

ECS' s shipping has only gotten worse when it comes to delays and has rubbed off on Turner sadly. "Oh you wanted an oil filter this week? Sorry we sold out just yesterday but didn't update the site"

I've been a Turner fan since about the turn of the century but sad to see their responsiveness take a hit. Will is still a nice and awesome guy though

Bottom line for me is Blunt gives a shit!

Bottom line for me is Blunt gives a shit! These other players, not so much!

ECS definitely gives a shit. They are very active over on the Audi forums, and will make things right if needed.

I love that I can email blunt in the middle of the night and get a response almost immediately. Add super fast shipping to that and I see not reason to look anywhere else, unless blunt doesn't have it

Right! Totally agree! I was feeling guilty when that first happened to me. I'm thinking, man I totally f-ed this guy's date night. Monday am I get an email confirmed part is on the way. WTF!

I have 3 BMWs. (I realize I need a pysch eval but it is what it is.) I call Blunt (Steve) he answers. I explain it's this thing that attaches to this part but needs to be a right handed thing. He emails me a oem parts diagram, circles what he thinks I am trying to explain and boom, my part is on the way.

Just saying guys, the bigs have nothing over this company/Steve. Including price.

Their prices look good at first glance, but somehow they manage to fuck it all up when it comes time to add in shipping.

All this said, pound for pound, Blunttech is by far the industry leader in my opinion. High quality customer service (5 Stars) and product that works every time because he takes the time to do it right!

^ bang on.

On no planet has ECS never been the cheapest. Once in a blue moon they will have a blow out price on some random item. Not only are their prices usually higher, their shipping costs are inflated. They do have a nice website and are heavy in the community which is probably the reason for the higher cost.

I use this tool to find the cheapest parts. I have not found a specific dealer that is always the lowest time after time. But there are about 2-3 that are very close to the bottom consistently.

I agree, although lately their prices have been better but still with the shipping its been coming out way more. FCP has been doing a decent job lately.

It pisses me off when I see something for $10 and it costs me like $10 to ship it.

Wow. I have never found that to be the case.

I also am sure Blunt or GPS would match their competition.

I am always looking for the best deal. I shop around.

Over which other vendors?

Bavauto. Turner. Tischer and BMW of atlanta

I have a stack of receipts that beg to differ. Even with their inflated shipping I still save a few dollars.

Maybe now they'll have a sale on their euro bumper set to celebrate.... I can be hopeful.

for oem parts, the cheapest place is still husker bmw/bmwmercedes parts.com

for aftermarket, both the above are great. i have not used blunt yet, but the next time i buy an e30, i'm going to seriously look into it.
