I am in Orange County. But I don;t have a facility anymore where people can go. I built a house from the ground up last year during when I was closing my dyno facility. And I incorporated everything I need to run a business into my new house. Now, since I am not distracted and don't have 3,000 a month in overhead just to sell 1 set of pistons, I have increased my:
1) Turn around time
2) Overall quality by several fold.
And, I have lowered my prices since I don't throw 3k a month toward a building I just used to build motors and dyno cars. So its better for customers.
So, because of the new situation, customers get:
a better product
a better value
better turn around time.
I also have a 3 year old little boy, and I wanted to spend alot more time with him, and going to a commercial location 70-80 hours a week is no way to raise a kid. I care about my kid, more than I care about anything else.
Currently, and some customers know this, they are happy that I did this, because quality is UP, turn around time is BETTER and the price is DOWN.
Also, I can give people more attention through e-mails and articles, that I could not do before.
Sleeves, wise. I will challenge anybodies sleeve to a direct, scientific evaluation with the ones I use and post the results on my main page, win or lose. Because I can already tell you from years of experience, research and science being applied, that the sleeves we use, from GE, are truely the best you can buy, regardless of money. Design, materials, finish quality, is all excellent. Turn around time? How about this.
IF it takes longer than say, 20 working days before its shipped back (sent out), I will knock $100 off the price.
No long waits here. I am not trying to say other sleeving companies are BAD. They are not bad. I am just saying, that in my opinion, GE is better. a 10/10. While others might be 9/10 or whatever, I am just telling customers WHY the ones I use are better.
its like the piston test I had done...somebody from another organization threw out there the notion that their product was great and that if somebody did a test it would re-affirm this. Well....I paid to have it done, and the results, in my opinion were the opposite of that claim because clearly, clearly, Wiseco just dominated the competition on almost every arguable point, design, measurements, price, specs, whatever, it is a clear winner.
I Paid alot of money for that piston test, and if a bunch of people want to throw in like 20 bucks each or something, I can have every freaking sleeve on the market scientifically analyzed for the benifit of you guys, the customers. What do you think guys? $20 each from a bunch of people (35+) and I have that test done?
Hondaswap official sleeve test. Sponsored by Import Builders. I will put the product I sell in there, 2 different kinds, with complete confidence. I just want you guys to have the best product. How am I gaining anything by selling anyone a lesser product? I don;t and I am not a cheap salesman.
Thanks fella's.
