JVG Motorsports

 

This is the place where you don't want to do business with.  The place is worst then a bank robber.  They sell products on Ebay by the name of jgdynasty so I bid on something I need.  Here is a complete copy un-altered ebay ads from JVG Motorsports  It clearly stated his product was a T04S and here is an example of a Garrett T04S with .63 A/R from cheapturbos.com and here is an example of Garrett TO4E with .63 A/R from the same company. 

Here is an example of the Garrett T04S:


Here is an example of the Garrett T04E:

You can clearly see the compressor is a lot bigger on the T04S.  The T04S has a 4" compressor inlet diameter vs. the T04E is only 2.5".

His ads in text and graphic clearly stated as T04S.  Matter of fact I think JVG Motorsports copy Cheapturbos.com online store word by word and picture by picture.  To make the story short.  I bid on this supposedly T04S turbo.  I won this auction on Oct 15, 2006.  I paid immediately as always via ebay auctions.  I received the turbo within a week or so.  Initially I was very excited about this turbo and wasn't aware of the model because I have no experience of knowing the difference between the Garrett T04E vs. T04S.  Only experts in turbo would know the two different models.  As for me, I have to extensive research and AIM many people to find out more about this.  Toysmre is one of my biggest helpers.  He and I finally determined this turbo was not T04S.  Its was T04E via the model number on the compressor.  By the time we found out it was the wrong turbo, it was like 14 days after the delivery.  I immediately filed a case with Paypal and the conversation went on for couple of weeks.  JVG Motorsports denied my claim stating that I exceed the 7 days grace period on return.  My argument was if they didn't make the mistake initially therefore this problem would not occur.  Therefore JVG Motorsport is blaming me for not reporting the problem within 7 days.

I told paypal why should I pay for his mistake.  After few days of emailing each other via paypal resolution center, JVG Motorsports asked me to send back the turbo.  So I immediately packed up the turbo and send it back.  After two weeks later I email them.  They accused me of modifying and damaged the turbo.  That is just purely a lie.  All I did was rotate the compressor.  It was not modifying or damaging.  I called countless times, email multiple times no response at all.  They never answer the phone calls and no response to my emails.  Right now, they have my money and my turbo.  I am not giving up on this issue until they send me either the T04E or T04S or the money.  I will continue to call and email until I get something back.

So, please be aware of this robber.  They will take your money and hide.  Do not buy anything from them.  Stay away from http://www.jvgmotorsports.com

There are couple of theories why this thing happened:
1. JVG Motorsports doesn't know the difference between the two turbos.  LOL and its a motorsports company?
2. JVG Motorsports mistakenly sent the wrong turbo
3. JVG Motorsports mistakenly had wrong texts and graphics
4. JVG Motorsports using bait and switch tactics
5. JVG Motorsports just plainly scamming inexperience turbo buyers

Another funny thing is that I immediately give them positive feedback.  However, JVG gave me a negative feedback after they received the turbo.  i got robbed three times.  First was the money, then the turbo and last the negative feedback.

As from November 15, 2006 (the turbo was purchased on Oct 15, 2006) I haven't heard a word from them and right now approaching the second week of January 2007.

Update:
01-04-2007:
I called a person named John.  I found his number via SEMA supplier list.  He is associated with JVG Motorsports.  I left a message on his voice mail and waiting for his call.  I also called the main JVG Motorsports line and its a cell phone and they just turned off the voice mail function.

I also created a fax and faxed to JVG:

Hello,

I am writing this letter to inquire about the product I purchased via Ebay.  The item number is 320036423284 and my account is lextremely.  We sent the turbo back 7 weeks ago and I called multiple times along with countless emails, but no respond at all.  I am faxing you this letter to keep in touch with you and trying to find out the status of my product.  The money was paid and now you still have the turbo.  I need something to come back to me.  Either refund the total amount or return the turbo.

 

Please let me know asap and you can contact me at ********** or email me l[email protected]

 

Sincerely,

 

David C.
