Re: AMR coilovers warning

Be careful.

Chris Demaras posted on Facebook:

AMR ENGINEERING COILOVERS DAMAGED MY CAR

Son of a *****. Just when I thought this was over. Finally got the coilovers, installed them, closed the hood and PING. The adjustment nut poked two dents in my hood.

I spoke to another Subaru SVX owner who bought AMR coilovers and he had the same experience; the adjuster nut is too tall, and contacts the hood. Should I have so proudly slammed the hood shut after the install? No.

But AMR built these and should have known of this design flaw. Thanks for the quality R&D, AMR!













He said:

I filed a BBB complaint about AMR Engineering back in March, but AMR ignored the BBB. Only when the police came to see Andy Reyes did he deal with the non-delivery issues so many customer's experienced with AMR. Now, AMR / Andy is trying to whitewash his soiled reputation by replying to the BBB. Here's what he wrote:

August 18, 2014: "...I was out of the country away on a business trip. While I was away we did some upgrades to our website, and network which did not go smoothly. We had issues with our phone service as well as email. We have since resolved those issues..."

The same story, year after year. Don't buy it! Always a problem with the phones, the internet, the mail server, BUT NEVER ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY for his own actions.

If you filed a BBB complaint and received an email from them (with AMR's reply), make sure to answer it. Tell the BBB that you waited 6 - 9 -12 months for your order, or that you missed a racing season because of AMR's broken promises; just tell the truth about your experience to warn others about this guy.
