Default Need Info on H&A Imports in WA.

I ordered a jumper harness from H&A Imports a month ago and still have not receive the harness yet. Four phone calls/voice messages to the contact (I'll hold off the name and the phone number for now) without a single reply. Can someone pm me and direct me to H&A Imports website or bussiness address so I can contact them via writing? i belive H&A Iports is located in Spanaway, wa 98387.
Thank you for your help.

I know someone that know someone whom has ordered from them. Beside, I picked them out of their "craigslist > washington" ad. I called and talked to the guy. He sounded very nice. So, I placed the order and sent him the money. I know the best way is to shop local or go through a reputable shop. However, I do belive in giving some small guy/gal/shop a chance to earn their way through.

I just went to his shop and got my ECU done. No issues on my end. His ECU is running my car like a champ.

I don't think he is a scammer as he sounded very nice and honest. The funny thing is right after I wired the money, I never heard from him again. five voive messages and one email without a single reply. Here is the e-mail I sent him:

************************************************** *****************
Hi Brian,

This is Chris. I ordered a custom jumper harness from you a month ago and have not receive it. Let me jog your memory. I called you from (My phone) on the Friday and wired the money to you on Sat. My car was in the shop waiting for this harness because the one I ordered from someone else was made wrong (OBD0 to OBD2b and I needed OBD0 to OBD2a). I talked to you again on Sat. You said since it is a custom made, you have to charge me $85 instead of the usual $65. The order is for a jumper that is going from a '89 CRX (OBD0) to '97 USDM ITR (OBD2a) not 2b.

I called and left you four messages and did not hear back from you. I waited and waited and my car was kicked out of the shop and I have to spent the money to tolled it home. Now, please send me the jumper harness and please be sure that it is for a '89 CRX(OBD0) with a '97 USDM ITR(OBD2a) swap. Please make sure that it is for USDM OBD2a and NOT JDM and NOT OBD2b.

Please call me or reply back and let me know when I will have my jumper harness.

Thanks,
Chris
************************************************** *****************

Well, I'm very curious to why I don't even received a single reply. It is very unlikely for him to scam me just for $85 bucks. So, if you or someone locally to him please stop by his shop and talk to him for me, that would be greatly appreciated. Please print out this H-T post and show it to him. THANKS

I'm not here to bash but I havn't heard good things about him. Theres always posts on craigslist sayin how H&A scammed somone. Now I don't know if thats true. From my experiance with him I can see that.

UPDATE:
He got in touch with me yesterday. Everything is working out for the good. I'll have my harness this Friday Every bussiness has it's up and down. One of the main key in doing bussiness is customer service. Having a good customer service will build customer loyalty. It seem like H&A Imports is coming through with their.

Thanks all for your support.
"RedEG2" I really owe it to you

hey i met up with him he programmed my ecu and set the two step, vtec, redline, all that and it works great.. yeah he works out of his house but that doesnt mean he is a tweaker... it means he has no overhead and can charge less than "shops" that will do anything to squeeze a dime out of you. anyways "highjdmpower" why dont you prove your allegation.. i have a suspicion that you are affiliated with a shop around the tacoma area and are just trying to bash on him.

They are in a residential neighborhood and are nice enough to rev thier engines to redline at all times of the day, fly up and down the street at high speeds, have 30 cars in the driveway and on the street. Yeah, great people.

let's not turn this into a bash fast. if anyone has a problem, the OP is here, so take it up in a professional manner. no childish remarks, no idiocy - just get to the point.

thanks.

me and my friend have been to brians place, seems like a nice enough guy. good price for good work. only cons i have to say are that his place is kinda small and he seems to have alot of customers for just 1 guy.
other than that if you can get in his schedule i would recomend him.
