Default Issues with Callos racing. Please read

Normally, we don't allow threads that bash or call people out, but lately I've received a TON of emails, and PM's regarding this topic.

Does anyone here have contact with Callos racing? I'm told that there are quite a few people that have placed orders and sent payment for front ends, and front splitters and have not received their product.

If a company representative could contact me, it would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible. Also if you've ordered one of these front ends and HAVE NOT received it, please PM me.

Thanks
Clayton

It just really really bothers me that one can take your money send you nothing , and sleep at night.

I put the money right in his acct .
I had the craziest time in the bank trying to prove the acct number was indeed a real
Chase acct number. Wamu was bought out by Chase and the Cali banking system has not merged the acct #s so to a Chase bank in Ny the number comes up dead.

2 hours in a Bank trying to straighten this out to have the front end b4 the shootout
and nothing .

You're right, but it doesn't take all that much effort to answer a phone call

Especially when they take your money!

I agreed with the issue of getting him on the phone but maybe clear the replies and look the tread at the top so when someone sees it they can contact you direct Clayton. Hate to see a bunch of bashing true or not against a company

Just a thought

we texted him.
we have his cell phone number how much more personal can it get.

we asked ''do you have an AM front end?'' the answer was yes.
How soon can you ship it? as soon as funds are transfered, here's my acct number to make it faster.
ok .

w/e if it doesn't come in then I'll call Wil at Exospeed and get one.

The process takes months even thought it shouldnt. I will never order another 3 pece front end from anyone... Alot of companies are giving people the run around when it coes to taking their money and not even answering a phone call. Some even climb into a hole that there are no phones or internet. This industry sinks itself.

There are some So Cal OG's that have been doing this **** for years in our industry with sponsors and customers. I have been around long enough and have heard hundreds of bad stories to know who not to deal with. Its threads like this that need to be stickyd forever till the companies are gone or until the issues are resolved.

Got my JCR 3 piece front end broken. I was told I had to buy another and that it would not be fixed or replaced by JCR.

I would NEVER deal with them again.

the sad truth about this industry is their are alot of KIDS sticking their hands in it.
think they can be slick & put out a product make some happy some not then stick it to everyone for a short term gain & in the long run ruin their whole operation & name.
DAMN KIDS.
wish some of them lived in south FL, they would get their asses handed to them.

i remember when i ordered mine from him i was told the same as the rest of u, as soon as i get $$ u get bla bla bla. but i knew that wasnt the case. but i felt i had no choice to go for it cause he was the only 1 at the time. i knew i would get it jsut took 1.5 months. got the run around like always.

i hate dealing with anyone anymore cause everyone everywhere is always B.Sn about something.
people need to just tell the truth up front. tell us it will take 3-4 weeks your behind. alot of orders. good for them, just dont B.S. me

not everyone is like that but damn near everyone.
off my chest now. lol

When will people realize that not making as much profit because you are paying for better employees, is far more worth it in the end.

Good luck to you guys. Seems like so many of the body work / composites companies over promise, under deliver and over screw so many people.

lol.. well said bro! We use to get b.s from JGE, took years to get heads back, and im sure im not the only one in that boat! I think a sticky of the companys like these would be a great idea so people know who to look out for,and if they decide to go with that route still then thats on them. But Clayton lets try to get this up. We cant afford to lose anymore money, or afford for our sport to fall anymore then it has.

our sport in reality doesn't need time it needs AGE. these KIDS need to grow up. ( if thats possible these days) & when they move out of moms house ect.. & maybe have a family they will learn what responsibility is & respect. untill then this typ of crap will happen.

I am having the same problem with my chasebay harness. I ordered 6 months ago. Was told it would take 2 months. Now I'm having a hard time reaching chase. I emailed him to give me my refund if he can't fulfill my order and all he said in the email was "your harness is being made". They've been sayin that for the last 3 months. There is so much company out there that will take your money and afterward its so hard to get a hold of them.


I've talked to chase on the phone before and he sounds like a good guy. I don't know whats going on with their business. But regardless they need to get things sorted out and fulfill the orders they accepted.

I ordered one for a friend from Roland @ Mb racing. Roland said it would take a month and it indeed came in within that period. Only problem was when it arrived the box was all smashed up and the driver opened one end of the box and the bumper was cracked so I refused the package. 3 hours later I got a call from JoJo and told him what had happened and he said he would ship out another one the next week. Well it has been a month and a half I cant get ahold of him Roland cant get ahold of him. This is crazy. Roland said that last week it was suppose to be shipped on last wed. so I guess we shall see if it shows up this wed.
