I have heard many people who have had positive experiences with AED...I was wondering if there were any members who were not impressed or satisfied with the service they received for AED...

If you come away from AED unhappy either your standards are unbelievebly high and you need to go drive top fuel or funny car, or you're a broke ass bastard and need to stop trying to live a champagne diet on a beer budget.

You both must have been great customers who spent money with them...Do you think they would be cool guys if you did not spend money with them?...Do you think they would be rude and disrespectful if you weren't a customer...My point is, I have been shopping around for a tuner for the past couple of months after I was unsatisfied with my previous tuning experience...After trading numerous emails with AED about my tuning and engine problems I followed the detail instructions given to me to prepare my car to be retuned...I emailed the tuner to ask about injectors and he rudely replied to have me ask any more questions I had to my previous tuner...He had never before been rude or disrespectful so I inquired an found out that since I was not a customer and never bought products from AED that he did not have to earn or give me respect and that all help, respect, and knowledge is for potential and paying customers...With all the praise AED receives on CAfords I was not expecting this...I recently was praising them to some of my peers because I felt they went above and beyond for someone who was a potential customer and that I was planning on getting my card tuned by them...After this I will never be an AED customer...I should have listened to Albert and stayed away...It says alot about a business or person on how they treat people who don't spend money with them, because that is honest no money involved...

They were cool until i told them i had got tuned by someone else recently...I have no problem until he told me he didn't have to respect me because i never bought products from him...At the end of the day respect me...customer or not!

Well In their defense I could understand giving out tons of help and advice to someone I'd hope to have become a customer of mine, only to have them take the advice I have to another tuner (that's what it sounds like, correct me if I'm wrong). I have swapped numerous emails with Shaun and I'm a fricken pest and indecisive. I've talked with him over many combo options over a 2 year period with my money being the only reason I haven't taken my car there. Even knowing my financial woes he's always been helpful and polite. Never rude even to a pest like me. -Joe

I've spoken to both Shaun and Drew at AED for extended amounts of time - over the phone, PMs, and emails. I've never been treated rudely, and I've never even spent a single dime with them. I plan on bringing my car there when my broke ass can afford it.
Seeing as how you feel like you were treated rudely through email, is there a chance that one of you took it the wrong way? Reading text instead of hearing words can come off differently. I find it hard to believe too since they've both received such good feedback from people on and off this forum. Either way, good luck, and I hope the issue gets worked out.

I did not contact him until after i had my car tuned somewhere else...I had previously briefly inquired about a tune but never got any help or advice...And up until recently he was very helpful and polite...I have no problem with AED not helping me, but dont be rude and disrespectful...I wasn't never disrespectful or rude when asking my questions and always thanked him for his time...I just know I am not the only one who feels that only treating paying or potential customers with respect is not appropriate...I might be the only person on this website not pro AED...

My original question
"Can I start my car using 60lb injectors and calibrated Mass air? Or do I need it tuned to take out fuel at start up? I have it tuned to 42lb injectors and calibrated mass air right now…."
His Responses
"Why don't you ask your tuner."
"Let me know when you are ready to be a paying AED customer. My time and knowledge is valuable"
"Definition of a customer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer
You were a Potential Customer for a tune. Therefore I gave you all the information you asked for. It was my understanding you were getting the car ready to bring it to me to tune. Once you went with another tuner, you were no longer a Potential Customer for a Tune.....nor were you an actual AED Customer since we've never done work for you, nor sold you any products.
Had you been an AED Customer, I would have done my best to earn your Respect, and perhaps you would have earned mine.
Respect is earned, not given."
You be the judge...

Sounds to me like a total misunderstanding...Shaun and Drew are more than helpful to non-customers. I asked tons of questions before I became a customer and Shaun answered every one in full detail. I e-mailed and spoke to him on the phone, and as busy as he was, always took the time to explain things to me...Why don't you post this so-called rude e-mail?

Like I said it seems to be a misunderstanding, It looks like he thought you asked all these questions and went to another tuner instead of coming to him. I bet if you call him and stop trying to cause shit on this forum everything would be straightened out. Give whoever you e-mailed a call, they are both stand up guys.
