Reinhart Automotive

[latebraker]

I would like to take this opportunity to tell most of you what you already know. Reinhart Automotive is one of the best automotive tuners in the business. Dennis started working on my Dads car some months ago, known to most of yall as “another first for Reinhart Automotive”, or the “Gear Vendor project”. The work and service performed by Dennis and, his staff has been nothing short of family. Dennis quoted a price and even though there was a significant amount R and D and redoes because of the project itself, money was never readdressed. After delivery of the car there was a minor oil leak, probably not related to any fault of the install as the car drove flawlessly from Jax FL to Atl GA and then home to my Folks house. My Dad called Dennis about the leak, and without a thought Dennis offered to drive up, about 6 hours is my guess, and get the car and fix the leak Again like one would only expect from family and hell maybe not even family would go that far.

I have directed a few of yall on this site to Dennis and some others may know me from a vid that was posted a year or so ago “Crown Vic vs Cobra” at Road Atlanta. That was me and my vic, Big Black, so to those on this site who need a reminder. If your dealing with Reinhart your dealing with, as good as it gets! Again as I stated at the start something you should already know. If you don’t and you are looking around for someone to do some work on your car well if this does not help you in your decision then WAKE UP! I said as good as it gets.

For those who know the vid I will be looking forward to posting some vid in this newest beast Dennis has created soon.

Cheers

I was always impressed by the amount of time Dennis would give me when I had questions. That, and the fact that he didn't mind working with me to tune the car over the internet are the reasons I've done the vast majority of my business with him. I agree that he treats you right. It doesn't hurt that we treat him the same way in return, I'm sure.

[bigmerc'03]

Ditto......

[Dennis Reinhart]

I wish I could have a 100% saitisfaction but no one I know of does, but
I still try.

[frdwrnch]

We have had an excellent working relationship over the years and will continue to recommend my customers and fellow gear heads in both high performance car and truck applications to him.

[Windsor58]

The only problem I have had with Dennis is his shop is too far from Colorado!
I will make the trip again for the next major work on my MM.
That may be a while, though, since it is running so good
Thanks, Dennis.

[Dennis Reinhart]

You are all welcome, I will be open till Wednesday this week, Thanksgiving is my birthday this year, I am taking off on going down to South Florida to take a break and spend with the friends I have known for years and have supported me and helped me for years, I hope EVERY one here has a good holiday.

[Master]

Enjoy, and here's an early "Happy Birthday"!

[Dennis Reinhart]

The car did have a bad seal after that was changed the leak was fixed the car runs good, I am going to be down that way in the next few weeks so I am going to stop by for any fine tuning issues if there is any.

.....were more like the issues between Cap't Kirk and Chief engineer Scotty.

"Dennis, I need more power"......

"Ed, I can't change the laws of physics, the Dilithium crystals will shatter."

and wallah, Via Dennis, I no longer consider the MM to be a street car, but more along the lines of a race car,
as in the MM HATES 30 mph and under.

In the end, anything worth wild, is worth waiting for. :beatnik:
You get what you give.

Reinhart Automotive - May it live long and prosper!
and thank goodness it's in Florida :D

Look Guys, I am a 3 day drive from Dennis' shop. I have great support over the phone & computer. My Marauder is sleeping for 6 months, but I'm sure when I need technical assistance or any advice I can count on Dennis to help me out. Merry Christmas to all & God Bless you Dennis for always being there for me even though Timmins Ontario Canada is so far away.

[Tom Doan]

Oh no not Timmins again. Did you get the out house winterized yet or is everyone going polar bear this year because global warming is giving you a warm winter?

Merry Christmas to all & God Bless you Dennis for always being there for me even though Timmins Ontario Canada is so far away.

Similar situation here, I'm on the other side of the country but Dennis has been very helpful to me with my air-air Vortech kit. I'm a happy customer.

[Vortech347]

Dennis has answered any question I've had and has helped me out numerous times with tunes on my Marauder. Almost everytime I get the tune that day or the day after. Owning and running your own business is hard. Especially when its linked to a public forum like this. No matter what you do you're walking on eggshells and your ass is in a sling.

Dennis works his ass off every day and night, my hat is off to the man and if I lived closer I'd be on his dyno damn near weekly.

You'll NEVER make everyone happy, because...every now and then there are people that do not have the ability to be happy because they were just born an *******. I'm a Realtor and I work hard. But like clockwork I get an ******* once a year.

[Dennis Reinhart]

So who can het the LVPD to donate a car at Sema, I did and it was a hoot there

Dennis, just wanted to send you an email to say how much I appreciated your help in the SEMA show "cop car" situation....due to your efforts....that car was the most talked about and photographed vehicle in the place....it became a landmark....I think that every oriental stopped at least once to have their photograph taken in various ways...it was a hoot!

But it really drove home our Hypertech message of our power and economy tuning....

Again thanks!

This thread is closed. You folks need to remember that problems with vendors and their customers are between them and them only. Please keep your opinions and advice to yourselves.

I am sure this thread will be locked and probably deleted. But I find it disturbing that someone would lock, censor or delete a thread because someone pays money to place ads here. Once you place ads here, you subject yourself and your business to the scrutiny of the people your products serve.

I dont know Dennis, and I see him get ripped apart elsewhere (and here) for problems that have arisen. Having been in the car field for more than half of my life and having been around them since I was knee high to a grasshopper I have known that you cant please everyone all of the time.

I've also been around heavy egos in this business and in the drag racing community and can take those things with a grain of salt as well. For example, I have yet to find a tuner, builder or seller that everyone can agree upon. This guy is this, this guy is that, this guy sucks, go to this guy, no dont go there... etc..

From the outside, I see nothing wrong with the way Dennis is doing business, he is forthright and very open when there is criticism. In fact I still see some posts which try to clarify his position.

But the editing and deletions to threads are being perpetrated by the management of the board. This is unhealthy and I can see why people jump ship to other boards.

I shouldnt have to hurdle from one thread to another to comment.

In fact, the moderators should allow the free flow of information here. Dennis is a big boy and I am sure he can fight his own battles, its part of doing business and demonstrating how as a businessman, things can work out.

Just so you know Dennis, you offer some really nice stuff for these cars and I appreciate you offering your wares here, but being in NJ, I certainly know that if I added a S/C, it would have to be sorted out here where I live.

I also know that one cannot expect too much from a motor that was never designed to be blown, the trans was never designed to have 500 hp plus two tons of Iron to move around (plus these vehicle have their own issues in stock form).

The selling of speed is a very competitive field, everyone will "diss" the other guy. Dont think that such talk will put you out of business. I like what Jerry offers, I like what you offer, I like what greg offers and I am glad I have a choice.

The talk means nothing to me, I will do business with who I feel can give me what I want, and I dont need a moderator or owner changing my diaper or wiping my nose for me.. Please leave the posts alone if you can restrain yourself. Nobody here needs a baby sitter..

Can anyone explain to me what the point of this forum is when the exchange of ideas and experiences is not allowed? Just wondering. Is there not a duty to your fellow Marauderer to share both negative and positive experiences where ever they may be? This just doesn't seem to pass the smell test anymore. :(Dennis

The smell test? The exchange of ideas and experiences is and always will be allowed here, what is not allowed is the "gang" mentality of gang-raping ANYONE. We have never allowed that and never will. If someone has a beef, complaint, or wishes to give kudos to someone, have at it,,BUT if you are just jumping in to stir the pot(as some are noted for) action will be taken.

I am glad the this thread was not deleted. http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...ad.php?t=49510 (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...ad.php?t=49510)

I have done all I can. I have posted up, I have tried to talk to Steve Jenkins, to him I am a liar and thief, I have publicly apologized to Zack even though I am not the one that did him wrong, but this will not end, Mary told me tonight that people should not send letters to her or the rest of you such as what you have seen from Marauder TJA and Glenn that they should post up there own letters, this will not work but I am going to ask for help, all this will do is for every positive response killjoy Zack Defiant impala slayer and any one else Zack can get will post up redundant negative posts trying to counter the positives that far out weigh the negatives, but negatives get much more attention. So this site will degenerate just like the TCCOA unless some thing is done I have no plans on going any where, but my self and my wife are truly disappointed in what is transpiring here.

Respectfully
Dennis and Sheila Reinhart

[MERCMAN]

And you have a dog in that fight,,how?

[imorb1994]

you say its not tolerated but he's allowed to do it, thats really messed up

[MERCMAN]

That was a vendor lashing out at 2 members who attacked him, right or wrong, it wasn't a group. all of this is going to be addressed. That was an e-mail and should not have been posted. The reason for posting it was nothing more than the "gang" mentality once again

[bugsys03]

WOW-- some things never change.

[imorb1994]

Whatever way you look at it he tried to get a group of people to beat on Zack and Killjoy reputation's and credibility. That was his intentions. Didn't work out so well.
On the other side of this Zack and killjoy were defending themselves.
Yeah I do admit things did get out of hand. but that seems to be the way of life on here.

[Richy04]

Why were Zack and Killjoy banned for a month? I dont think thats fair. Once again, read my post on why..

[Richy04]

If someone wants to take their issues public, especially a special group like Marauders, they should be allowed to. This includes sellers and buyers. This is what educates members best. Deleting posts and banning members is fascism (hate to sound like a hippy) :-)

[NATEHAWK]

Too much sensorship..But to be honest, like on ebay you can leave negative comments no sensorship you can let everyone know how you feel about a vendor prior to spending your hard earned money with that vendor. This is what should have always been done and there would not be this problem today. But when people post up and you delete the thread or lock it thats just makes people feel like you are hiding something or trying to blindfold them. I have purchased things myself from DR and never had a issue. But thats just me. But you gotta beable to take the negative comment just as muh as you would love to see the positive comment. Negative comments over the years should help you DR to make your business better and you on you end. But its just your record makes people a lil leary about you we can even go back to the SW group buy taeman setup. That was just wrong for DR to step in and try to take there sell to become a vendor for SW. See thats the shady stuff everyone is talking about....Im done my rant now.....

Ok, I can read the threat as well as the next guy. You have issues with me, that is ok. It is your ball and you get to make up the rules of the game. This has nothing at all to do with Reinhart per se and everything to do with the conduct of this board. It is ok with me that you have a different view of what this forum could be were it indeed open. It is entirely possible that I was wrong the last time you gave me a vacation. I just happen to think in a forum where mods to our Marauders is a major topic of discussion the experience of the members with vendors is paramount. I fail to understand where the connection is between "always open for discussion" and "You folks need to remember that problems with vendors and their customers are between them and them only." I grew up on a farm. When we planted potatoes we did not expect roses to pop out of the ground. Perhaps some clarification might help. Dennis

[MERCMAN]

How much clearer can I be? If a member has a problem or an issue with a vendor, it is between those two, those sticking their respective parts in the argument add nothing except to breed more comments from those who have no vested interest. It is a gang-bang and all it serves is to inflame tempers on both sides of the issue

Hmmmm,

It seems that Kudos are cast in stone...

Complaints are hidden behind locked threads.. http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/images/statusicon/thread_hot_lock.gif (look familiar??)

Take a look at the main page for this seller, negative threads have more locks than a prison..

Mercman, you have to separate fantasy from reality before you post..

This what I call heavy handed moderation.

threads and members..

"The exchange of ideas and experiences is and always will be allowed here"

"How much clearer can I be? If a member has a problem or an issue with a vendor, it is between those two"

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear enough with my question...how do we have an an exchange of ideas and experiences when an issue with a vendor is closed to anyone but the offender and the offended? Am I missing something here?

[DOOM]

Nope, ideas and experiences are one thing and continually making sure that a wound is kept fresh is another and more clearer than that I can't be.

[hot-rauder]

I just dont understand why if a complaint betweeen a vendor and his client is supposed to be only between them, why it does not truely apply.

A customer of Dennis' complains about his service, and the thread is deleted, closed, or edited.

However, when Dennis personally calls out members of the forum, who may or may not be customers of his, THE CUSTOMER GETS BANNED?

How does this work? It is nothing short of favoritism and seniority. I for one, who has never done business with Dennis, will choose not to, due to the way HE has poorly gone about dealing with negative feedback.

[Richy04]

Nope disagree again,

Members have every right to know both sides of the story and both should be posted here for a reasonable and prudent person to figure out on their own. Especially if I am dropping 5-6k on a S/C, you bet I want to know who is going to take care of me.

Once again, I think Dennis has a great line up of products, but he must take care of himself if he chooses to have a forum here. In fact, happy or bitter buyers must meet my credibility standards as well as not to be marginalized..

[Richy04]

Dont worry Dennis (Hot Rauder), when the heat becomes too much or your questions become too hard to answer, you will also be banished.. I've never seen such childish nonsense from grown men or women given the "gift" of moderation. These are just words, nobody is throwing chairs or stabbing each other..

[Budman]

My opinion means nothing,but Dennis grow a thicker skin or get out of the business or this site.People love you or hate you,you believe the negativety from a thread may hurt your business.Lifes a *****,customer retention is everything.If you can't make everyone happy,try harder,of course you cant but your business is your top priority,at least it should be.The more you delete or bash threads the more hurt it does to your business.Calling out a few guys seems worthless since i'm sure you've worked on many cars that the owners don't come on here or are banned cuz of blocked open expression from this site.Ban me i could give a rats ass,whoever is reading this,this site could be great for years but the board members and such with the chosen amulate just pisses people off.I will talk with some of you in 30 days.**** i dont even own a MM and see this crap as BS.Zack,Killjoy etc,freedom of speech won't work here,the internet seems or this site seems to be above all.RANT OVER

If you have an issue with a vendor, contact that vendor.

It is not professional to post up, share with other members, and start a vendor war.

Threads will be closed and profanity removed as deemed necessary.

I did not and will not call you childish. I do not believe that it is easy for you guys right now, or anytime really.

I believe this situation with Reinhart Automotive has been dealt with in the wrong fashion and needs to be responsibly resolved. But, we ( the onlooking members) are tired of seeing our friends being wrongfully banned and having opinions and facts changed and deleted, and not seeing any form of punishment dealt to the other party.
