Even though this is my first post, i been on this forum a while back before it switched to this new layout.. you guys should put a forgot username on this lol... while enough about this... i was doing business with glp motors, trd4life, gabe over thru facebook, what i needed from gabe was real simple an ecu. i come to gabe (glp motors) asking if he had an ecu avalible for lexus sc300 i give him the part #, but then he starts telling me its hard to find, he waiting on a couple of phone calls he will let me know, this is on june, he lets me know 10mins later (real hard to find) saying he found one, but its going to cost 230 shipped. i told him must be crazy, just so you guys know, these cars ecu don't run up that only if your buying it complete rebuilt basically new, the rebuilt unit comes with lifetime warranty. but i priced matched him twice, first i compared it to the rebuilt price, he dropped it to 175shipped, i told him no they go for alot less and to prove it i found one on ebay for 149.99 free shipping with warranty, he gave it to me for 140 shipped. big price drop right lol... i so i pay him on saturday last week on the 30th. instant. paid.. he tells me the tracking number will be sent asap. i send him a message next day saying would the package be sent monday? he replies next day saying "I will send trakcing when it becomes available it should be in the next couple days". couple of days pass nothing, i message him "tracking number?" nothing i wait next day he replies saying it would be shipping today that the guy who has the ecu wasn't able to ship because he was busy.. and he still didn't ship

this is where i get mad... if im paying you instant i would expect the same service, i value my time alot, i don't have time to wait around and hope some guy ships a product... the one on ebay i brought and that guy shipped it next day provide tracking number and everything no hassle unlike gabe, i needed an ecu to get here.. now i send a message to gabe demanding a refund, he WON'T give it too me.. so i had to open a case thru paypal... lucky me right!.. i called paypal, they said we take this matter very seriously with these additional information you provide us we will give him sometime to respond, im like ok, just wan't my refund that it......


im just letting you guys know my exprience with glpmotors, gabe.. trd4life just refund my money, don't be a snake

Just to update you guys on this sale. I returned the sellers money because he was being so impatient and my third party guy was at an autocross and was a couple days late sending me the tracking number. Two days later, this guy complaining received his ECU. So he has his money back from me, and he a new ECU that I sent him. Tried to contact him through email and facebook, he never responded. So i think we should beware of this guy. Please call me guys if you want to here more about this guy and how he got way with this (Since I issued refund its out of paypals hands and I have no way of recovering the ECU i sent him)

So who got ripped off here, ME, GLP Motorsports.

UPDATE: This guy got back to me and says UPS lost the package even though UPS shows it was delivered. HIs response below


"i saw you provided a tracking number, i called ups, they are saying it was delivered. ups is saying it was on "front porch" i have talk to my neighboors to see if they saw a ups truck pass thru here that day, none of my neighbors saw anything.. this has escalated out of my hands, your going to have talk to ups... i have proof purchase for my ecu from ebay... trying to threaten me with police isn't going to help. i never received shipment"
