Question TMengineering?

We all know TMengineering sells bushings for our cars. I want to order so bushings from them but I am nervous because I have been reading fairly recent post stating that they are not shipping parts out? Todd doesnt return phone calls/(or answer them ) Does anyone know if there is any truth to this ? Any one order in the last couple weeks? Let me know your experiences or

Thamks Later

I ordered a set of control arm / steering rack bushing last thursday, and I was promised that i should receive it by monday (yesterday). It's tuesday now...and it better be at my doorstep today. I'm very nervous about this whole transaction as I have read some disturbing stuff about TME.

THANK YOU! Im glad someone finally made a thread about this. First off let me tell you, Im pretty pissed. I placed an order for some Tein SS for my little brother's SC. The order was placed about a month ago. I called and called and two weeks later he finally calls to say that the order had never gone through. I checked my bank account and the money was still there. We try the order again last week. He told me to expect the Teins at my doorstep no later than Monday which was yesterday. Today is now Tuesday. I better get something, either my money back or the product I payed for.

TM Engineering has horrible customer service. I left about 5 or 6 voicemails for him. I probably made like 10-15 calls this month. They had only picked up 2 of those 10-15 calls. I would definetly not recommend them for anything nor would I do business with Todd ever again.

I used to order from TME - I bought alot of stuff from them in the past. Todd was very prompt and every thing arrived on time - Service had been excellent.. In the last year or so -everytime I emailed him, it took ages for a reply. I called his shop and no answer - just an answering machine. Just last month, I emailed him about some Tein Coilovers - and Still no reply yet.. I don't know what has happened to him - maybe he's really busy or theres some kind of personal matters he's giving attention to.. I would ask everyone to be patient - he's really a good guy - and to my knowledge he has no intention of ripping anyone off.. There may be things happening out of his control and we should all give him the benefit of the doubt.

In the meantime, those seeking bushings should give a call or check with Sewell Lexus. They are also a vendor here and they are quick with orders. Not to mention, you can use the coupon code CL911M that will give you an additional 10% discount!

Sewell is an authorized dealer for Daizen. I've bought Daizen steering rack bushings from them before.

FYI, someone I know ordered a few $$$ items from TME and they arrived within a week or so after placing the phone order. This was this month (March) so not all is bad. Just wanted to give some very recent positive feedback.

I bought Tein CS from Todd. I gave him a deposit and he was going to install a week later. The day he was going to install he cancelled and then seemed to have a problem setting a new date for the install. After 3 weeks, I finally asked for a refund. Todd never responded and it took me months to get my credit card company to reverse the charges. He never did reply to voicemails or emails about the situation. Most of the time I couldnt even leave him a message because voicemail was full. I even tried the route of getting Liz involved since she seems to have the connection with him, and from what I could tell, he didnt respond to her either.

I have read many posts over the months titled "wondering where Todd is" and "why doesnt TM Engineering return my calls".

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=246755 is another recent thread.
