: Update - Craig or Mac’s Performance made it right!

In May of this year I purchased a Quad module for my LLY from Craig McElfresh or CPMAC as he is referred to here. I had drivability issues with the module so Craig asked Quad to overnight me the latest revision. The latest revision was slightly improved however, not what I would refer to as acceptable. At that point, Craig and I agreed that I could return the module for a full refund, including return shipping to Quad. I promptly shipped the module back and on 7/12 Steff phoned and confirmed both modules were received. Now its 8/5 and I have not received a refund so I called Quad and talked to Steff, she told me that both modules have since been reflashed and sent to Craig at Macs-Performance, she then passed me to Stan who listened to my story and said “Craig recently changed phones and I don’t have his new number so you might try Pming him at the Diesel Place, sorry but there is nothing we can do”! That’s strange, Craig mentioned several times he was in contact with Quad on a daily basis. Huh! At this point Craig will not respond to my phone calls on either phone or my PM’s. Am I the only member having this problem? At this point I don’t care what his deal is I just want my money!


Edit: Spoke with Craig, he appologized and assured me that this issue will be resolved, including a refund, reimbursment for shipping plus any interest accrued! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Thumbs Up.gif Edited by: RaceHemi

Here is another update:
DO NOT BUY FROM CRAIG OR MAC'S PERFORMANCE unless you want to get ripped off!

It has been 2 weeks now and for some reason I still do not have my money! Seems Craig was willing to do anything to make it right, that is until this post moved off of the first page here and then it's the same old story, no return phone calls, no refund yet.

Craig you owe me money!

Quad you are no better, your distributor is stealing from me!

Just out of curiosity what does Quad have to do with one of his vendors? It does not sound like a good deal, but they have a couple of hundred dealers and I think that it is a little unfair to blame the manufacturer. He can't babysit everyone.


I know some people do not like Quad, but I am about 100% positive he never tried to screw anyone. I think as far as refunds or returns or warranty Quadzilla has always been more than fair to everyone I have talked to.





You should try and call Quadzilla and see if they have a number that maybe you don't for this guy?


If you want to know about Mack, Dave and those guys and Quad, call Quad, he will tell you.

What is it like being a Puppet and a Cheerleader? I guess you enjoy your free Fraudzilla tuners to run around and only post Fraudzilla propaganda.


Alvin has alot to do with returns,do you think CPMac is going to eat the defective unit?


Who is paying all this freight?


Come on Clown go to the bat for the shunned ripped off consumer! Go call your butt buddy have him contact the party and send him some of his daddy's money and get the defective junk from CPmac.CPMac give the guy his money already,don't be a loser.Edited by: Mackin

I own a Ford so I'm busy working. I post more on the Diesel Stop and mostly read here.


When I see Alvin's Puppet post it burns my ass.Fraudzilla has you guys fooled he knows nothing and spends the majority of his time sitting in a tree stand hiding from his problems with his junk tuners.


He talks the talk and can't walk the talk ,he just throws his pops money around.


One thing is for sure Racehemi should not get the run around from a Fraudzilla distributer,that cannot be denied. If you read the topic CarterCrap you would see he called Alvin and got no where as usual.


Sometimes it takes the manufacture to get the distributer in line,guess the both are lousy business men.

Never said quad was a good or bad person to deal with, just said you were a troll.


What you are on a mission to save all of us Duramax guys? How noble of you.


You own a ford so your busy working? Thats just too easy......aint even going to bother with that onehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

08-19-2004, 05:26 PM
Ford GM,Troll ,The Truth,agree to disagree.Why not save you guys every chance Alvin gets on the Diesel Stop to put down someone else tuner to save us all he does.


I do know you share the same belief that Racehemi to this point getting ripped off by Fraudzilla distributer for a defective part.


Next up will be excuses,your truck,the only problem we've heard of,checks in the mail.


Don't worry Jrmac will be here soon to protect his pops.

Racehemi is owed a refund and didn't receive it yet much less in a timely manner. He has every right to be upset and the processing error that caused this problem was entirely my fault. Quad did everything he was supposed to and I dropped the ball. I can do nothing now but send racehemi a refund and implement new methods of double checking myself to make sure this doesn't happen ever again.

Just make it right ASAP. You admitted dropping a ball it happens, but not enough to have this posted on the net imho, but it is what it is sometimes

being a business man somewhat, I understand both sides of the fence on this. It takes a big man to admit he screwd up and a bigger one to do it in a public manner like this. I am sure CPMac will make it right, and everybody can give hugs againhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Hug.gif

I agree. He admitted it, and was great about it. Things do happen. So get over it, and go on with life. Craig is honest and will do anything to help out. Heck he never met me until a dyno in INDY back if Feb. And gladly dynoed my truck, and gave me tips on how to get more out of it. Thanks again Craig.

I haven't been reading too much so I guess I may have missed something.....I thought you said you didn't work for and are not Quad...so if this is the case ....where would you "talking to him to make sure it doesn't happen again" have any merit? .....cause you are only a satisfied product owner, correct?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif


Reggie, I don't have any problem with your posts. I realize they are negative and if that's how you feel so be it.....we can't all be as perfect as the rest of the critics. It's a forum...that's what it's for.


RHemi - I have talked with Craig in the past and he does not come across to me as a guy that would try to rip you off. Sometimes time gets away from us.....we are ALL guilty of it....especially with some of the vendors on here that are a one man team and try to please hundreds, if not thousands of us.....I can say without a doubt, I have not had a bad experience dealing with anyone who is CURRENTLY a supporting vendor. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

I am happy to say that Craig has resolved the refund issue! Last Thursday Craig phoned to tell me he would take care of this immediately after our conversation ended that day. He promised a check would be sent via FedEx AND he would a refund my credit card, this would surely take care of my refund plus he mentioned that he had the latest version of the Quad module at his shop and would include it with the check just so I could compare it to the older version I tried previously, for free of charge and for as long as I felt like trying it. I will admit I was more than a little apprehensive about Craig’s promise but as I mentioned before, I don't care about the details I just wanted my money back. So I get home tonight after a long Monday following a long weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit Michigan and as Craig promised I had a FedEx package, not a envelope but a package that included a check for the refund PLUS interest and shipping and the Quad module for comparisons sake. At that point I called the credit card company and I find out that the refund had posted to my credit card on last Thursday, the day he told me he was going to the bank to make it right. I then called Craig, told him I will destroy the paper check he sent via FedEx and try the latest Quad he sent me. I know from 20 years of customer relations that things can happen, and this time sh!t happened. I wish it had not taken this long but oh well, it is done now as far as I am concerned and Craig went beyond what I asked for and that was my money. He didn’t have to offer up a free trial of the Quad but he did and I appreciate that. We even discussed some things I could try at a couple local county fair truck pulls. No hard feelings so lets put this thing to bed and move on!

Now if my truck had not taken a free ride on the back of a rollback this morning all would be well! That’s another post so check back I will start a new post regarding the most terrible knocking engine I have ever heard!

Thank you Craig!
