WARNING: Rumour is PES has shut its doors...

Post by sakimano » Wed May 07, 2014 8:10 pm

Hopefully nobody has any orders in for anything from PES, because it sounds pretty bad. If you do, you may want to examine your legal and fraud options via your various forms of payment etc if this turns out to be true.

1. their phones are disconnected - [T] 215-675-6149 [F] 267-597-3828
2. they are not returning calls or PMs or emails on any forum/format
3. The following was just posted on Audirevolution by an S5 owner...very shady business from this Tony guy.

psiaddict wrote: Yes' I am in the same boat. Tony stopped replying to emails weeks ago. His explanation for the disconnected phone number was the fact they are moving shops and Verizon "screwed them" with the transfer. I asked a different forum member who knows him personally for his contact info and he was not allowed to give it out. I then asked him to give Tony my number again personally and have him call, text, or even return an e-mail. Weeks go by and multiple emails day after day with no reply.

At this point I was left with no choice but to ask his "acquaintance" to pass along a message that if I don't hear back from Tony immediately I would call the credit card company and dispute the purchase. Few minutes later I get a call I am not able to take from a blocked phone number. Few seconds later a get a voice mail "This is Tony from PES Tuning, sorry I missed you, I will try again later" no more, no less. With at big of a company as PES has become you would think the logical thing would be to leave a call back number. I then asked him to tell Tony again, that if I do not get a valid phone number I will proceed with the claim. Two days go by and nothing happens.

This morning I file a claim with e-bay/paypal, which is where I purchased the kit about 6 weeks ago. Immediately I get another call from a blocked phone number with the exact same voice mail and no contact info. This was then followed by an e-mail asking if this was actually my real number and for a time to call me back. Clearly, Tony does not want his phone number out there for the public. At this point I have asked him to not try to contact me at all from blocked numbers with pointless voice mails and communicate anything he has to say directly through the e-bay/paypal claim where everything could be documented.

I'm done playing games with this guy. The shop has moved, the phone number is disconnected, and the only times I seems to get a response is when I threatened to contact the CC/PayPal.

FON. Welcome along.

Sakoshit, just to let you know, I have interest what so ever if they have shut or not. It really bugs you by the sounds of it, so it makes me smile knowing you're doing all you can to try and prove this company are struggling/folding.
If guy's are losing money then that really is wankish. But we have a member on here who uses them and likes them, he can still contact them with no problems.
I say, get in your motor, start the stopwatch and see how long it takes for you to get down there. Then remember, that my car would do it faster!

Guys are being fukt out of thousands. I realise you're emptyheaded enough not to understand that, and just want to take the opposite side of whatever I post so as to curry favour with a few of your e-friends, but seriously, fk off.

If you say they're 'still going' show something that will comfort those who are literally on the hook for more money than your car is worth. THen maybe you'll have made a valuable contribution.

So far, all we've heard is that Tony from PES...the only 'employee' left at this shell game of a company, has called people from a blocked mobile phone number...told stories about moving...promised refunds...and done fuk all.

He also claims they have a new headquarters and will be investing hundreds of thousands of pounds in manufacturing equipment. He posted an address to mail them at. Here is that address...

4942 national St., Philadelphia, PA 19135 (see picture below)

1. their phones are still disconnected. As in haven't paid the bills disconnected

2. they're still in dispute with multiple people who are trying to get THOUSANDS back from them after PES went radio silence a while ago

Oh, and just so you can see how 'well' it's going, here's their supposed 'new location'. It's in a ghetto area of Philadelphia and an forum member went by to check the story out for the other S5 owner filing the claim. No sign of life, and certainly not an Audi within miles.

Not an Audi in Mile's? Perhaps they are down the strip!

This post was brought to you by an empty headed fuk.

JHM RULE other tuners are available but are either scammers or thieving fuks.

he contacted jhm and other than that, I'm not sure. Maybe he should reach out to tts as jhm are still testing their kit on their in-house s5.

I think he's still trying to get his money back from pes though... That's his first priority.
