Chase Bays????

So ive been waiting for a few months now for my harness to arrive yet everytime i ask for something im told just a few more weeks or next week etc.

I want to see if anyone else has had any issues with them and if this is common business practice of them. As the site says nothing about a 3+ month turn around.

I call and no answers and i email with no replys... Im getting to the point where its really bugging me about there service.

Gary

A local shop in Atlanta paid them for a wire harness for a 2J into a SC an I think its going on month 10. Its either been wrong or not worked.

I was thinking of getting a wireharness from them but between that shop and what you are going through.....I think I'll pass.

Had a friend use them for his honda with a k swap, wires were all the wrong gauges, and nothing but problems. They make it look pretty, but if you have time and a couple bucks laying around, you can do it yourself. Just learn how to read a wiring diagram, solder, and hear shrink, and measure twice cut once. I got a spare harness for an evo 8 my car to completely tuck. took me around 18hrs to just do harness, then a few to swap them out. In the end i am proud to say i did it and only spent 300$ total. which i am selling harness so almost evens out. Just takes time

well im an aviation electrician and know i could do all this my self, yet the website stated it was a short turn around period for there work. Turned to be a front, now im waiting for the harness to be "express shipped" and told it will be here monday.

If the harness does not work i will take it higher and get people involved. I did a print screen of what they stated before as they have changed there site now and from false advertisment and quality of work. Ill let everyone know after mine comes in.

Worrying, was going to get one done. Think I will just get a milspec connector and find someone local in Australia to do it.

I wanted my body harness done to and to remove all unsed wires

Yea i wouldn't recommend them to anyone after this. All of the pin outs where wrong, and to top it off they used the wrong connectors not even the ones I sent them and tried to say that I sent the wrong harness.

Live and learn I guess, from now on only OEM wehn this problem comes up again.

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to a harness from them, too.

Yea its not worth it, my car could have been up long before they finished my harness if would have just ordered an OEM one in the first place. Dealing with them has cost me almost the same value of a built motor....
