First, does anyone know or have any Ideas on how to find the jerks from autowerks? I would love to get the product I paid for.

Second, In the Future, I am only going to use companies recommended on this site. Is there a list?


Thanks,

A frustrated E60 owner.

You might not get anywhere yourself with this information but depending on how much they ripped you off for, it might be handy to have the info if you choose to report them to someone like the Attorney General's office in California...

Good luck!

Autowerks or Active Autowerks? If you mean the same thing, I thought they were based out of Miami, FL.

Good question, I probably got the two mixed up.

AA is in Florida and I'm positive they wouldn't rip anyone off. I know the owner's son from another site I used to frequent before we were even into cars.

I'm pretty sure the OP meant http://www.autowerks.com since there is no contact information on the site and everything you click on to purchase just takes you to various eBay listings...

Damn. I used them a few months ago. Had ordered some Angel ibrights from them. Decided to cancel the order after 2 weeks of nada. Wow - they closed up shop like a fly-by-night telemarketer. Here's the archived main page from the Way back machine. There's an 800 number at the bottom, though I doubt its useable. You may be able to seek recovery options though if a reverse trace can be performed on whomever owned the number. Wowzers.
