i had some very bad customer service from jabba 10 years ago , i think thier failing attitudes are what helped gwerks get popular back then and now theyve gone the same way jabba was a victim of its own success , at first it was just mike doing all the work himself and seeing people right all the way , then they got too busy and iirc employed his brother inlaw /family to help , he was the most pig ignorant bad customer service person ever and the reason i wont return , they also seemed to shove gladers to the back as at the time 20vt were getting popular and g60 didnt matter anymore , but the word travels and you have to remember a pee'd off g60 owner might be in the latest car nest year and youve lost another potential customer anyway , ive bad mouthed them at every opertunity sinse and hopefully cost them more than they ripped me off for in lost custom as for gwerks ...says it all that no one can be bothered to respond or make an excuse like we dont matter , there was a time gwerks posted on the forums daily and would try and help a g60 owner in trouble
