Weather Stations?

[Signman]

Looking back at records:
Purchased in 2003
Have charges in 2004 & 2005 & 2011
Just paid $250 a few months ago.

So was I a customer? It was sent back when readings began to not look right or there was a real problem.
You've had it back 4 times where does that stand with you averages?
If it was sent back to you every year what would be different?

I'm not dissatisfied with the weather station it has served me well.

Every time it went back I was charged a fair price except for the last time.
I am dissatisfied with your company policy and how you are handling this.

Frank,

You are free to be dissatisfied with our company policy and I am sorry you can not understand why we charge more to fix your older system.

As a business owner it is upsetting that we produced a product that has lasted for 13 years, is still working, and tried to give good support to that product for 13 years. And now we are receiving negative feedback and losing a customer.

I guess it would be better for us to tell you we no longer service your model and you are S.O.L., then again you might complain about being S.O.L.....?

But I do NOT understand why you made a negative comment about me personally?

"The customer may not always be right....
But they are always the CUSTOMER"

Kinda has a ring to it.......

It's real simple:
Sometimes you feel like you received a fair value for your dollar and your business was appreciated then sometimes you don't but continue to work with the company because you invested in them and there are no options.

"I guess it would be better for us to tell you we no longer service your model and you are S.O.L., then again you might complain about being S.O.L.....?"
Just a little condescending.
From your company perspective the only option is to charge double or not service the product at all.
Your strategy to keep a long time customer and convince them trading up is a good option is telling them what they own is no longer any good because it's been in service too long. Why not service the unit and leave the customer with a smile so when the cost to repair is not justified they naturally trade up to your new product because of the good experience and service.

I don't believe "the customer is always right" but the customer should always be serviced in a way that they feel they received value and their business is appreciated.

I don't have a lot of experience yet with my Altronics Performaire (and none with any other), but it's definitely helped tip me off to some changes in the air I might have missed otherwise and has worked perfectly for the 3 years I've had it. So far I've been happy with it.

And my question I submitted via their website a little while ago was answered within about five minutes.

I'm at Bristol and walked the pits and I noticed every single Pro Stock rig has a Computech Race Air Pro.

I bought a used Computech RaceAir Pro a couple of years ago. Wasn't sure how old it was so I decided to have it up-dated. Called them and they were very friendly and said it would be I think $80. Sent it in and they called to say it was done. The guy told me it was the same now as if it were new. When I received it, they had even included a new carrying case. What a deal! Couldn't be happier. Great customer service!

Every single fuel car has 2 altalabs for some reason. Weather station and crew chief pro are valuable tools but it all comes down to how much homework you do on your car. Logbooks and learning the trends of your combo are very important.
