Default MOCOM....

Mocom....Where are you?

I find it very difficult to get hold of these guys - I am sure you are uber-busy

I'm after getting my tracking done

Tried emailing and phoning?

Any clues?

Cheers
Wonky

Why are Mocom out of flavour now (apart from not being a sponsor?)

Extreme have never sponsored the ESC but still have repeat business from us.

(I must admit I do like Xtreme and have always used them because of their professionalism)

Not out of favour with me, I will still happily use them. Or extremes or anyone else that I can trust that will look after my car.

I have no idea about Mocoms "fall from grace" or indeed if they have fallen LOL - however, after having my scoob for almost 2 years - i still find it increasly difficult to find someone whom I feel wont try and have me over in some way! And whilst one place for one is "GREAT" and "Fantastic" for someone else they are "OK" or "not bad". Opinions will always differ!

In my "personal" opinion i found Andy at Special Scooby's to be the most honest, direct and fairest mechanic. And unlike alot of other places we've tried, he's always willing to explain things in "non-mechanical" terms and if he changes parts etc - he always shows you your old part and the problems with it!

Zak has gone out of his way to help me when I had problems & I am not local at all. I certainly hope Mocom is still active as I will use them again

Zak would still get my business if work didnt get in the way of me getting down there - desp for geometry set up.

Forum sponsorship is VERY expensive.

With respect be certain of your facts BEFORE making statements like that

Xtreme have bought and paid for the ESC/SIDC Marquee. They have also sponsered several events

Couldn't agree more

Sorry Phil, if I seemed out of order, I was not trying to be inflammatory at all.

It just seemed that there haven't been a lot of 'Thanks to Mocom' threads recently, and as I can't get to the meets often now, I didn't know what had happened to them.
I retract my statment about Xtreme sponsorship, as I was quite clearly incorrect, and again, being a fringe member of the ESC, I didn't have the knowledge about the marquee.

I still stand by the fact that I would use Xtreme for their professionalism and knowledge of Subaru's.

I spend a lot of time (when I have it) looking at the posts on here, without replying to most of them, just in case I upset someone by what I have posted, and when I do join in, I do just that!!

I think I'll go back to just viewing

No need to apologise mate

You certainly didn't upset me just wanted to correct you on Xtreme's contribution as they have actually contributed to US rather than Scoobynets coffers over the years and still remained a great outfit

I've never had anything to complain about with Mocom.

Always had great service personally and will continue to recommend.
