No Longer with LIPD

Just wanted to make everyone aware that I am officially no longer associated with Long Island Performance Diesel.

There are lots of tuners that have been sent out recently (mostly to FTE users here) and alot of people awaiting tunes from us. I am happy to say that you will continue to get SCT support from me; all previous LIPD SCT customers need only contact me directly. Please simply send me a private message, email, or call me at 828-606-3263 (I will not always answer this number; please leave a message). While I am no longer with the company and cannot provide help with shipping or other product information from LIPD, feel free to contact me with any other concerns.

Sales of tuners through me will be halted for the next week or two; anyone who still wishes to purchase one from me, please simply contact me- I will be keeping a waiting list and as soon as my sales resumed they will all be shipped at once. If you desire to get one immediately; I highly recommend Eric Eldreth @ Innovative Diesel as an alternative.

Please keep an eye out for FTE sponsorship through my own new and upcoming company, Spartan Diesel Technologies. It is also very likely I will have a familiar and respected face from right here at FTE at my side

Good luck Matt and best wishes. Sometimes adversity and "being backed into a corner" bring out the best in individuals. I have no doubt you will be succsessful no matter which direction you choose to wander. Thank you for letting everyone know what is going on, and recommending a well respected competitor (Eric @ innovative diesel) business that you and or your partner cannot fulfill totally at this time. This is truely what makes this a great site. Honesty, plain and simple.

Whoa!

That's some very new news.

You'll do great on your own man. You're taking care of people and they will remember that.

Smart vendors learn the war is won with service, not price =o)

Matt:

Congratulations, with your reputuation you'll do well I'm sure.

I ordered my SCT through you and Jorge a week or so ago and I am not sure if it has arrived at my buddies place in Washington but I am going there end of this week to visit.

I will be calling you for your legendary tuning magic. Thanks for keeping us informed. Greatly appreciated.

Good Luck Matt!

Customer service is the name of the game folks! Matt will provide service even after the sell.

Good luck with you new business venture. With your vast knowledge of the 6.0 and the comfort level you have working on them it should be a breeze! You will have to get your Statesville posse some Spartan Diesel window stickers. I will certainly blaze it proudly on my vehicle!
