I know there are several threads out there giving props to Tobin @ Kore, but I feel I need to post this up to show how amazing this company is ran.
Rewind to Oct 10/2008. This is the day that Tobin received my front Coleman spindles, front adapters, and a list of what I wanted. I wanted my brakes to match all the way around. I wanted C6 Z06 calipers and rotors, along with custom hubs made for the Coleman spindles and have everything work out so I could still use my adapters to run C5 Z06 wheels(18" knock off in front now due to rotor size). They went through the trouble to model up everything to keep my track width the same as where I started before hand. Custom brackets, etc etc. The whole shabang.
Now this is where my story kinda strays from other peoples stories... I had all of the money lined up, ready to pay for my order. I was also in the middle of purchasing a new truck out of the US. I'm in Canada. After getting, well ****ed around hard by the dealership I made it home, but had to use my money for the brakes to help me get home. So I e-mail Tobin and I told him my story. Apologized for my situation, but told him essentially... "You have my parts, I want you to be the one that I pay for this setup." I followed that with "I WILL pay you, I will NOT leave you hanging". Tobin took my word even though this is the first time he has ever heard from me and went ahead with making the spindle setup work with my parts and getting everything organized. Sending things to machining, coatings, etc.
I told Tobin I would have the funds around Christmas time-ish.
Well the economy took a massive dump up here. I'm in the oilfield and we were hit hard. My job was on the line daily, had a truck payment, insurance, living costs, and what have you. I was still trying to save up as much as possible to follow suite on my bill owing but not at the rate I had wanted. I then found out I was heading to school for welding. So once again I had to tuck my tail and tell Tobin this information. He completely understood and told me "Whenever you get the funds, send them my way, no big deal" He even told me I could make payments on the order. So just before school I payed roughly 75% of the bill. That was Feb 16/2009. I was really banking on the fact that I was going to sell a vehicle to finish paying the bill but that did not happen when I expected. Still very understanding, Tobin wasn't upset one bit, and was genuinely interested in how our local economy was. We had a nice little chat about that.
Now fast forward to today. The vehicle I was selling, finally sold and Tobin had the rest of the bill owing payed to him. 5 months later and not one sign of being pissed off, angry, annoyed etc. He knew I was in tough times, needed cash for other things, yet I am a man of my word and held to them. HE WAS going to get payed in full, and finally did.
So a MASSIVE thank you to Tobin at Kore3. You are a serious class act.:1st: You will get customers that are refereed by me. The world is round brotha
:smoke:
Sorry if I have some grammatical errors, or poor sentance structure, I smashed this out while it was half fresh in my head.
