I am in a $1066 dispute with ACS right now. So far I have been given all the
rhetoric that can flow from Jim Irwin's underlings. Today alone I have been
put on hold for 28 minutes waiting for a call back since 1800 Z ... The time
now is 2200 Z.

Dan, would you happen to have Jim Irwin's phone number or direct email?

Truly great service is determined not when everything goes smooth but how
well they smooth out the bumps.

PS
I'm sick of hearing Jim talk about ACS as a FAMILY. I would not treat my
FAMILY the way ACS treats their customers.

Barry,

Go in to some detail here on the list and I'm sure Jim will get in touch with you and get it settled real soon!

No, it has been about 2 years ago. I had the same experience with "customer service."

Dan:

I'm going to wait just a little bit longer and see if the person I talked to
will follow through and offer a proper solution. Then if nothing happens I
will peruse a different path. I'm only the mechanic on the plane with the
problem.

I don't want to air dirty laundry for no reason. Bad publicity is hard to
correct.

The difference between dealing with ACS Customer Service and dealing
with Jim....Customer Service is hired and trained to 'protect the fort',
Jim owns the fort and can dispense favors and blessings as he sees fit.
It's actually an efficient and effective setup.

If Customer Service acceded to every request and demand (and there are
plenty of unreasonable ones out there), ACS might be a bit more highly
thought of--but probably broke. By Jim dispensing absolution in metered
amounts, the reputation for making things happen accrues to him (which
it should--after all, the reputation of a small business is inexorably
linked with that of the owner/manager) while he is able to regulate the
drain on the company.

Whether Irwin did this by design or happenstance, it's obvious he's no
dummy....that title is reserved for those of us that decide to build a
plane and allot half the time and half the money that it's really going
to take.

Thanks,
Chuck Jensen
