In this post you will learn the truth about Mike Savino and his company POWER BASTARDS.You will learn that he not only falsely advertises his products but is a very misleading liar and doesn't follow his own policies.So I hope this information I am about to tell open's the eye's of all Buick member's, not only on this site, but also the other T-Buick site so they don't have to go through what I am going through.
To make a long story as short as possible I spoke to Mike Savino of POWER BASTARDS about replacing my alternator on my stock 87 GN, he suggested I go with his 240 amp alternator which he said and I quote"is the perfect match for my stock 87 GN" he also told me that the reason for many of our cars that run like crap is do to not having the right alternator.I then asked him if this alternator will work with my stock electrical system he said "YES" then I asked him if I have to modify anything to make it work to it's full potential and he said "NO"So I trusted him and ordered the alternator he suggested.Upon the arrival of the alternator,to my surprise,was instructions that suggested I upgrade the charging wire to at least a 4 gauge wire.So I called up Mike and expressed my concern and he told me to buy a charging wire kit,at this point I didn't want the alternator, he initially lie to me to sell his product.He then gave me the run around and told me to ask other vendors about this alternator,so I did and all of them said to go with a 120-140 amp alternator that 240 was way to much for a "stock"GN.So I e-mailed him and told him I wanted to return his product and by his own policy needed to get a "Return Authorization Number."He then e-mailed me and told me to sell it on one of the Buick site's and again refused to give me the "Return Authorization Number" and I also realized the address where the alternator came from was different from the POWER BASTARDS address so I have no idea where to ship it to.So again I e-mailed him to rectify the problem and got no reply.I then contacted my credit card company about this situation and they told me they would investigate my problem with the POWER BASTARDS company.After I faxed over all the e-mails that transpired between me and Mike my credit card company told me that I did all that I could do to return the product and that they would take care of the problem.Now this got Mike upset and he posted on the other T-Buick site that I was a liar and a thief,he also gave out personal information about me.I tried to log on to the other T-Buick site, to explain what really happened, but was denied access.I don't want his alternator,I only want to return it but my credit card company advised me to hold on to his product until this issue is fully resolved and then I would promptly return it. I will be also trying to post all the e-mails that took place between me and Mike so you can be the judge.Mike only cares about him self,he doesn't have our best interest in mind..For now on I will only be dealing with the honest vendors on this site.Thanks,ikle.
