AIM has good products because Joe says so! LOL

Copied this off the net. It is also found in the new Truckin' mag.

A Message from Joe Morrow

It is hard to believe that 22 years have passed since we ran our first full page ad in Truckin
magazine. My customers with Hottops and Ratical tops were the average age of 20yrs and
now they are middle aged men in their forties spending big dollars on their Hotrods. I
brought mail order to the Truckin group when the majority of mailorder came from Sears,
Summit, and JC Whitney.
It has been a love/hate relationship bringing products DIRECT to the consumer without
going thru the recognized distribution channels where everyone has their hand out, taking
their piece of the pie. I have made a lot of friends, and more than my share of adversaries
because of my pricing tactics. My prices made Mini Truckin and Truckin lifestyles affordable,
expanding the market to what it is today. On the other hand, old school dealers were
upset at the pricing and fought us by spreading the word that the product must be inferior
and cheap, or else it could not sell that low. Young men with nothing else to do, jumped
on the forums and spread the word. Most of the scuttle on the internet is posted by young
people that have never met me, but only jumped on the bandwagon because they nothing
to do all day but post absurdities on the internet.
A basic marketing premise: Doesn’t matter what they say, as long as they are talking about you! Think about it. After all of their
nonsense, we are still the biggest out there. You just have to know that the big guy is always the target. It comes with the territory.
The Internet is an absolutely GREAT thing, but lets keep it in perspective, and do the math.

FACT:

We ship over 500 packages a day. We try to do everything possible, but mistakes happen. If we have a 1% mistake ratio,
then that means that 5 customers had a customer service issue, and we resolve all issues quickly. Email me and see. In fact, email
me on any issue no matter how old it is. You will get a positive response, guaranteed.

FACT:

Our competitors do not even ship 50 packages a day and this means if they had a 1% mistake ratio, only 1 customer every
other day would have a customer service issue.So, you might say we have 100 customer service issues a month, while our competitor,
(any of them) have a mere 10 customer service issues. The Internet is not very forgiving, because that means that we generate
10 times the potential forum discussions of our nearest competitor. Everyone knows that bad news travels at the speed of
light. Look at it another way: This means we have 9,900 happy customers every month, while our competitors have 990 happy
customers. But we all know that happy customers rarely spread the news.....
When I began advertising in the Truck Magazines, I was 45 years old. Now I am a happy 67 years old, and I spend my time doing
what I want, and monitoring customer service issues. It is not possible to please everyone, but believe me, I do the best I possibly
can. This message to all our customers, and to those that buy into the forum chatter is to let you know I have been here the last 22
years, and I will continue to monitor my emails and take phone calls from unhappy customers that I intend to make happy.
Most of you know Matt Petro of Gauge Magazine. If you don’t, you can email him at matt@gaugemagzine.com Matt is a recognized
young Guru, that has become the spokesman for thousands of young people. Matt will tell you like it is. Matt is an objective
individual and is a straight shooter.
Remember.... There are 3 sides to every story. Their side, your side, and then there is the truth. I strive with everything I have to
be on the side of truth and what is right. Try me.............. Oh, and one more thing, you can bet they will be talking about this ad forever.

I simply cannot lose.

AIM, AIRBAGIT.COM, CHASSISTECH, STREETRIDEPRO.COM

Our adversaries say: “Why so many companies? AIM is the flagship,
Airbagit.com specializes in Air Suspension around the world. Streetridepro.com specializes in the Hotrod market,
while Chassis Tech is the wholesale area of the company. Why are our prices less than most? It is because we have 33 CNC machines,
on 3 1/2 acres, with over 125,000 sq feet under roof, all dedicated to making suspension parts. For those of you that attend
the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas, I will not be hosting a booth this year. It simply is too much money. Money that I prefer
to spend on printed ads and maintaining the lowest possible

prices for our customers..

My personal email is:

joe@chassistech.com Don’t you hate it when you do not get a timely response to email or none at all? Try me on. I am waiting....I monitor emails to see you get a proper reply

I will take on all issues, both good and bad. I will do everything I can to please you, past, present and future. If you do
not want to resolve any real, or imagined issue, then go on the forums and do your thing... You would be the person that
simply cannot be pleased and just wants to bash, and intelligent people can see right through you. In fact, they will want
to contact me to move closer to the truth.

I simply cannot lose.

Be comfortable that we have been in the same business at the same location for over 20 years. We simply could not be
here if our customers were not happy... It is as simple as that. And, I promise to beat anyones advertised price by 10%,
give you a better product, and ship it right away. Thank you, Joe Morrow

RATICAL TOPS

When Air Suspension does not work right, it hurts the entire Air Suspension Business

I do not care what company, or where you bought your Air Suspension. If you are having
any type of problem with it , I will solve it for you. I have set up a $5,000 per month reserve
which will be spent to solve any problem you come up with, no matter where you bought it.

Any problem, Any Company...

BRING IT ON... Contact me now!

Ok I'll admit I've bought 2 sets of SS style mirrors from them and am happy with them. I've also owned a set of real SS mirrors and they're very close to the same quality. BUT I had a kid come to me with a 3 link of theirs and I told him we'd install it because I didn't find out till the middle of the install where it was from. That was a big mistake. That kit was a POS the welds on the links were fine, but the fitment was WAY off. I'd never buy anything except mirrors from them and what the hell does meeting him have to do with the quality of his parts?

Yeah I'm sure AIM does ship out more than their RETAIL competitors, but it can't be that big of a margin when you compare AIM to manufacturing competitors and how many bad part words have you heard from KP, Air Ride, Slam Specialties, Belltech, etc...

[sykominitrkr]

Honestly, I've never done buisness with them, and don't intend on doing so. Why would I ?.... he said it himself. They have A LOT of customers, which means it's hard for them to focuss on just one person/problem. I'd rather give my buisness to a smaller company, with a smaller clientele, but that's just me.

[layNrkr]

fail Fail Fail Fail

[layNrkr]

they arnt that far from me and i still wouldnt go there... i have a buddy who just bagged his truck after telling him not to go to aim he did and he has a whole box of crap to take back..simply just doesnt work....

[neo71665]

Now remember we are just young men with nothing better to do than to talk trash about trash.

Funny how he must be getting worried about how the rep of his companies is going into the crapper with bad business practices and products that he takes the time out of his busy day to have somebody (i'm sure he didn't) write something that long.

It's probably a duck???

Not to mention the fact of him paying for an entire page w/ no advertising.

[sonomanator]

isnt a 2 page ad in MT like 40 grand? that much money could have been used to solve some of there product problems.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

^you're kidding me right? 40g's!

[Deeze49686]

fock that, when we start buying parts for our trucks from the walmart of the parts aftermarket, the quality goes way down, we have more posts in hacked rides(which is fine by me) and person to person troubleshooting goes out the window. id rather pay 10% more for someones experience, and a piece that has been redesigned due to flaws, and etc than a piece of shit that they dont have time to figure out because all they care about is volume sales.

It's $19,315 for a full color full page ad.

LMAO

what a ****ing whinebag......

"I SIMPLY CANNOT LOSE"

[Innis]

ya i saw this in MT this month and i thought it was a joke

all i gotta say is, companies like SD or AVS dont have to put up these full page text ads in magazines trying to back up up their products and customer service, reason being they just dont need to do it, thye have good reputations, they can use their full page adds to show us more products

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Well that's a lot better.

[sonomanator]

i said 2 pages so i was close.

[LOW S-10]

500 a day? Give me what he's on!

A difference of $1370 you've went over, sorry you didn't win the showcase showdown

[01cherryreds10]

The thing that scares me most about this is, they probably do send out 500 packages a day. And do you know who buys that garbage? The people that read those magazines thinking that AIM 3-link will hit insane sides and be super easy to install. And those people probably don't know about S10Forum or any other means of communication with the people (us) who know how shitty of a product AIM sells.

[2toneSdime5]

if business is so good why would he print that.. why would he print that anyways.. thats just really WEIRD.. print a article you wrote about yourself convincing everyone that you have built a sucessfull business?!?!?

probably why they target SD!!1 bahahaha

Meh, maybe john will see thru this and ban the use of aim products threads here. he hates douchebag business ethics lately, read his acer comp thread.

The guy that brought the 3 link to me told me he gave over 1k for just the link setup so I figured it had to be a good kit, he also told me it was from SD and well to be honest back then I hadn't ever seen anything by them just heard they were good so I figured he was telling the truth since I was going to be working on his truck.
Turned out the kid lies about how much he pays for everything and well just about everything else. If he would have told me he gave $300 for the entire "bolt on" kit then I'd shewed him away and told him to come back with something that works.

I complained about one set of mirrors that I bought, the convex was too convexy and they were suppose to send me a new passengers side. I got a Truzarossa mirror, I called them and they sent me two SS mirrors. STRAIGHT TO EBAY. Turns out all their mirrors have a little more convex to them, it just takes a little getting use to.

[01cherryreds10]

I just wish that SD would put some ads in a Truckin' mag. Most stores don't carry the MT magazine, and with AIM all over Truckin', they get more business. I have a strong passionate hate against AIM and FBI

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Our Wal-Mart carries MT and I live in a county full of Christians that all they can do is bitch about stuff they shouldn't have their noses in. They got alcohol banned from our Wal-Mart, they won't even sell martini glasses.

But AIM has to be bringing in a lot of money to have a magazine within a magazine and it looks like Joe even has his own editorial now.

[01cherryreds10]

Doesn't hurt that he throws the parts at them to use either

[skinnyg]

back before a good many of these companies existed, like 15 years ago, I bought 2 valves from AIM, which i had to get a rebuild kit for like 3 mths later, they wouldnt warranty, and a 3/4 horse compressor, the plastic fan thing was so close to the guard the first time i put power to it it shredded to peices, they wouldnt warranty. I am honestly surprised they are still around.

Why would he print it? Somebody pissed in his cheerios and he retaliated that way. A self written ego boost for his allready supersized ego. What a waste of an ejaculation.

damn 40 gs thats crazy, and im with who ever said i dont have any experience with aim and i dont care, id rather give my money to the smaller guys.

But with him printing it it makes more people talk bad about his company and has drawn even more attention to the flaws of it just like this thread, just one more hate thread.

There is your answer why he printed that...In all honesty just look at the add...he has so much junk on there its just tossed in there there is no real lay out..should show quality of the dealer right there.

While that may be "a basic marketing premise", it's not always a good one.

[cpolaris502]

one thing he said that i agree with is that the people that had good service usually dont come on a website and talk all about it, but the people that had bad experiences will.

funny though how there are so many people here that always talking about how awesome SD is and you never hear a SINGLE thing good about aim.

[droppedss]

I'm emailing him.

His company, products, ego and ideas piss me the f*ck off.

[Lowsonoma03]

make sure you copy it to the forum!

[droppedss]

Oh, I will def. make sure. I'll update the AIM/WOW thread in the consumer reports.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

hell yeah do. I wonder if he's ever been sued by one of his products failing and causing someone to wreck.
There's a guy on one of the fullsize forums that had an AIM 4/6 drop and the new bracket that holds the axle in place on his flip kit broke. Sure he said he was giving it hell, but shit.

[nemesis8]

[bagdntagd]

Drove by AIM two days ago and all I could say was how sad the building looked. It was obvious that sales had dropped pretty low because there weren't the usual crowd of vehicles there. It was like at 2pm. Not one single minitruck there or anything customized for that matter. It's going to be a glorious day when they final see their demise. Suck it easy Joe.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Well then that's probably why he printed this ad, to try and get some business back. BTW all the mini trucks that used to be at their facility are probably in a shop somewhere getting fixed.

If they do go out of business then Truckin' will probably go out of business too from loss of advertising funds.

Looks like all the rides are stock. I guess the employees know how shitty the products they make are.

[russell]

somebody should email this link to the ****tard

[layNrkr]

maybe AIM will closed like i just heard STREET BEAT here in PHX has closed the doors....

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Was SB a shitty company too? I never heard anything about them, just went to their site a few times.

no more street beat?? oh noez

[droppedss]

*email sent.

[layNrkr]

got 2 people that work for them on a local s10 site and 1 of them posted today that the doors are closed and they didnt even get notice...

and yes, streetbeat and aim are alike...

[layNrkr]

then again i hope by street beat being gone doesnt help aim out..
