Bender!!!!


yeah, I got a laugh out of that question as well.


Sounds like any company that has a lackey working for them. Once the boss finds out, sh!t hits the fan.

Good Luck!
 
The problem is Tim bender doesnt own bender racing anymore Rich Daly does. Rich acquired the buss. after Terry Paine who bought bender racing from Tim ran it into the ground financially. I would ask buffalobob for help, he spends alot of time there..

I forgot about that..

I read that in snow tech I think.
 
thanks mrviper700 I knew bender was sold thats why asked for the last name. shows how good there product is if it takes 3 different owners.
 
I have done alot of business with Rich Daly and know him personally as he lives only 20 minutes from me. He always was a good guy to deal with so maybe you should speak with him. I know i would surely get to the bottom of it if i were you.
 
ever since Tim Bender sold the business, it was all downhill from there....they can even replay to a simple email.....they advertise on the site the possible return of making v-max 4 quads if enough interest email them for details........me and a numerous other guys have not heard squat from them.....will I ever give them my business......don't think so!
 
so never got my call back from bender like expected called today and asked for Rich Daly and he was supposovly not there problem is Ive called so often they no who I am by my voice. So il cal back tommorrow and get a co worked to ask for Rich.

There going to have to change there name to Bender Rapeing.
 
Man what a joke, now you don't even know who to talk to(the Boss)or get
them to talk to you.

like i said, i feel for ya man.
 
Doesn't Rich own Dynoport? You may want to try to call him there..Just a thought.

I talked with Rich at the NOVI snow show and stated that the "NEW" Bender Racing is a totally seperate company from any of his other business.
He may just have a very inexperienced "low" paid crew that is trying to get that outfit rolling again.. :dunno: T
 
I'm sorry about the BAD INFO!! I didn't know it was sold... Tim Bender was a stand up guy and it always put a smile on my face when we met.. I don't know the details, I'm sorry that you got treated so badly... Try and call the owner and see if he is a weenie or not!!!! if he's a weenie,,, naturally I will jump on the bandwagon!!!

i have nothing but good things to say about bender CANADA. are they still in business? thats unbelievable what they did to you.


I just wanted to say that I do NOT have good things to say about Bender Canada.
Last year I decided to order a clutch kit for my 98 700 XTC-P. I saved the 350+dollars and gave them a call and asked what the kit included.
They told me that it has both a primary spring and secondary spring, some tuning rivets, multi angle helix and even some engagement shims.

2 Weeks later when I got the kit all it had was a new helix and a bent primary spring....Thats it.
I immediately called them and asked whats up with that. The guy told me that was all that came in the kit. I informed him that I was not going to pay almost 400.00 dollars for a spring and helix. He told me to return it and he would credit my card. Thought to myself great no problem.

NOT !!!!

It took over a month and allot of phone calls to finally get my money back, and I mean allot.
I don't know if I would ever order anything from them again.

To bad MAXX PERF closed.

Just my 2 cents worth...
 
so No phone call yet and I guess the owner dosnt work.

Sucks they screwed you too. My buddy ordered a clutch kit and bender can last year and it still dosnt have it lol.


Il I can say is Im done, they man have screwed me out of $100 but im goin gto make sure they loose 1000times that in business. Its going to be my personal vandetta.

holy crap.
when i dealt with them he was closed, but sent someone down to the shop to get my head gasket and clutch spring to ship it out for me right away. and that was my first time dealing with them. second time i ordered my vforce3 and got a wicked deal on them, later had problems with the pedals cracking and he changed them out for cost price.
 
Redsnake-

Glad to here that they were good to you.
Until I read this thread I thought Bender would be the place to deal with.
I don't think I will ever deal with them again. Either the Canadian or american Bender.
But it does sound like they have been good to you. Hopefully they always will be...
 
effen bender
