First let me say buyer beware! ! ! Do not ignore the red flags like i did !! Do not be lured in by low cost!
I saw warnings but figured there are always unhappy customers. I was suckered in by his promise to check out my ecu and repair it for $115 if it could be repaired. Turns out both of the ecu's i sent were not repairable. I sent the first one, a duramax ecu in and after being told of the options, i went with a new programmed one (by him ). Upon receipt it did not look new and it would not work at all. He blamed his supplier. Everybody has a problem now and again so i gave him the benifit of the doubt and waited for the second one. It looked better , but still had wierd scratches all over it. It worked , but the vehicle still has a code that i can not seem to get rid of. May or may noy be a problem with the ecu.
Then i had a dodge cummins that had a questionable ecu. I sent it in and it too was unrepairable. I opted for a tested ecu this time. I took the truck to the dealer to be programmed. After being programmed by the dealer , the truck had codes because the ecu was for an automatic trans vehicle. He had my old ecu so there shouldnt have been a problem. Michael would not hear of covering the cost of programming. He sent another ecu which the dealer attempted to program. They could not even connect to it. I then told michael that i wanted to source an ecu elsewhere. I asked if i should use one of his ecu's for a core , but he insisted i send both his back and he would send me mine. Like a dumb a*s i did send his back. I was credited for the faulty ecu. However i did not receive my old one back. Upon phoning and emailing he stated that he had shipped it and would get the tracking number. After repeatedly asking and phoning , he never did give the tracking number to me , nor did i receive the ecu. That ment i got wacked a $250 core charge. So to boil down my expenses relating to mr michael patton , they are;
Programming 2 times $193
Initial fee $115
Extra freight $34
Core charge $250
Total cash out $592
this had nothing to do with all the extra time and customer aggravation! also be aware that it is a shady operation. After initial payment to michael patton , the rest of the payments went to another individual--toni mennuti. You figure that one out.
To recoup-- faulty parts , not new, not accountable for bad parts, and totally unresponsive .
Do not be lured in by low price . You will pay dearly in the end !! Ignore at your peril
