I learned of Travis by fb...He had a post on a DSM classified page...I've been in contact with him but still no results...This July will make 2 years since I started sending him $$ for my kit...I've modified cars off and on for close to 20 years now and I've been EXTREMELY lucky to have never been ripped off, so I kind of take it with a grain of salt...I've already paid close to $2k for another setup that I should have within a months time...I'll sell the "you wish" stuff if/when I ever get it...I know now to be even more careful than I have in the past...

you paid for something TWO years ago?

When you're a new adopter of untested hardware ...
... you should probably know the person you're working with ... and that's what you should expect to be doing ... working with them.

To be fair. I don't think EMP has anything to do with YouWish or their promotion. They may not even be aware of their existance.

But... The type of person who is dooped by EMP would also be easily taken in by YouWish.
EMP and youwish performance ( Travis) know each other very well so I would be very carefull.

there were quite a few posters on instagram promoting this youwish stuff a few months back unfortunately, all have ties to EMP...

Also BMW 335i Mods AKA AJ's free advertising group

Actually kind of glad I got banned from there, no more "who's got the hookup on some rep wheels" or "help I blew up my stock turbos testing pod filters" bullshit posts in my feed lol

I was the one who got my car back from Travis shop when he his shop was by 595 and SR 84 . I got tired of his games , he switched the story up so many times . For one AJ feed him somebullshit about not testing my car because it was an auto and not manual . Travis new from the beginning my car was an auto and really did not care , he just wanted my car to “ mock up “ “ create N54 “ kits which I agreed huge mistake . He stopped answering my calls , oh and the exhaust system “ the kraken “ has on his car , “ was actually made on my car “ when I got my car back , he took the exhaust off , now that’s why you see pussy kraken with my exhaust system !! So yes when I got my car back , some girl “ Jane “ got his kit on her car and wow let me tell you some heavy testing they did on her car “ bullshit “ shit her car only made 633 WHP crap !!! So the bullshit and lies both of these individuals say are beyond words . I am glad someone broke the Krakens WHP record , they ain’t shit no more !!!! Travis and AJ are full of shit , and I would say it to there face !!! Pussys

Personally I would get you money back, he seems like a nice guy but as a fabricator (Structural Steel) this guy is a joke. Best of luck!

He contacted me last week, said my kit was near completion and that it SHOULD go out this coming week...That's probaly 8-10 times I've been given the same song and dance...I'm trying to avoid taking any legal action because its probaly more hassle than what I have time for, but i'm beginning to think I may not have any other choice...
Same EXACT thing happened to me, ordered my kit from kit and made payments to him. He was telling me my kit was nearing completion every week for about 7 months. I finally got concerned come to find out he had gotten evicted from his shop, took all my money (4,600) dollars and disappeared. What the hell do I do.

Unfortunately, the charge back rules have changed a lot lately. How did you pay? If you used a card, the only chargeback option you have is probably related to fraud, aka you never gave him permission to charge you. Once you tell them its a quality of service or fulfillment issue, meaning you acknowledge participating in the transaction in any way, those are now different chargeback categories(reason codes) and they do not have the same windows for chargebacks. I think they've shrunk it down from a year to six months and now to just 90 days for anything that isn't fraud. And by fraud, they mean, 'you don't know who youwish is, why is this charge appearing'. And frankly, I wouldn't be afraid to try that angle. If I extrapolated out his business skills to his book keeping skills, chances are, he won't even reply to the chargeback and you'll win by default.

Unlike a regular paypal to paypal dispute, if he's using paypal to accept credit cards, paypal has the card association processing rules to adhere to, they essentially have a big aggregator MID(merchant ID) where they can issue out other processing accounts to other businesses. This MID has direct ties to the card processing network of Visa, MC or(less likely) it may be through another big platform like FirstData etc. My point is, paypal has to answer to the chargeback rules set forth by the card network you used.

If his business bank account is out of money, his merchant will continue to bill him and hold his personal guarantor liable for the charges. Paypal does essentially the same thing but they aid (and interfere) in the process more than a traditional merchant services provider.

Anyway, hope you get it resolved, but people on the forums have called out several companies for running shams, but the people on Facebook know everything and will stand by folks because they are their favorite youtuber. 99% of what a lot of people know is from what they just read last week and they have only a single source of information.

When you have to start making excuses for other people's excuses to make any sense, then you know there is something wrong.
