Our Philosophy:
We are a small technically-oriented outfit that focuses on product development not fancy packaging, phone support, and marketing. We bring you high-quality, value-priced products aimed at self-starters willing to read documentation, learn independently and most importantly try things on their own without someone providing guidance every step of the way.
About Moates.Net and our products:
It is important for you, our users, to understand what we expect of you and what we aim for in our products. Our philosophy at Moates.Net is simple: we want to bring enthusiasts the highest quality products for tuning their cars at a reasonable price. What we mean by “enthusiasts” is simple: people who are motivated to learn about tuning their car. It doesn’t matter whether you’re working on your own car or work for a shop – if you’re willing to learn about tuning a car, you are part of our target audience.
Our objective isn’t to make a fortune – there are plenty of companies out there that sell comparable products for a whole lot more. With that said, there are trade offs in our approach. Our products frequently do not even have boxes, let alone fancy packaging like other vendors. Our products do not ship with much printed instructions – instead our documentation can be found online. (Like this support site!) We devote most of our resources to product development, leaving limited resources for intensive support. We have chosen instead to provide inexpensive products with fewer frills aimed at a more educated user.
What We Expect of You
Here at Moates.Net, education and teaching are things we value highly. We don’t expect everyone to be born knowing how to tune a car or use our products. We expect anyone who purchases our products to be willing to READ and learn independently. We will help you if you run into trouble, but we expect you to READ documentation and try to do it on your own first. We base a lot of the technical documentation and guides we develop on the questions that you ask. (If you have any suggestions for additional guide topics, we are always willing to listen.) Many of our activities, such as this support site and our YouTube channel with its video tutorials, are aimed at providing resources to further educate our users.
If it doesn’t work out…
Worst case, we have a no questions asked money back guarantee for any parts returned in the condition they were received. (We can’t issue a full refund for items damaged through neglect, negligence or abuse.) We hope this isn’t how things end, but you’re only out the cost of shipping and the time you spent trying to figure it out.
