  • G110V2 Frustrations

    Hello,

    I recently purchased a Meguiar's G110V2 and had no luck with 2 of them so far. The first one, had cracks in the plastic and looked like someone used it with a backing plate and no washer. I contacted the Meguiar's Rep from the auto show that I bought the polisher from and agreed on an exchange for the second one.

    The second one had a loose end cover with a speed dial that is smooth from speeds 1-4 but gets stuck after (when i push the cover back to where it's suppose to be). Here's a thread I opened about the 2nd polisher's issue: http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...d-Dial-problem. When i told him about the problems with the second polisher (the loose end cover and stuck speed dial), he did not have anymore to exchange with me so he said he'll look at it with his "service guy" and try to fix it. So i went back and dropped it off.

    I called him about a week later to see what the situation was, but he seemed oblivious to what I initially told him was wrong with the polisher. All he did was test the polisher, and did not look at the problem with the cap or notice that the speed dial actually gets stuck. I am also not sure why he had to wait for me to call him to tell me that he did not diagnose a problem. I reminded him of the problem with the polisher, and he took a look at it again and told me he sees what the problem is now.

    After about another week's time, he tells me it's ready to be picked up. I wanted to make sure everything was good before I made my 4th trip there. He told me he just tightened the screw at the end to tighten up the end cover. This did not sound like he looked at the speed dial problem and once again I brought up the point that speed dial gets stuck when i tried pushing the end cover closer to the body (which i told him more than once before). He looks at it again tells me he sees the problem and he will get back to me. So now I am waiting for him again...

    I hope you can see where the frustration stems from, as the situation is dragging on unnecessarily and going back and forth from his city to mine to exchange/drop off the polisher is a long drive from where I live. However I am to blame for not making 100% sure that the polisher was in good condition before I left.

    Should I just take my polisher back now and if i send it to Meguiar's, will I get a replacement (I am from Canada)? I bought the polisher about a month ago and have NOT been able to even use it because of this situation. Also my backing plate (below) looks kind of used....is that normal? There are a bunch of scratches on the surface on the other side as well. Hopefully I can get a faster reply through the forums rather than using the contact form on the Meguiar's site.

    Thank you

        Avenger28.. judging by the pic shown, that is definitely not a new backing plate as it has some wear/defect on the bottom where it looks a little chewed up. At any given time any man-made machine/tool will have an issue and while some may have problems (unfortuntely, looks like you've had it twice), many will not. In anycase, sorry to hear about your bad experience with the G110v2 and I'm sure Mr. Stoops or Mr. Hann (or any other Megs CSR) will take care of the matter if there isn't any speedy remedy in dealing with this issue. If there's one thing Megs is exceptionally great at, it's their customer service. Hopefully someone will chime in here soon, Best of luck to you.

          Thanks for the input, I hope to hear from them soon..... When i spend 200+ on something I at least expect it to be new, unused (especially when I am told it is), and close to, if not flawless. I do understand that with machines (or anything else) there's always a chance you could get a bad one, but the problem here is that I feel like I am receiving poor customer service, getting brushed off and suspect that what i bought was used before, but was told it was NOT, which is a big no-no in my books.

                    Cosmin,

                    Sorry to hear about your difficulties. It is likely without a specific written request included with the machine you returned that we would have just sent a new machine. This is the default when a customer has not indicated whether they would like a refund or replacement machine because the overwhelming majority of warranty claims are handled this way. There must have been some sort of miscommunication. If you still desire a refund please contact our Customer Care Center at (800) 347-5700.

                      miscommunication ? when i ship it i ask for a v1 or refund , guess what i got back another v2. when i specific print a request asking that i prefer a refund as being the 3rd unit , and attach it with the polisher.
                      got the new replace and it burn me another pad. i already waist too much time with v2 and i didn`t finish any job with it.
                      PM a case nr , and address and i ship it for refund , i think it may be still in warranty. i bought it from ads , the receipt will be included. i call that ntr before and i still got a v2... u think if i call again it will change anything??
                      Thank you

                            Cosmin,

                            We received your buffer today by mail. Unfortunately it was only the buffer. There was no copy of the original receipt and the return address written on the box is difficult to read. In looking through our records we do have an address for you but it appears to be missing the apartment number. Can you please provide both of these items to me through a PM or email. As soon as we have this information we will process a full refund immediately.
