DC Sports is now owned by Pilot Automotive/Pilot Automotive

Folks,
I have just found out this afternoon that AEM has just sold DC Sports devision to Pilot Automotive/Pilot Automotive.

The reason I found out was I need to get a CARB sticker for my Acura TL-S. After a fax to AEM, I received a call back from AEM to inform me that they have sold the DC Sports division something back in October. I would need to call Pilot Automotive for any DC Sports issue.

My quest continues since the person I need to talk to was not available.

Just an FYI.

Pilot automotive sucks just as bad. I use to have foglights from them on my 94 Integra and they blew out once a month.

Quick update. Called up the customer service today. The person I spoke to was very helpful. He searched for the EO number and called me back in 10-15 minutes. I was informed when doing the smoke check, show this number to the technician and he will punch in the number to the system to verify the part. I hope this works out.

That happened about a month ago. Pilot used to be lacking in quality and customer service but it hasn't improved its image and quality significantly over the past couple years. They own a lot of companies now, including DC Sports, Bully Dog, APC (another company that was poorly run but is being improved now by Pilot), Baja and more.
