I need to repair a shock which is leaking oil from my Tein SS coilovers. I called the place I ordered from, of course it's out of warranty, so they recommended a place in Montreal which can repair them. There has to be a place local in TO that does this too...but where? I can't afford the car being down for weeks while parts are being shipped back and forth so do you guys know any place that can refill the shock and have it returned in a reasonable amount of time?

 

I don't know specifically about Tein, but when I blew a shock on my D2's I just ordered a new one from them and they had it shipped to me in two days.

 

That place in Montreal are pros. I don't know of anywhere in Ontario that does it, but if it were me I'd ship them to Selex for sure.

 

I contacted Selex by email and told them I had a blown coilover that needed to be repaired, they replied stating that they cannot fix it however they did recommend one of their models as a replacement
Maybe it was just the guy who replied, but I thought Selex was the place to go as well.
Anyway I have a set of BC racing coilovers on order so once they arrive I'll remove the Teins and go from there. I really can't afford down time as this is my dd. I might have it repaired or sell them as is, either way I'll be selling them soon.

 

Is your warrantee from Tein expired? You could send it back to them for rma.

BC Racing ftw! I've been hearing more and more problems with Tein shocks. I don't think they're as good as some people claim, sounds like just good advertising/marketing but with no product to back it.

 

Warranty is up, of course but either way I can't afford the down time. I've been hearing that the turn around time for repairs from Tein is ridiculous. If we were in the states I think it would be a different story as far as shipping and customs blah blah, but here in Canada Selex seems to be our only option and even then I'm told they do not repair.

I'm looking forward to the BC Racing, picking them up from Nextmod

 

Hey, let me know if you end up finding someone who can repair. I am in the exact same spot as you. single shock leaking on tein coilovers

 

Love my SS TIENS but not happy about the difficulty of acquiring repair/replacement parts. I need new rings to adjust height - current ones are completely seized and my new wheels of slightly different circumference would look better if ride was lowered a bit more.
