Bottom line is I gave JPS more than a few chances to resolve all my issues quietly and positively. I always felt I should treat him the way I would want to be treated if I were in his shoes. It is a position I find myself in I my own business from time to time. I have always believed you get farther with honey than with vinegar. It was only when that strategy failed that I got angry. Finally when he chose to trash me to other JPS customers I decided to abandon my silence.
Others (some visit this site) have had similar experiences with JPS. I know I am not the only one.
He can and does build a fine car. And support may be fine too for some, especially those in California. But is has not been good for me and pales in comparison to what I have experienced elsewhere.
Does accurately reporting my experience mean I am trashing him? I only wish I had read something like this before I went forward. If I had decided to go forward I would have been better prepared for the result and had more realistic expectations of JPS.
I hope JPS comes to Carlisle and I will be happy to shake his hand and will be proud to be the owner of JPS Coupe #2 . . . so long as I get my issues resolved by then. (SOONER I HOPE!)
