BobG posted:Don't go off on me, I just asked a question based on your series of posts. I'm not suggesting you do anything and I don't have a horse in your little race. You decided to post, expect questions. By the way, if you lose it with someone who asks a simple question, you might be part of the problem.
Wouldn't want you to do anything "crazy".
No Bob, you are clearly in the wrong. This is CHAZLINK's thread to tee off on Vintage Motorcars, and you are standing in the path of a good rant.
After all, the transaxle (CHAZLINK provided) had a leak, and Greg didn't fix it (for free) to his liking. And the gas gauge doesn't work right either.
The paint deal seems like a legitimate issue. However:
Chazlink posted:And yes in the end Greg Leach offered to repair the paint discoloration only but after his unprofessional outburst and behavior and after I first posted something on here.
CHAZLINK posted this 4 hours after he "first posted something on here" with his first complaint. I'd say that's pretty prompt on the uptake. It shouldn't take a flaming on a website to get something fixed, but then again I'm not guessing CHAZLINK is that easy to deal with.
I think of what I got from a truly bad shop, and this seems kind've... well... resolved.
Reading back over the thread: CHAZLINK seemed to be looking for trouble before he ever hired Vintage Motorcars, and seems to have found what he as looking for.
It's odd, as I've heard nothing but good stuff about Vintage Motorcars. I don't know CHAZLINK, but I do know a couple of guys who have purchased from them before, and would (or will) again. Something is off here, and given the tone of "the airing of grievances", and his response to Bob G (a more reasonable man I've never met)-- it seems to possibly be the expectation of the buyer.
The customer isn't always right. I've fired a few customers over the years. Sometimes there's no possibility of success, and a great downside risk. I tell people all the time that "I'm not accepting new clients right now".
