Default Beware: Thecheat cheated me.

Can't speak of how he is with his local customers , but I have been waiting for a k04 turbo since January and i have been more than enough patient waiting and putting up with lame excuses. I have left countless emails, text messages, voicemails and still no turbo hardware to my door step.

He even faked like he sent out a package to me a few week back and then somehow UPS misteriously lost or damaged the package.

So this is just a warning to others. if he has a part that you just need......Get it somewhere else. if yo ucant find it somewhere else and still need it from him... let him ship it first then you pay or else you'll end up like me.

2x Said he got me ecu for my vr6 jetta and wanted me to paypal him $70 for it. Said no and that he needed to send it first(since i had been waiting on a turbo for 3 months at the time) He said he'd ship it out first thing the next morning. Never saw the ecu. glad i didnt payal him for that.


Seriously Anyone who deals with me know that i am a fairly nice guy. But you have taken my kindness for weakness I tried to keep this matter private with you Justin.but you wont respond to anything. so lets make everything transparent then. ef it. you won't return my phone calls because you go to so called "go to sleep at 8 ish or 9 ish but i find posts from you on here after 10pm and calling chelsea after 12. So this is were we are now. I dont care if it's 3 years from now The moment I see you and you dont pull out a k04 out of your back pocket. :edited: I ain't playing,This aint e-thugin either. And yes over a $200 turbo.
Your lucky you are over a days drive away.
if a turbo show up at my door step i will happily delete this post , but still how hard and how long does it take to ship the smallest turbo in the world.

i will not discuss business matters in public, please contact me through my EMAIL (which is probably the most reliable way at the current moment). i am not on the org always, usually it is not me who answers your questions on the keyboard, it is our scheduler. i provide the answer, they type.

i also do not pick up my phone during the hours of 8am-9pm as that is business hours and you have my personal number. business>personal.

that being said, please contact me through my email if you have any further questions, comments or concerns.

respectfully,

wtf? you owe me!!!!!! and i have to chase you down!!!!! Wow

This IS business!!!!!! I have tried to call you. at all times of the day/ night. every now and then you pick up and say you are busy.Ok i can respect that but then i never get a call back that night or the next day or the next. I called you the other day you said you call me back because you were working. Waited for the call........Nothing.... but you had time to call Chelsea about her Check engine light tatoo though. you know my number.... you know my address...... You know the deal..... What else is there to talk about besides "i sent out you stuff and here's the tracking number thank for doing business with rotors to motors"

I'm not going to call Justin a cheat, but i can definite say he is a cool guy when it comes as far as help over the phone, advice and stuff like that.

But recently, we have been talking about a deal on a 2005.5 Jetta 2.5 that showed up at his shop. He has told me countless great things about it and has perked my interest in it. Unfortunately, it has been about a week and i have not received any information on the car other than what we've verbally talked about. I've been asking for pictures of the car for a week now and I've got nothing yet . Instead i received a picture of the Jetta he owns's mileage.

But as the old saying goes "If something sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't."

I hate to say it... but I knew it was going to come to this.
Raymond is right though. He has asked for his turbo for a LONG time. This was supposed to be a very smooth and quick transaction, but has been drawn out since December or January...


Ray's end of the deal was fulfilled the morning after the whole trade was decided. we shipped out justin's part as requested at 8am the next morning.


Ray waited patiently for a few months but as anyone would when expecting a part for their car, or anything for that matter... He started asking for explanations, or at least some kind of hint as to whether he was going to be receiving anything from justin, but he kept getting excuses....


Now, its been about 6 months and still no turbo kit.
I know you work long hours justin, and owning your own business is hectic. Missing calls every once in a while is understandable, but for six months? Posts like this can't help business... I've seen a couple on here regarding the way you do business. most of them were good but i remember one bad one. lets not add another negative to the list.

You said yesterday that you didnt have the money to ship it out. thats why its not here yet... well just grab some time early friday morning; to give you time to get stuff together, and have your partner at work open up shop without you. you're the boss right? you can be a few minutes late if it keeps the reputation of your business up, right? swing by UPS and ship it, get with me and i'll pay the shipping. doesnt matter. just tell me how much and you'll have it.


sweep this under the mat, and it never happened. as long as you have happy customers.

thanks.

and thats just the first page. you can find the time to post and do all of legwork required to search through the threads .... but cant take the time to just answer the phone.

but I forgot that you are so busy. between 8am-9pm doing timing belts and other stuff. but obviously you are busy browsing the org.

and then you say its not you helping people out on here... really...... Am i really supposed to believe its your secretary telling people how to do motor swaps and diesel timing belts and what weight of oil to put in what motor. if "she" "he" or whatever can do that i sure he or she can take a box to ups. and if you guys are too busy for tha.... Guess what! they'll even come pick up the package from you.

just today i called you,left a voicemail, texted you,sent you a email,and posted on your facebook wall. (which is what i have been doing) there is no reason for me to not hear from you. But i will keep everyone posted on if you get back to me or not.

Ps. i see you responded promptly/immedialtly to this thread. could have called then instead of even posting.you call when trouble on a mk2 or mk3. You know my number, it hasnt changed. my email is rayleemck@yahoo.com
check your junkmail. make sure it isn't in there. check your facebook wall. I know you have facebook mobile. If i dotn hear back from it is so obvious that there is another reason.
