I am sorry, if I shipped you my 100K car in pristine condition. And you send it back fock up, I am not going to accept it. Sorry that is not part of the game, don't know what game you are playing. That is highly unacceptable. I mod all my cars and know the risk associated with it. If my car was fined before it was modded, then messed up after the modification. I expect the tuner to fix it before shipping it back.

 

Good point,


I just hope if and when something like this happens to you (god forbid) you institute this same method of thinking.

 

I do think this way all the time, that's why I have a much less stressful life than you do.

Just think about all the time and effort you are putting into talking about this and writing about this. Now you are talking about spending money on lawyers, etc.

Take a step back and look at the big picture. Move on and forget about this crap, it is a waste of your time, unless of course, your whole life is about a car and nothing else. I know that there are a lot of people on this forum who work and live for there car. Maybe you are one of those too.

 

Please show me where i said it happened at the mile? i said the damages happened while the car was in eurocharged's care which is the truth. I said its possible it happened at the mile. Its not unrealistic to think that a car being driven at 170+ MPH could cause some damages. The point is simple if you allowed me to use your car at a racing event to promote my company i would take good care of it and i would make damn sure i returned in the condition you sent it to me in. I would not send your car back to you broken filthy damaged and missing parts. Also with the car taped up like this how would you even know if the fogs were broken did you personally peel the tape off too?

You can spin these FACTS anyway you like.

 

A company that abuses and destroys a customers property is unacceptable to me.

 

Ive owned DSM's Supra's, Terminators, Z06's and more all moded and all built by shops in those communities. I have never had an experience like this before in my life.

 

It'll be ok. There are many things that i am sure are unacceptable to you but, unfortunately, you are not the King and cannot rule the world with an iron fist so you are just going to have to learn to accept them and move forward.

I know I may sound harsh but this is what we need to call reality and there is nothing that you can do about it other than accept it.

 

Doesn't mean this is acceptible and he should move on. People sue for far less nowadays.

 

How and where i spend my money is at the top of my list. As a car enthusiast i appreciate when people share their experiences with vendors so i know how to and how not to spend my hard earned money and i feel obligated to do the same. Maybe you have a money tree in your backyard and pissing away tens of thousands of dollars is meaningless to you but its not to me and many others.

 

Why should anyone accept substandard work or mishandling of their property?

 

I'm not saying to accept it but in life you have to figure out what's worth fighting for and what's not worth fighting for sometimes. How much time and energy are you going to spend on this. The poster is jaded right from the beginning and you can tell from reading his posts. I think he mentioned something like his car was destroyed, now destroyed is a strong word and I think he is far from that. He had the car detailed to fix the scratches so that is over with. Throw a fog light in it yourself and fix the seat and you are done.

Or......spend hours posting this on every forum and threaten to sue and if you actually do it's going to cost you a lot of money. Theres a point where you have to weigh all your options and he is at that point. How much time and energy do you want to put into going after someone when you can easily rectify everything yourself fairly quickly and inexpensively.

Now, I'm sure this has been going on a while now, what would you do? I say you move on and take it as a lesson learned and that's it. I don't really understand what everyone plans on coming away from with this. At some point the customer was obviously very happy with Jerry, he did give them permission to race his car and he is obviously proud of the results at the race because they are posted in his signature.

The bottom line is that it's a car and it has obviously had quite a bit of work done to it. The customer shipped it across the country and spent a lot of money modifying it. He is upset at some damage on the car and getting no resolution from the shop so go make yourself happy and get it fixed. Now take the car somewhere local for the repairs so that you don't have to worry about transports and the car taking months to get done.

I hope he gets everything taken care of but I'm afraid that it's a bill he will probably have to pay for himself.

I'm just calling it like I see it and telling you how I feel about it.

 

move on? Things are easier to say when the pain is not happened on you. Just for remedy, I'd expect $$ compensation, at least.

 

this thread is going in circles and headed nowhere...the op can post again when he has a resolution...thread closed
