Exclamation Ripped Off by >>>ABSOLUTE MOTORING & Tomas Prado<<<

Hello members,

I know this is not a very nice first post but this is how it came down to. I am a proud owner of a collection of cars... I own a 997 S and a Cooper JCW S and a H2 ... some more few cars and bikes here and there also .

I would like to say first that it really annoys me that this issue comes down to this. I have purchased items before from Tomas Prado with no issues at all, but a couple of months ago I bought a set of wheels and sent them to Absolute Motoring to get them painted and mount new tires and in the process I purchased a wheel and lowering springs for another car. Money was sent and all is good, mind you I am not local to Absolute Motoring, but the last update on the situation I get from Tomas Prado was more than a month ago and stating that the wheels and items will ship in a weeks time.

I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt and waited. A week then two then three weeks passed as I called and e-mailed constantly, but there was no reply what so ever. It's like the guy vanished. I know Tomas or someone from Absolute Motoring has been active on this forum and was hoping that they see this and rectify this problem, otherwise, I say take a note and don't fall in my place and deal with this guy or get ripped off by the company like what happened to me.

Again, sorry to have this as my first post and hope that no one gets in this situation, ever.

Tomas, if you are reading this, then I hope you step up and answer my calls or e-mails at the very least.

regards,

Jay
