To begin with, I will start by saying that 1 star as a rating is way too high. If I could give less, I absolutely would!!!
At the beginning of Covid, I took my GoPed in for some minor repairs. I gave it to the owner-Tim, who said, it would be "a while" because he had to get rid of his mechanic, who was stealing from him and had a bad drug problem. I was in no rush and was trying to be understanding of the situation, considering this business would be considered a small business. Nonetheless, after 3-4 months, I never heard anything back. I went to the business and it was closed, even though the business hours sign said that it opened at 12:00(noon). However, a female employee saw me and came outside. I explained who I was and my situation. She informed me that the owner wasn't there and repeated the story about the fired mechanic who had a drug problem. This employee did take my name and phone number and told me she would look into my situation and call me back. She never called and approximately three more months went by. I returned to the business and had a similar experience as before with the same female employee. Again, the business was suppose to be open and it wasn't. Tim, the owner wasn't there and again, my name/number was taken with the assurance that I would be contacted. Guess what?? I wasn't contacted. Approximately, 11 weeks ago, I went by and the business was actually open and I made contact with Tim. He said that he had sold my GoPed and claimed that they had called me numerous times and left numerous messages. I knew this to be not true as I work in an occupation that my phone is used for work/on call purposes and I've had the same number for over 10 years. I verified that Tim had the correct number, which he allegedly did. After some arguing and being told several times about the doper mechanic and now the fired female, Tim reluctantly agreed to build something for me, charging just for the parts. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I hoped that Tim would be a man of his word and do what he says he would, but, somehow I suspected that I was gonna be screwed on this. The next week, I went back to the business and spoke with Tim. Again, I got the song and dance about the fired mechanic and female employee. He had done absolutely nothing towards the replacement of my GoPed but claimed he would. I told him I would return in 2 weeks to see where we were on this. In the meantime, since I use a work phone-I had my secretary contact the phone company we use and order an audit to determine if there ever was a call from the business. Records revealed there wasn't ever a call from the business. When I returned 2 weeks later, nothing had been done by Tim and I again had to hear about the problem employees. This time he again claimed that they had called me/left messages, which allegedly, led up to him selling my GoPed. I told him that his information was untrue and what I had done with my work phone/audit. Tim brushed that info aside and again threw out that he would build a replacement. I told him I'd return in 2 weeks to check status. Until today, I've returned at least once a week, during what is claimed to be open business hours and the business is closed. In fact, during the last 2 weeks, I've returned 2-3 times during business hours only to find the business closed. I've also called and left messages on several occasions only to have no calls returned.
I'm done as this has gone on for over a year now in total. Despite my numerous attempts to get my item or some sort of satisfaction, Tim has proven to be NOT a man of his word. I find it interesting that during my actual contacts with him, he usually claims, between numerous F-Bombs coming out of his mouth, how much of a Christian he is. If true, he certainly knows about the 10 Commandments, especially the ones about not bearing false witness and the stealing of another's property. I'm always leery when someone throws around the Christian title but their works show something all together different(leery but not judgmental). And with such people, I think of the verses Matthew 7:21-23. In essence, those that practice lawlessness will be told to depart from me(Jesus) for I never knew you! Tread lightly here Tim.
In closing, I found and proved Tim to be a thief, a liar, a man with a very foul mouth and one who practices very unlawful business. I gave this business/Tim every opportunity to do the right thing and make this right but his character won't allow it! Congrats Tim...you screwed me out of my property and you likely feel good about that. However, God knows your deeds and knows your heart! He will not be fooled!!
