RE: Gary Ball

[William Cole <wedge64@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Congrats,
I'm glad someone stepped up and defended my nephew because if I had done
it I wouldn't have been this nice.
Joey does great work and like I explained to another guy complaining
about his service, he waits after he gets a deposit from the person he's
doing business with for the check to clear his bank before he starts the
project. (Common sense eh?) Also good business practice.
Like Hammer said, Joey didn't even know what the dude on Moparts said
about him so he had no idea what was going on. Oh, and the guy that
complained on Moparts that wanted a Hemi hood scoop done for him,...he's
not getting it and it IS done sitting at Joeys shop. Seen it myself last
Wednesday. Joey is really pissed about the whole deal. He has plenty of
other people wanting things done and he won't loose any sleep over one
guy pissing and moaning about not getting his part fast enough.
So, anyone wanting quality work done and is willing to wait a little
longer for it, he can and will do it.
Don't forget, most of the stuff he makes is "hand" maid so it takes a
little longer to get it.
And as far as I'm concerned, someone owes Joey an apology.

Enough venting,
Bill C.
