As most of you know, I had Gary Goers fabricate a
new leather interior for my '65 Crown convertible. Before I could even get
the leather back on the seats, they turned several God awful shades of gold
(they were supposed to be a soft metallic gold). Although he promised
to make up a batch of dye for me, he never came through with the it to
correct the problem so I asked this forum for advice. It was suggested I
contact Leatherique. They did what Goers never could seem to find the time
to do and $200+ later, I had a kit to prep the leather, the dye to correct the
two toned-look and the glaze to make the whole thing metallic. Goers
promised to reimburse me for my expenses with Leatherique but so far, after many
emails and no replies, I have no reimbursement! He also promised to
provide me new pads for my brake and accelerator pedals. Guess what?
I have no new pads either! But the real mud in my face is the fact he
refuses to even acknowledge my calls or emails. This has been going on
since the first of the year!
All I can say is I wish I had never heard of the
man. It has been nothing but problems dealing with him and his rudeness in
not replying to my calls or emails is unconscionable! For any of you
contemplating buying anything from him, my advice to you is to try and find it
elsewhere. I have no kind words for him whatsoever. To date I have
spent over $3,300 with him so my orders haven't been 'little ones' as someone on
the list informed me was the problem. I was told he responds to larger
orders more quickly. What about correcting a problem? Does this man
have no conscience? To treat anyone the way he has treated me is
shameful. I never wanted anything from him but the dye to correct the
problem and he couldn't (wouldn't) even provide that. I can only imagine
what the labor will be to apply the products I received from Leatherique.
Those 'bargain priced' $2,500 leather seat covers that took 17 months to
get with not one single phone call or email from him in that entire period are
going to end up costing over three grand when it is all said and done! But
the kicker was, I offered to send him a deposit for the seat covers and
asked him to sign my letter of agreement and return it to me acknowledging
my $500 deposit check. He cashed my check within a few days but
I never received my letter of agreement signed. I may never have received
my new covers had I not threatened to involve an attorney (after 17
months). This 'business' is a joke!
