OK here we go again on the It is unfortunate that problems sometimes arise
in any business, but they do. However what would we do if the Gary Goers of
this world, quirky and eccentric as they may sometimes be, decided to just say “To
heck with it, I don’t need the hassles” and hung up the gloves. That
would be a true loss to the hobby especially those of us with our wonderful
orphan cars. Have you looked in Steeles catalogue for Imperial
parts? Nada, not one, zippo.
Why? No money in it. I too have questioned Just an opinion, brought to you by: Ernie and the Black Bitc_. -----Original Message----- 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! Greg McDonnell Mobile, AL |
