paid your debt - Page 2

Guys, I have replied, and Adam was not a customer first, rather a friend first. Like I said, completely my fault on the HIDs, and I don't have stupid stories to go along with it. As for the wheels, I did make sure Adam understood that it takes a while for custom wheels to be ordered. Again, I don't have a problem paying Adam for the interior paint work he did in my house, and no money was involved, that I offered to pay him the money upfront and then once the wheels comes in, then he can then pay me back. We then would even, as that was the trade.

So, let me get it straight that the Adam that we are talking about is a friend that I dropped the ball on, on the HIDs that I got payment for. At my cost.

Flacco, just so you understand how I work. I try to be very fair on this forum. I've screwed up in the past, and I also know that we don't have 100% customer satisfaction. While other people have chimed in and said that they have numerous complaints about the shop, from whom, I don't know. But if there are ever anything negative here on TR or any where that I have power to edit, I leave and never change what the thread may have said. I may lock it once it got my attention, but I never delete to try and hide and unhappy stories anyone may have had with us.

and I still have no money. I call almost everyday...ASK JESSE and NOTHING happens. I'm so pissed off at this point and all I want is TO GET MY MONEY BACK. I just want resolution to this and move on. I'm far to busy to try to keep getting the runaround about this whole ordeal. Have someone contact me asap since this is going to be my last attempt to gain resolution without taking it to the next level. I know I have been more than patient through this whole time and I'm sure you guys can agree to this so please reply. Waiting for your reply. Thanks

I hope you get your money back, but my friend has the same situation with this shop. He will not face my friend. He owes my friend a set of wheels and a set of hi Def lights. Lights were paid for about 3 months ago, and they are still on "back order". Also, the wheels are on "back order". I know this thread will be locked, but be careful when you pre-pay this guy. You will lose it. He knows who I am and i don't care.

just the other day i see the same thing with Mr takarta and his thread got locked as well

I just wish kirk didnt try to trash talk when i made the thread. very inappropriate. i also will not be recommending anyone to DC. sorry, but i was coming back to get my full exhaust done but after what happened to lexusondubs and my other friend, i will not be going to DC anytime soon.

so i hope you guys get your problems fixed but i can see kirk just locking this thread in a matter of a few hours.

flaco good luck

Im still waiting for the leftover paint I was promised by Jr. 4 months ago, Every time I call I get the Same Runaround, and it spins me right round, baby right round,

Jr. Originally Quoted me about $200 less they what I ended up paying because he Kept saying that it was not a Tri coat, and oh wait Pear White IS a TRI COAT! So they tried to make it right by charging me the same as every other quote I got

Thanks for the Memories, even tho they weren’t so Great, DC

memole · 06-04-2007, 08:40 AM

Hey there guys...
Lexusondubs.... I offered to pay for a new fender the day u were in the shop when u wanted your front fenders rolled. I had the extra cash that day to get the fender. You had responded with that u didn't think I should have to pay for it. I called the lexus dealership and was ready to pick it up. Its a little more than 185 for the fender. At least my cost on them... U left and I didn't think u wanted me to get the fender but worked on doing some other paint work..I remeber something about painted the moldings and was going to take care of the fender at that point. 1 month ago I heard that u wanted that fender afterall. I WILL be buying that fender as soon as I have the extra cash to get it. The fender is ordered just have to pay for it. No shop will cover any damage to a rolled fender...at least I have never heard of any shop doing that. I am buying this fender personally, not going through the shop. Please bear with me as I am still getting the fender for u. I have other bills that need taken care of first, and again about club lexus posting on not recommending the shop for work... On TR u stated it is only 185 for the fender...on Club lexus you stated that we did over 800 dollars worth of damage to your fenderS.... We only rolled one fender..pass front...I stopped at that point becuase I didn't want to cuase any more damage to the other fenders becuase of the double lip. Again I will be purchasing your fender... Just need another 3 weeks to get the cash. Please PM me your cell number and I can call u when I get it. I have NEVER went back on my word... Its just that day it all went down and I offered to get the fender u declined. Then about 1 month ago ian told me that you wanted the fender after all, so I ordered it I just need the cash to pay for it. I hope that clears that issue up. I will post here when I have the fender and give it to u. Thanks again
Just me
Chris

I have been telling you the whole time that chris WILL be getting you another fender even though he SHOULDN'T, find another shop who would replace your parts due to damaging during fender rolling! If you wanted to speak to us so bad you know our # too, as WE are doing YOU a favor at this point. You had the chance to get a fender right then and there and you declined, then all of the sudden change your mind and we are the bad guys? C'mon dude be real here.

Nobody here knows what you are talking about. I will ask JR about this leftover paint you are mentioning.

It's funny how people wait to get home on the computer to run their mouths, but in person everything seems so damn cool!

SpottedMango · 06-04-2007, 09:56 AM

Flaco actually don't need any luck, because he's not involved in anyway at all.

As for threads getting locked or deleted, try to get the facts straight. I won't speak for Kirk, but I will say that I have NEVER locked a thread, deleted, or changed the contents of a thread because it has negativity about me or Driven Concepts. If a thread got locked by me, it's because it got my attention and I took care off it. But at the same time, you will see the thread's content to remain the same and that I don't hide or delete threads.

The difference between this forum and other forums is that we do not 'police' our threads. Things gets deleted when there are no relation between what's been posted and what the thread's topic's about. But, if there's anything negative about us, we don't delete the threads and hide what may have happened.

What I can't understand is that people know a TON of people that have had bad experience with us, but then how is it that we don't hear about it. For example Redfoxx has chimed in about his extra paint. There are a couple of things, Driven Concepts do not give out left over paint and if it didn't come through me, there's no way Junior can authorize it. The biggest problem of all is that I have NEVER personally been asked or told that there was even an issue. As to my knowledge Redfoxx left the shop completely happy with the job we did. In fact the last conversation we had was whether we can dump his old trunk lid for him.

In any event, you guys can stop with the deleting and or locking of threads, I will say again, we are by far the fairest when it comes to locking and or deleting of threads.

SpottedMango · 06-04-2007, 10:07 AM

How did it go from $800 worth of damage to the fender only costing less then $200? This whole deal has been messed up from the beginning. I was actually out of the office for the first part of the morning when you showed up. As we do for ALL our customers that are interested in getting the fenders rolled, you HAVE to sign a statement stating that we are not responsible for any damages that might be caused through the fender roller. Chris made the promise because of the person that he is. He knew that the business is covered by the statement you signed, but he also understood that you knew me personally and also a potential great customer. So he offered you the fender, in which you declined. Now, either Chris and or Driven Concepts is being talked down when you declined the offer for the free fender. We do not live on the forums and we do have our normal business hours. For any complaints, please do not come on a public board and state half of the truth. Give us a call and you will understand that we do not live on the forums, but are completely willing to do what we can to make a customer happy. I have also read the thread that Kirk locked, yes, he did lock it, but he also left the original content be, but added the fact on what's happening.

One more thing that I need to add. Before rolling the front fender, Chris expressed to me and the customer that he does not feel comfortable rolling the front fenders, due to the double lip, but the customer insisted for it to be done. These are facts that are important for people reading to know and understand.
