Well, I don't know what you plan to accomplish. I've got 10 years worth of satisfied people that can fully vouch for my business practices. We've had difficulties in this process, even to the extent that I've put aside some other commitments. I've strived to find mockup help, but was unsuccessful. I've not been evasive, I'm not running from this, changing my number, not posting, etc.
I've fully announced my intention to refund you, so why do you feel you'll be better served by going on other sites I do business, and bashing me, and stirring the situation. I still have active orders that are pending, and your going to send many people into a spiral of fear thinking that I'm some type of scammer here.
I'm just getting back on my feet here, I spent time in the hospital...I can scan medical bills for you if you like. The past three months have been very difficult for me, and it's not something I wanted to make known, but your clearly on a mission to destroy my business because we've had difficulty making these units.
I'd understand your motives if I were avoiding the situation, or evading contact, but that's not the case. I'm very actively attempting to catch back up with work, balance my bills, and get you refunded. What more do you want me to do? I'm here, I'm still going to go through with making these, and I understand your frustration. I assure you, if you drove your car into my shop, these would be made. I simply tried to prolong this process, in the hope that we could make definitive progress. I wasn't comfortable making units from pictures, and I'm not comfortable sending out items that don't reflect my ability and end quality.
I honestly believed that, since this were more of a prototypical process, that there would be some latitude. I could tell though, that the feeling here is rush, rush, rush. You were talking about going out of town and needing it, some were saying they were not driving their cars anywhere and leaving them in pieces pending the arrival of this unit, etc. I understand your concerns wanting to see a finished item, but you can't invest so much in one small piece.
It was my hope that, you drove your cars before these pieces, and you'd continue to drive them pending it's completion. Sure, I'd quoted timeframes in the beginning, and despite having learned this lesson in the past, I always try to think positive. I like to believe that things will go smoothly. The fact was though, there were obstacles. We lost the mockup car, the tight nature of the unit presented alot of challenge, but they all could've been overcome. The issue was, the door closed here. After three months payment, I was already being questioned as a scammer, or a con artist.
The point made above about taking one project at a time, it just isn't feasible. When you have overhead and bills to pay, you can't spend 3 weeks working on a prototype part or your bills go in the tank. Yes, I had to balance this with other things. Yes, I didn't hit timeframes I made assumptions about. Yes, I will refund those of you who want that. Will that happen quicker by going on every website you can, and make dedicated efforts to destroy my business, probably not.
I've never scammed anyone. I make right my wrongs, and I take responsibility for everthing I do. I've worked in public safety my entire life, first with the fire dept, then EMS for 8 years, then three police depts ending two years ago. I have done everything with honesty, but there are gonna be those people that feel wronged. There are going to be those that feel the need to trash a persons livelihood.
To address the post you thought was funny on Honda-Tech. I posted that because those people were blatantly rude, inconsiderate, and had no intention of solving my issue. I'm nothing like those people.
That's all I have to say, the hell with it.
