Wow man from the looks at them pictures there is no way that guy is a machinist. There are no tolerance. Non of the bolt holes look even or round for that matter.

My mechanical knowledge is limited at best and even I can tell that work is completely unusable and even I could of done better. I sent that link in a mass email to my family, friends, and shops that I know. If everyone keeps this going I don't see this guy having the opportunity to screw anyone else over. Good heads up.

I don't care f the customer was being irate, his dealing with the situation is childish at best. he's right up there with the hennessey thread years ago. I'm not sure what may have transpired with phone calls and what not, but HE did the poor workmanship, HE needs to get over it, and do it, no need to be the ultimate douche about it.

First, here's this;

bretbauer@hotmail.com


that's his personal email.

Second, I just got off the phone with my cousin who's a lawyer and she said that if you had work done whether it be on your car or your house or whatever, the person hired to do the work is responsible to meet a level of expected quality of work for the job they have been paid to do. If they have not done so, you have the right to sue them for all of the money you paid them plus damages. Seeing that you have pics of the shoddy job, I'd say sue his arrogant ass.

Small claims court, go for Judge Judy lmao.

I just sent a nice email to your buddy Brett.

Josh, I know Lloyd has been cool with you but he decided to outsource the job to Brett am I correct? IMO Lloyd should step up and make things right too. It's no different than a body shop subletting a wheel alignment to a mechanical shop and having them screw it up....in the customer's eyes it's still the body shop's issue, they own it.

Hmmmm....dude someone's head has to roll for this.

I didn't say much in the email, just said that his business practices are pathetic and that he needs to get some machining skill

I still think Denniss need to step up if douche nozzle Bret won't, the fact is somewhere down the line he decided to use Bret...they own the problem just as much as he does IMO. I still think my analogy of a body shop subletting an alignment applies.

Best of luck man, I hope it works out.
