First time post here. Usually I am pretty laid back guy but this dude in Fresno did me completely wrong. Guys name is Chris. Basically what happend is he is a car broker and goes to auctions and buys the type car you want for you. Sounds nice so far. He does all your leg work when it comes to installs and such concerning paint, body kits, stereo stuff etc. He adds 10% to the bought at auction price and that is it for his profit. Pretty reasonable when you think about it. Here is the kicker though. He lies about the prices of whatever you have him get done for you. Not to mention feed you pity lies about your car if something happens to it while its in his care. For instance I let this guy get me a killer deal suppossedly for a great paint job. First and foremost...Great paint job it aint. Second of all we had my rims on the car already to see how they looked when he took it to the paint shop. Two days later I get a call saying that one of the rims had been stollen. Being in Fresno you expect petty stuff like this to happen. No problem I figure I can add a few bucks to the cause to expedite getting a new rim. No dice though. When I go to get the tires on the car he bolts in to the tire shop drops them off behind my back and bolts out. The guys at the shop ask me if I want my fifth rim. WTH...! I only had four rims...Nope my fifth rim wasnt stollen. He rammed my car into something when it was in his care so hard that it literally had a part broken the shape of a peice of pie off of my rim. Now one thing is exactly one thing. But no there is a bit more. Ole boy hooked me up with a stereo and claimed he put in a 500 dollar panasonic deck. Nope its two levels down from the 500 dollar one. More like 350. Wheres my money? Oppps not done yet. We still have the tires I paid for with the rims. Supposedly I was to get these tires from a guy he knows that owns a tire store for the killer price of $286 installed. Not to bad. Well that is a no go boys and girls. When I tried to get the rims and tires done well I couldn't get hold of him first and foremost and then when I finally did well hence the reason he was in and out the store I picked out. He didnt have my money for the tires. Good thing I had my American Express Card. Any how this is my heads up to yall in the Central Valley Area. Dude claims he is into the 2F2F sort of thing but he is only in for your money. Guys like this sort of make you feel a little EXTREME but eh like I said. Laid back sort of guy and can get over things pretty easy. Besides if you are in the Fresno Area...I dont think you are going to this guy now. My damage to him has been done.
