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.

Hmm, Sirncay is in Clovis. Maybe he knows more about this guy. Sounds like a total a$$. So, are you still without retribution?

No retribution as of yet but I figure this post is a good start in keeping business from going his way.

Hey yo dude, I know how it feels to get scammed. Not as bad as you, but still sucks just the same to get scammed, whether it be for a buck or 50k. Hope that bastard gets what's comin to him.

Well guys no matter how much I would love to go break this guys legs or help somebody else in that cause its just not a possibility with my job at the moment. I am originally from Detroit and fully know what should be coming to this guy when it comes to basically messing with a guys car but I figure if the word is out on his antics then the lack of business will be well worth my loss.

Dude, scammers suck. I'll find out the address of the business and telephone # so people won't get caught off guard on that guy. Seriously there should be a scammer database on NICO or on the web somewhere.

I think you are completely on point with the scammers list 180fan. That way only one of us need make the mistake and no more than that. The whole thing has gotten underneath my skin pretty deeply but the simple fact of that matter is that he is going to get what is coming to him in one way shape or form. But while we are at it maybe we should have a list of guys in our local areas that are really good too. I have to say the guy at Western Muffler was really cool and didnt even charge me for labor after the bill started tallying up when he found my Cat was broke d**k. Just another thought to build off of yours a bit.

I appreciate the thoughts guys. Fact is this is all I needed to do to get my revenge. I know when I was looking to get my second 240 I was checking out all the websites around to see what was up on the scene and I am sure if this thread continues it will help somebody else out. That is the correct address as far as I know.

I think you're handling this with alot of class Schlink and hope noone else gets taken advantage of by this guy. You may want to make a complaint to the BBB as well. After so many complaints they launch investigations on the said business and yours may be the final one needed, you never know.

Hope you don't have any more surprises with your car man.

Yes, definitely file a complaint with the BBB and also get in touch with the local police department. They'll do a more thorough investigation of such activities than the BBB can and would put the heat on the guy who jerked you around.
