Porsche Engines & Services unrendered
The purpose of this original posting was achieved. As a General Rule, It takes years to develop trust and credibility, but it only takes 5 minutes to loose it all.
Porsches are great cars. Mines are in my garage with No Engines and Transmissions. Rather then turning this into a circus. Ive edited by original ad. Peace to all. Ive been promised for the 100th time that my engine will completed. Lets hope for the best. - Herman. Last edited by hermanb1; 08-08-2008 at 02:52 PM.. |

Will this "beware of Jimmy" and "Jimmy is great" battle ever end?
Cheers

I've always had suspicions of mobile type mechanics... It's unfair competition to the local LEGITIMATE repair shops. I haven't said anything as the battle has continued for and against this guy... But the initial post above is nothing short of ridiculous.
He's my friend - a real nice guy and does great work, but I don't trust him, and neither should you??? When I had an aircraft repair shop, we always used to run these guys off the airport. To me, it's not fair that these guys can come in and play on the same field, but not by the same rules... Little things like liability/fire/theft insurance, workman's compensation insurance, business license, county sales tax, county business tax, income taxes (state & fed), hazardous waste generator permit, etc... Need I continue?

Now in 993 land ...

Guy is 15k in the hole and you lend him another $275 last month?
 Nobody here needs a mobile mechanic - anything a guy can do out of a van can be done at home with the help from this board. Aside from the suspension shop and the smog guy, my cars have never seen a mechanic. I even bring the wheels to the tire store - no car.  George |

Man o Man. Didn't we go down this road 6+ months ago with Jimmy? Good luck on getting your engines/tranny and money back.....I really hope the best comes from this. I have enemies that do less to me and I would never call them friends. Why in the world would you lend him MORE money????
Fool me once... Fool me twice... Fool me a third time????

Sorry, but I don't get what the seizing of his website is going to do.
If he wanted to, he could just build another website, register it, and start over.

Anytime a business owner asks you for gas money, it's time to stop talking to that person. It's a sign that they have made some seriously bad choices. |
