Steve, I've been reffered to a shop called Kennedy Auto Electric.

4855 Ruffner St # D
San Diego, CA 92111
(858) 565-6145

I've had a dozen or so shops/people tell me about them. Might be worth a call, see if they'll go up to BOS.

Hey Steve you could have flew me out to CA had me fix it up, kept me in a decent hotel, bought good meals and flew me back to Indiana and still been under $2000.
Heck I could have done it in a weekend (and I would have gotten in some touristy stuff too), after having been out of work for a month.
Man this guy is soaking you, and then some.

Steve - sent you a PM - Our door is always open if you need something done.

[BA.]

wow. what a horror story Steve. :(

he obviously doesn't have the skills to even be called an electician in the simplest sense. I'd think a small claims judge (if he tried that) would be able to see through his guise with the data you have.

Hope you get'er done in time for the show bud.

Sorry to hear about your troubles Steve. The possitive side of this is that you are still in control. You get to decide if he get's paid or not. I would have a hard time giving him the money but, if he did put in the time you may want to give him something. Only if some of his work is good.

I just got stuck holding the bag on my project. The guy tells me 3days of work to put in a passenger window, allign all other windows, vent wings and put weather stripping on the car. I get the call 2 weeks later that my car is done and they bill is for 48hours! Needless to say I was shocked but he had my car in his shop and I just want to get it done so I paid. Now I have to find someone else to allign the window he put in. Sorry to spill my problems in your thread but, I just didn't want you to think you were alone.

whoa steve..

i HOPE you dont pay homeboy..

[David Pozzi]

Steve,
He's the one who said he could do the job and obviously he can't. Don't pay him over $100, I wouldn't pay him anything. It's going to cost you more money to fix what he screwed up!

Steve, talk to this guy. He wires racecars. He just moved to El Cajon.

Oh, and I could have done that faster.

[rockdogz]

Steve, that sucks... and I agree with the others - don't pay for no work!

[Gonzostyle]

Maybe I am being a little harsh but personally I would not pay him anything AND I would ask for the $450 that was already paid. If systems worked before he got his hands on the car then all he did during that time was screw stuff up.
Think of it this way, would you pay some guy a bunch of money to key your car and let the air out of your tires??

40 plus hours pay for zero results? That is some crackhead logic there boy. Look at it this way. If you pay him, he will use your money to buy drugs. So, inadvertently, you will be supporting the illegal drug trade.

Sorry to hear about that Steve, its so hard to find good reliable work these days.


I agree and we would have charged half that...heres an idea, put a mat and food/water dishes out by the car and have Allen do it. It took him 12 hours to completely wire a 67. Think of him as the wire fairie.

[Steve Chryssos]

Why, does he have a thing for Matt?

And who is involved in the illegal drug trade? Terrorists!

You might as well send the money directly to Osama Bin Laden....

[baz67]

Wow, only here can we go from feeling sorry for Steve to having him support terrorism.

[BonzoHansen]

That's high performance.

I had a semi retired professional wiring guy with carpal tunnel problems in his hands install a complete painless kit in 30 hours including wiring all of my after market gauges, power seats etc. He charged me $30 per hour cause (as he put it Im only working at about 1/2 speed so the rate is 1/2). Everything worked and was professionally bundled, soldered, shrinkwrapped etc. No more $$ for that guy you have, thats ridiculous.

Damn, you got to the joke before I did.
