Travis engle/daytonayellaz call me!

[holmespine]

All I would like is what I've already paid for or simply my money back. I've been dealing with this for over a year and a half. I've retained an attorney in Indiana. If anyone would like their information I would be happy to assist with that. I paid travis over 22K and sent parts on top of that. Feel free to PM me. I knew I wasn't alone.

Anyone talk to him recently?

Now that I read this I feel a bit vindicated. No...I do not find joy in your problem. Not at all. But here is my story:

I have not been a fan of Travis for quite sometime. I bought an engine from him in November 2010. I immediately got a bad vibe and I tried to be patient. But he gave me the run around and sob stories EVERY TIME I managed to contact him. I was ready to fly to Indiana and gather some hometown friends for a visit to Travis...that's how mad I was. Some of you on this site received pm's from me at the time because you posted that you were going to buy from him. I feel like I got shafted with my transaction. Not only did it take months to receive it, and while the engine has been "good" so far, the transmission has been a problem. The engine was supposed to have 13k...I received it and it looked like hell...then he said it had 18k. I caught him in too many "fibs". Oil in it was BLACK. Was corroded terribly. Starter was so rusty it failed before I got car on the road. I could keep going. Engine looked like it had been in a flood. Perhaps his garage is in a pond? I dont know.


Personally, I think he sells more of these than he actually has on hand so instead of losing a sell, he takes your money and waits till he finds the engine combo you agreed on. Just my opinion.


I'm sorry you are getting the run around. As much as we pay for these engines...I dont think it is beyond reason to expect some communication. Regardless of what life is throwing at you.

I paid Travis 4,400 as a down payment on an engine in May of 2012. He has given me the run around ever since. Now his email and phone are down. I beginning to think he may just be a common thief!!

If any of you guys think you will ever see engines, parts, or your money back from Travis, you can forget it ! Travis was arrested for involvement in a car theft ring a while back. I too am a victim of his and actually spoke with a detective from Indiana who confirmed this. The only thing you can try to do per the detective is file a civil suit against Travis, but he did emphasize that you more than likely still will not be awarded anything. Here is another link from this site that kind of gives a little insight to this saga.

Sorry to any of you that have lost anything to Travis, but it's time to accept reality here. I had a tough time accepting the facts as well, since Travis came highly recommended either by word of mouth, or through various web sites. I guess somewhere down the line he either got involved with the wrong people, or just took a bad path. I am now going to go the safe route and purchase a crate engine from Chevrolet or a established online parts company. Good luck to you all.

Unfortunately, this is all true. My engine is going bye bye to my local police and I'm having to prove that I thought I was making a legitimate purchase. So, even though I typically don't trust long distance or internet sales, I trusted all the positive reviews, I trusted the guy due to the reviews and thought I was buying with confidence. My project is ruined, I'm feel like I'm being treated like a criminal, and I have to sell my car as a roller since I just cannot spend any more $$ on a new engine.

Wonderful.
