Lets keep this car related...window tinting, exhaust work, tire mounting etc. We all know how hard it is to find these types of places. Please list the name of the shop, what they do, where they are located (city/county) and any contact info you may have such as the person you dealt with.

Mark repaired this "stupid act" that I did a few months ago. You can't even tell that there was anything wrong. He's also done 3 other cars that my friend owns. I haven't had the chance yet, but I'm going to have my stock Z06 wheels stripped down and painted quicksilver and clearcoated. I'll post the results when I get around to doing this.

Electricial Work

Hi, I continue to have a problem finding anyone in or near Polk County that does Corvette electrical work, that is dash and engine bay wiring, gauges, interior lighting, and finding power leaks, anything that has 12 volts going to it. Got any ideas? Thanks.

Its great to have this new venue for the FL Corvette folks!

:thumbsup:

Well I guess the Mods need to lock this one up since you guys decided to HIJACK it from its intended purpose.....start another thread or take it to PM but don't hijack my thread to argue

The thread won't be locked, but your suggestion is noted. I do however, agree with Robert regarding the hijack.

Although I don't think it was intended as one, it develpoed as such.
Please take your dispute if there is one, to PM or e-mail.

This thread is for promoting businesses that have treated us (vette owners) well.

If there's a problem with a vendor, please post it in the Board of Inquiry. This is not the place.:NoNo:

I'll be moving your posts into the BOI thread regarding this matter to keep this on track.

Thanks guys:thumbsup:,

Gordon
 
either way you wanna do it is fine with me. In my experience we end up with people trashing people / vendors on an open forum only to find out later that there was alot left out of the story.


on a side not I suppose that vendor needs to be removed from teh thread for now until this matter is resolved

Every forum is different. As you can see (for now) there's already two (2) sides to this story and they both vary greatly.

Most posts related to this matter have been merged into this one http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14185
if anyone is interested.

The vendor stays. Caveat emptor!

Robert started a good thing here. Lets keep this section on topic.

Thanks:thumbsup:
 
Actually this entire thread needs to be moved to the BOI. That section was put in place for BOTH good and bad experiences with businesses and people. It would also help to create a separate thread about each business to make it easier for people to find that sort of topic matter.
 
Oh, and another point I need to make clear...

Sorry, but no one here OWNS a thread just because they started it. Just as when you engage in a verbal conversation among friends, you just cannot tell everyone that since you started talking first, everyone HAS to only talk about the topic you brought up originally. We do not try to structure conversations like that on this site.

And locking a thread will be a very rare occurrence here if I have any say in the matter.
