Guys, I need some assistance obtaining some parts I purchased. A member of the board posted parts for sale here. After working out some details, a money order was mailed to him.....Now, the seller has been avoiding me. I have used a few different methods of contact, and have had no luck ...... His shop is: G-Machines Inc. ---- Greg(ory) W. Lawson 816 11th Ave W Bradenton, FL 34205 (near Tampa) 941 565 - 3838 He has been in his new shop for about 5 months now. I would greatly appreciate any assistance a member could offer. As I just want what I paid for !! It's shocking this is going on. The few times we talked, he was real nice over the phone and stated he attended the Buick Nationals for many years???? I will work with anyone who would stop by his shop and pickup my parts.................or at least find out what might be going on here !!! (I would really like to get my parts out of his hands.) After contacting Jim Weise about the transaction which occurred on his board, his next step was to ask for some help from some members of the Buick Community. Thanks in advance, Jeff
One number "Does not wish to receive calls at this time" His cell rolls to voice mail after 4 rings.......... Even from the multiple numbers I used. Jim Weise had the same outcome as well..... Jeff
Try this number G Machines Inc. Phone: 941-747-7007 2118 9TH St W Bradenton, FL. Distance: 0.6 mi. Categories: Auto Maintenance & Repair Services ...
I know him and have dealt with him several times...never had a problem....I have his other cell number and will call him tomorrow. I am surprised this happened.......:shock:
George, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!! One of the Houston Buick Club members said you would know him.... Jeff
I called both of his personal numbers I have and both are disconnected......so let Rob swing by his shop and see what is happening.
Gary, I am waiting on doc to stop by there... We will keep you posted... Thanks for your concern. Jeff
Well..I dunno if this helps or makes things worse....Greg bought a posi unit from me 10+ years ago...I delived it to him for free...it took NUMEROUS phone calls FOR MANY MONTHS to him, his Mom, and well after 2 years, he finally paid me in small increments. I have not dealt with Greg since. Too bad. Ya really hope people change. Apparently not. o No: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
HEY DOC? or GARY? did either/both of you ever get by Gregs place??? I dont mind helping out a friend in need, but if you are THAT CLOSE...(I am about an hour north) please let me know what you've found out before I make that call. Perhaps a few of us could converge on this guy all at the same time....ya know...a POWER PLAY type of thing... :Brow: Wheelz, Tampa bay
Im an hour south. I dont know, the converging power play, getting back my stuff, thing I get an OJ simpson feeling. LOL. If hes got your stuff just call the cops, or call his mom. or post an ad where he will see it for some unbelievable local deal that he cant pass up, then when he shows up to get the item tell him you want your stuff back.
um,...Gary? I uh, I've read your reply a few times and I uh....I , I uh,...you must watch TOO MANY cop shows, or I kinda think you missed the point...? Jeff, the buyer of the parts, lives in Texas, I dont really think he's gona make the jaunt here to Florida, setup a sting operation in hopes GREG will just show up...? :spank: ?? What Jeff needs is some help from US, who live nearby, and whom would be willing to just "drop in" to GREGS place and bust-a-few knuckles all about his face :af: ...in all actuality, Jeff either gets his money back or get his parts. Anyway, wrong or right, thats my take on this whole scenario and I'm stickin to it. :bla: :laugh: :beer SO JEFF..what parts did you buy that you havent seen yet? I needta know if my Dodge Ram 2500 will suffice or I need to bring my trailer? Wheelz, Tampa Bay
theres two sides to every story. Showing up at the guys place and busting knuckles will not look good in court. Just call his mom and find out whats up or serve him with a small claims action. When you go to his place and the guy shoots you with a shotgun and claims self defense because he was afraid for his life and gets off scot free, you may have some regrets. ...
Gary gary GARY... c'mon dood, dont take me serious, I'm not a knuckle-buster by any means. I KNOW that never resolves much in the end. If you read my previous post, I DID say a few of us could show up at the same time, you get the idea..., POWER IN NUMBERS. The man is less likely to put up any resistance if two or three can show up at his place and get to the bottom of this all for a fello who lives way outa town and is asking for our help. :TU: and HELP is all I can offer. Wheelz, Tampa Bay
All one of you has to do is stop by and ask him what the story is.. No need for threats, a posse, or intimidation. For all anyone knows the guy is in traction at the hospital.. I doubt it, but you never know.. things do happen. It may just be as easy as driving over there with a pickup truck, and picking up the parts.. I know there was a hood, and some other pieces.. JW
I spoke with Greg earlier today. He assured me he would call Jeff and give an update. Jeff is aware of the current status. Thanks All
