Anyone want to share some GOOD experiences that they've had with Geordi.
There's many instances we've read before where Jim came through on a project and it's only fair to hear from both sides.
If he worked on your CRD, were you happy with the results?
Surely an itemized list of work he's done would clear up many questions that would point to fair pricing.
If the total repair cost for Highiron CRD was over 7,000 dollars, then HighironCRd, itemize what all work he's done for you with costs.
He's been a member here for many moons, repairing many vehicles... we would hate to see this deal be the cause of him losing trust.
I agree with one of the previous posters, Geordi needs to quickly repay Highiron CRD.
Do it and get this behind you Jim.
I'm happy with the work he did for me, and all of the information that I have gathered from him in direct conversations, and posts on this forum over the past 4+ years of CRD ownership. I see both sides. Geordi had no malintent or attempt to defraud highironcrd. He was over extended on this deal. Geordi has said he will refund the money. No amount of posting or complaining or shaming is going to generate that money. He has given a plan to repay by selling his items. Small claims court is not going to generate the money, and will probably be a waste of highiron's time and more money. I'm pretty sure there will be no wage garnishment, but that's for a lawyer to counsel highiron on, which will cost yet more money. So the outcome of small claims court will be a judgement, but not money. Look into it. I get that highironcrd is pissed off, but did you really have the expectation that if something went wrong after driving the car to deliver it to you that your deposit would be refunded immediately? There probably should have been some agreement about the conditions of the deposit and that part of the deposit was non-refundable, not that it should apply in this case because the deal fell through due to damage, but if you did decided to turn down the car undamaged, what would have been the outcome? Geordi probably should have refunded the remainder of the deposit immediately, rather than I'm guessing that he used it for the body repairs plus travel expenses. But now that it is repaired, a sale, and a full refund of the deposit is probably closer than if he had taken another route to remedy. If it makes you feel better, get your judgement, but make sure you are informed before you go that path.
