Default Combustion Contraption

Steve, You and I need to talk immediately. I have left you PMs here, voice, and text messages.

I feel that I have no choice but to make this a public issue.

I am giving you a chance to make things right before I pursue this further.

I look forward to a cordial resolution to this matter.

Lunch Bump. I hate seeing stuff like this, we have problems with theives to begin with, last thing we need is someone in our own community stealing from us.

He did my head and told me he was finished after that, about 6 months ago?. Moving on and no longer offering services.

Seems he "bad mouthed" others to get business, then did the same thing. Hope you atleast get some parts back, and the head you sent, done or un-done.

I've been around a long time and never saw Steve bad mouth anyone to get business. His customer service was second to none as was the quality of his work which is why I used him and was completely satisfied. It sounds like things have changed for one reason or another, hopefully things will get sorted out without others adding to the drama by stating their opinions rather than facts.

Yup. He's getting married and is focusing on more important things in his life. Can't blame him at all

This is not an accusation in any way at this point. It is simply an attempt to communicate. If the issue between Steve and I escalates, then I will give more details on this situation. Steve, in the past has always been proffesional and accomodating with me. I personally feel that this is just a breakdown in our communication that CAN be fixed.

Just sayin man...he never gets on here anymore, and maybe he got a new #? Making a thread on this forum I doubt will get his attention since he's never on anymore.

the engine business sucks. its challenging enough to break into an arena where you are broke and your competitors have over a million in paid off equipment. making payments on the machines, the shop, the insurance policies.. and then someone doesnt put oil in their new motor and trashes you for it. leaving with your reputation intact is tough.

lets do everyone a favor and stop speculating about what happened between these two gentlemen, respect their privacy. no one needs to know what you guess might have happened.

Steve has contacted me through PM. I appreciate that. I will post up when things are cleared up. I have stated before that Steve has been proffesional and accomodating in the past and that has appeared to remain the same so far! No reason to assume that this has been anything more than a communication error at this point.
