Avoid this business at all costs, they are not honest here and will not do anything to resolve a complaint, even when faced with the possibility of legal action. The owner's son and his friend are very slick scamming con-artist types who are more than willing to mis-represent and unload tainted products onto unsuspecting consumers.
I will never do business with them again. This seemed like a reputable business to me, but it is not. Buying a horse or anything else from this place would be a big mistake.
I became the victim of an elaborate deception at KD Stable which was perpetrated by the owner's son and his friend Scott R. Hinkley. They drastically mis-advertised the condition of a Mazda 6 s in an ad posted to Craigslist, claiming it had a "perfect body" and "all it needs is an ECM, $100.00 from a junk yard" when in fact the whole engine needed to be replaced which would be a repair costing over $3,000. Furthermore, I was told (wrongly) that it had never been in accident, when in fact it is a salvaged vehicle that has been patched up with a homemade body repair to the front quarter panels. They also claimed that the ECM had died on the way home from the inspection station, but this also turned out to be false as there is a 100 mile difference between the odometer reading and the mileage stated on the inspection sticker. The battery had been deliberately removed to prevent testing the engine, and the story about the ECM failing was invented to hide the car's larger issues.
Now I am left with little money and no other option than to part out the car. I really feel like a sucker because I needed a car that I could drive, and was mislead into believing that I could drive this car after replacing the ECM.
When I contacted the business owner to report the problem and asked her to arrange a refund, I received 2 phone calls from Scott threatening to sue me for harassment, and an email from the owner demanding that I never contact her again or she would consider it harassment. Unbelievable! Doing business here is simply not worth the money or aggravation... stay away. read more
