i became a victim of this shop in late april 2014.
while life had became hard and just as i was getting on stable ground,
i was one step from homeless and bought a silver tank 150 cc scooter from my friend...
while driving it to work the belt broke..
i bought a belt from james for $55.00 and installed it.
drove 2 miles and it broke again. i had no place to work on it so we talked to james at trinity. he agreed to pick scooter up for $20.00 and did so.
when i met him back at shop to discus repair cost he insisted i give him $80.00 up front and that to look at scooter would be $185.00
he also insisted that i had requested the electrical be fixed...took me off gaurd but i had no other isues and my scooter wass very clean and pretty. ran perfect, lights worked perfect, new looking seat...a nice scooter.
me and james spoke as to the time frame it would take for me to come up with the money and he said "ok man, im a man of god" but he knew i was homeless and trying to sell other things...
the next week i came in and gave him $20.00 towards the repair. checked in with him
he then complained that my scooter leaked oil on floor ....
wtf? my scooter did not leak....
i kept comunication open and checked back with james often.
i offered everything i can do as an exchange but was only told that i could go steal home depot stuff and get him cards...
im not a thief mr man of god...
a good 3 weeks passes and i sell my welder and go imediately to get my scooter..
what i found was disgusting
james had another tank 150 cc customer, sold him all my plastics, electrical, brakes, lights, tires, seat.....and what i thought was my scooter was this guys...
and james was like ... "ahhhh dont even worry about that stuff"..
my scooter was in the back and down to the frame...wtf?
james said i could put it together or he would have his guy do it and that was then 4 days more....i didnt say anything but opted to put it together. until i found all was xchanged and even my keyed cylinder was gone. i said id wait...
james said he was worried if id have the $150.00 still but i said i would.. about 2 minutes later he said "id feel better you paid me tonight.."
but i said id feel better paying when scooter was done...
next thing was this man of god cornering me in his store with fists balled up repeating "u dont wana go there patna"
i was calm about everything but he was wanting to fight...i had to say move please so i can leave about 10 times...i walk out the store...still calm.... then hear him on the phone to police....
since this day i have no scooter and no way to get it.
james flat out stole my scooter..sold my parts...then strong armed me...
