Re: Truck and car shop ARGH!!!

In my opinion they have the worst customer service ever first off they put you on hold all the time and for a long time then when they do get to you they ask to call you back WTF? Parts took for ever to get here too and they are only in Southern Cali...

Yeah, and judging by the way it puts people in debt, I'd say not a very good one. Not for me.

BTW, my having a credit card or not having one is not your business anyway is it? How about keeping with the topic, especially for a "moderator".

Forget credit cards, have you ever heard of a debit card? Same thing as a checkbook, comes right out of your checking account. I find it ironic that you rant about them not having email, say they should join the 21st century...when you are still writing checks. Credit cards don't put people in debt; people put themselves in debt. You made it everybodys business as soon as you posted it. When you make a negative post about a vendor, don't assume everyone is going to agree with you. I am very much on topic here. If you had made the payment electronically, you would probably have your order by now.

Re: Truck and car shop ARGH!!!

Nothing at all wrong with credit cards. And if you do your homework you will find that credit cards are actually safer, in regards to theft / identity theft, than a debit card or checks. The greatest risk with a debit cards and Checks is the fact that you open your checking account to the world. Interesting article here: Credit vs. Debit

Just pay off the credit card every month, don't run a balance and don't use any credit cards that charge fees. It's all about discipline. You can actually make money off of them by earning points for other purchases. Many people though think credit cards are free money.... that boat will never leave port.

Not preaching here guys, just an old fart trying to help.

Re: Truck and car shop ARGH!!!

Yeah I've heard of debit cards, I have one. It has a $300 dollar limit, ever hear of that? Wouldn't work too well with a $1,200 dollar order would it?

This thread was not about credit cards so it's NOT the topic. If I choose not to use credit cards, it's certainly no business of yours and last time I checked, it's not a crime to write a check. If it was would they still have order forms in their catalog? Just a horrible company, that's the point of this thread.

I'm very glad I didn't make the payment electronically, I want nothing more to do with that lousy company and I hope they did lose my check. I'll be sending my next check to a respectable business.

I gave you a reason your order had not been processed. That IS relative and IS on topic, whether you think so or not.
Sounds like you have a plan now Bob, good luck! I suggest a board vendor like Classicheartbeat (Wes) or GMC Paul.
