Exactly, that's always how it starts. Off comments like yours.

Lets keep it on topic. I have never had a problem with anything I had done by Dave. It would be terribly unfortunate if this were true. I certainly hope that it is not.

Off comments? You're trying to twist my words. I never said one shop was better than the other. I made that suggestion because UMW350Z said that he only trusted F:T with his car. It seems that F:T may no longer be in business, so I suggested another shop that he can trust.

+1

People grow up with having "shop nuts", somebody makes a SUGGESTION dont get all twisted and defensive about it. Dave is a good guy in the Mid-A community even if you dont go to his shop you prolly know that....

All,

To put rumors to rest. I will give a quick update and be VERY general as Im not sure what can and cannot be said due to legal issues.

Both Dave and I are fine. It's been a VERY rough couple months and I regret to inform everyone that F:T is no longer at that location. The company is still active and will remain "in business" to fight out some legal issues with customers who will remain unnamed (no one who is on these boards that I know of).

Unfortunately as we all know surviving as a small business in an economy like this is hard enough...to make it even harder...when customers can't pay their bills and/or charge back nearly ALL of their payments via CC dispute after taking delivery of their car SEVERELY hurts cash flow and makes paying the costs of overhead nearly impossible.

Yes, there are avenues for the seller to dispute and file liens for payment/title acquisition, etc, however that takes time and is a whole process that unfortunately doesn't pay the bills in the mean time while also paying legal fees. Both Dave and myself will be available to help those in our community still and when a new location is acquired you all will be the first to know and be invited to the opening party as this is the community who supported us from day one.

Dave and I both thank you all for all the support you have given over the years and I'm sure we'll be back.
