So next week will be 1 year since I pulled my car from Scotty's shop, (KAHIKO CUSTOMS & RESTORATION, Scott Burnett, 106H Roxbury Industrial, Charles City, VA 23030) and I am still missing parts Scott has still never found in his shop....
Though Scott has admitted he owes me money, and I have asked him to send what he said he owed me, I have never seen a single penny. I paid Scott $29,600 and traded him my 3.0 running motor ($7,500 value?) for work- not an insignificant amount. I have copies of the checks, pictures of the motor, an invoice from Scott showing work I was charged for, etc. I have avoided posting a lot of the pictures of the condition in which I found my car when I picked it up after Scott had it for 61 months, but I can. Trust me, Kent has now got over 350 hours into getting the chassis ready for paint. I am aware of two other member who experienced similar trouble with Scott and pulled their cars from his shop as well. When I first began dealings with Scott he seemed to be a solid dude who had done some great work in the past. However after he injured his back, maybe 1.5 years into my build, it seemed like everything changed dramatically and he never got back to what he may have once been. I want to post about my experience so anyone searching for a shop in the near future can make an informed decision regarding their shop selection. How would you go about that? Where would you post that- specifically, what other car forums should I alert, if any? Looking for helpful suggestions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

I will likely post to the World, Pelican, Early S and finally Dorkiphus. I will pick about 20 photos that visually characterize the lack of quality of the work he did to my car to post with a brief summary of facts.
I also started a Yelp page for his business and will hopefully be able to add narrative to that to warn off others. All I can really say is I was always overly nice, professional and generous with Scott. He promised me a concours car, actually a almost concours car as that was what I wanted. Scott even told me that because of the all of the delays, I would get way more than I paid for. Well.....I got way more than I paid for all right. I got screwed by a guy I suspect, after seeing him in July of 2017, has a serious substance abuse problem who is likely barely getting by month to month, living in his shop in all likelihood. I treated him right and he screwed me royally. I hope he gets all that is coming to him. OK, sorry guys. I had to get that off my chest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
