After finding an ad, and reccomendations, I contracted with Troy Ronk for an antique horse trailer restoration, and a mobile bar restoration horse trailer. He came to hthe house to offer an estimate, A detailed contract was signed, and he came to Indiana to pick up the trailer.
The estimates were within what would be expected. In the beginning, with the schematics and the plans made, it was evident he had good knowledge of what was to be expected, he also had pictures of previous trailers completed. In a little over a weeks time, he produced pictures of the trailer painted, it was not the color I wanted, so, they repainted it, ( so they say) again not the color i wanted, but I can't add any more money to this project, so I will add decals and spruce it up.
I have a Harley truck, a paint code was provided to match the stripe. Nothing close. Time continued to go by, Waiting on axels as he stated they needed to be replaced, waiting waiting, and finally something wasnt sitting right, so I started doing some digging, and I was so dissapointed as to what I found.
In retrospect I should have done more due diligence, but I didn't. This company " appeared" legitimate. Finally got a text, one axel was on and he would do the other one " tomorrow" then the trailer would be done, he just had to put in the front window. Tomorrow never seem to come so we decided to go get the trailer.
After some arguing we got the address, which was no where near the company address, and found his " landlord" who directed us to his work space, and there it was my trailer, that my grandmother had bought me 51 years ago, completely stripped, orange as a tangerine no new axels, no lights no nothing, they had sandblasted it to where the metal gave way, sand blasted chemlite ruining it, never fixed anything his contract said he would, and then stripped the trailer complete. not a light or a bolt.
When I called troy he really had nothing to say, cause he knew at this point the jig was up. Remember he stilll has another horse trailer of mine he said he had started on. I took the orange one home and demanded to come and get the other one, but he refused stating he would bring it back, which he did, with it falling apart, literally.
At this time i demanded my money back, which he has ever single reason why he has no money, never answers, and in general is ghosting me. Since this has hapened to me, I have found over a dozen others who has been frauded by this person, in to the 10's of thousands. He wanted me to know " he feels bad" I have no recourse but to go to court.
I now have thousands of more dollars to put out to fix what he ruined. I have no doubt he sleeps well at night. His last words to me when bringing back the second disaster horse trailer were, " I dunno my lifes pretty good". Do not use this man to fix a lightbulb, you will regret it.
