I inquired to MX Revival about some Vapor Blasting and powdercoat work. He took on the Job, and said he'd be timely and accurate with my instructions.
Inquiry happened on Facebook Messenger Dec 2, 2016. I told him I would be happy to make a spreadsheet and organize everything in "per color" baggies.
On Dec 5th I asked if I could drop things by on a Saturday, knowing it was out of the normal operating hours of his business. Adam seemed very excited to take on more work, he stated that it would only take him 2 weeks to complete as soon as he started. He exclaimed that I would be receiving color samples to ensure he had chosen the correct colors by my description. We talked about some Ceramic Paint for the High temp items, I said I would purchase the paint if he was willing to do the work. He agreed that he would reduce the cost, since I provided the materials for the job.
2 weeks goes by, I have heard nothing from him in regards to anything, I think, "maybe he's just super busy". I give him another couple days. Finally I call to see if something has changed, nothing. It's like he's hiding from me.
Finally on Dec 29th he Inquires to me about the list of parts I made, he had lost the hard copy and wanted me to send him an electronic version to clarify things, so he could finish up the Job.
No word for a few days, and then I inquire(424pm) about meeting with him on Saturday Jan 1, to pick things up.(I live and work in Burlington, Iowa). Adam agrees, says he will be at the shop til 530pm. I show up about 510p, and he is inquiring to me about what parts are to be what color, and am I sure I want these to be powdered. While there I ask if he has any questions on the spreadsheet, he says,"It was a bit confusing but, I can figure things out". Then he shows me what he has done, He has some of the parts coated, but none of the parts are the labeled colors. Nothing was correct, he didn't even take the time to review the sheet, 2 weeks after the date that he gave me for completion(Dec. 22-23)
Jan 7th 2017, he inquires again as to what colors for what parts and the details on the job. He tells me about other customers and their work, and how he has been s****.>
Jan 11th, I inquire about the test shots for one of the colors, I still hadn't received anything. No examples, No Color palette, and no completed parts, except those that he just colored willy nilly.
Jan 14th, I contact him 10am inquiring as to any other questions he may have. I asked if there was any way he could speed things up, as I would love for this to be done. He responds telling me that he will be heading to the shop, If I wanted to pick up some parts. I did, I got there about 330p, we had scheduled to meet at 345. I slept in his driveway at 111 mill St Mitchellville, iowa until 530pm. He never showed up.
Jan 22, I inquire as to what happened, he says some wedding stuff. I plan for pickup sunday Jan 23. 3 hrs later he responds with, "Just got back to the shop, the only thing I have ready to go at the moment is the caliper, I'm getting ready to shoot the ceramic stuff soon. So I'm just cleaning everything and the space to do it in. I will probably have everything ready for pickup tomorrow afternoon."
Jan 24th, I inquire again. He says, "things are looking good now, just a few more coats and we'll be done."
Jan 29th, I inquire again, after just watching him compete in waterloo. He says I can come get a few, they are wrong, I make him redo some.I pay what he quoted me $350.He says he can come down Monday to deliver the rest. He exclaims after I left that everything is done, it just wasn't sitting out.
Feb 4, we plan to meet at the shop 330p he exclaims he had a late night watching supercross, just couldn't make it to the shop.
Feb 7th, he agreed to be here at 5 pm, he calls 630 pm and asks that I pay in cash. shows up in Ft Madison 9p with only my engine mount hardware. (15 of 40 parts)
Here it is Feb 23, I still can't get a time to get my stuff.
I called the sheriff, they get a lot of complaints regarding his poor business ethics.
