Fixing Broken Car Amps

How many of you are waiting on word from Mike?

Guys, I have no idea what is going on with Mike but, I will tell you all once again that he repaired my amp and had it back to me in less than a week and a half from the day I sent it out. He also called me to discuss the issue with the amp. The amp was a Orion 250G4 HCCA. Pretty simple fix but, the point is his service and rates were very good. I realize some of you are frustrated and angry & rightfully so. But, I seriously doubt he is out to screw so many people in such a public way. It sounds like he got behind on all the repairs either because parts weren't available or he took on too much work. Could even be a combination of both those reasons.

I could tell you a REAL horror story about an amp "repairman" in Louisiana sometime!

He seems like a reasonable guy, spoke with him a few times on the phone. Agreed, he doesnt seem like the type of guy who will deliberatley try to f*ck anyone but I do believe he's in over his head at this point...

BTW, frustrating the man by way of razing him here will not get anyone their amp back any quicker. I'm going to give him the benefit of a doubt (BUT I NEED TO AT LEAST HEAR BACK FROM YOU DUDE!! I lost ur number which is why you havent heard from me in months..)

I will continue to be patient because it is all that I can do at this point.. MIKEEEY... WTF DUDE???!!!!!!!!!

I havent given him any **** and he actually did a good job with communication and repairs on the amp untill here recently while i cant get ahold of him via Caraudio.com, Personal Email, Phone call, or Text Message....Maybe i need to send him a letter? lol

Been trying for 4 days, and i also sent the remaining balance of what was needed to send back the amp...so he got a paypal notification as well.

Not trying to stir the pot with Mike and get things started... just like to know what's the current status of equipment... I'm between a rock and a hard place (sent amp for a good buddy since I found Mike here) and anything I hear until I see it makes things a lotttt smoother since idw to buy him a new amp.

Well I am ready to start s hit with Mike! he has broken his word time and time and time and time... again. I have no reason to trust him, I have PMed, posted, emailed, text and called (left messages with shipping instructions) and he has not followed through.

Mike simply saying you have ordered one last part, and are working on it, and it will only take 2 more hours for the 1 millionth time is not going to work. Ship my f vcking amp out now! Clear enough?

I just talked to Mike on the phone. He agreed to send my amplifier out to Chris at dB-r on Monday and forward the Fedex tracking number to me Monday evening. I have agreed to send him the money for shipping when Chris verifies reciept of the complete amplifier.

How many of you are waiting on word from Mike?

I am. How would you like to be in my situation, I don't even know where mine IS. Supposedly shipped it out, rec'd it back, and shipped it out again. Still haven't received it. No response since March 28.

Mike has not called me with a tracking number. As of today I am considering this a case of being scammed and will be taking the steps to make it a formal issue for him. If there is anyone that wants to join im on my reports please PM me and I will forward all the information to you.

Count me in. He has had my amp since Sept. of last year. I keep getting the run around too, I lost count of how many times he said he just needed one part, or the parts would show up today, etc.

I am very glad I never sent my amp in. I have been following this thread off and on hoping he would be legit. It's pretty obvious you guys with missing amps need to get together and take care of this issue.

DB-r should do a group discount on all our amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well I spoke with Mike today, long short of the story is he is a decietful individual that is taking absolutely no responsibility for the amplifiers he has in his shop, or is should have. He reniged on the deal to ship the amp to dB-r and I would pay him back once Chris recieved it, as I don't have any reason to trust he would send the amp out if I sent him more money, proof of this is all the broken promises to date and others that have sent him money to ship and he still hasn't sent them their amps. He said he would give it back to John (johnjv29 on CACO) who is the guy I bought it from in the first place. I will have John send it to Chris.

for all of you who have sent him your amps, I will put it this way, I really doubt I will ever see my amp. And I have even less optimism about yours. You may want to get very serious about getting your amps back in whatever shape they are in. Or just deal with the fact that you may have just been another of the scammers pie.

Sent final payment on the 2nd of this month, still havent heard anything and i have been calling and texting multiple times everyday with no response.

Im in to do whatever it takes to get this stupid SOB to get things goin.....Couldnt somebody get cops involved? I mean several of us have proof with PMs and text messages, including an address...

 

[Delusnl 10+ year member]

Mike hasnt replied to any 24 of my text messages today, and has let all of my calls go to his voicemail untill he got sick of his phone blowing up and started pressing the ignore button and then turned it off.

Anyone know where this dude lives? Anyone been to his house? I know what I would do if I was one of you guys and knew where he lived. I hope something gets done about this
