well, being that you're willing to drive that far to Ballade...Tony Fuch at Mid Valley Auto is a good s2000 mechanic.

You have to be insanely stupid to maintain this opinion after reading this thread in its entirety. "Catch him on a good day" means falling for his lying bullshit.

i understand you went through a bad experience with them, as have I.

but having many good reviews is not bullshit either.

so, yes, they have many satisfied customers.

even though i've had a bad experience, i try not to be biased by thinking that every single customer that walks through their door is being lied to.

i'm very impressed by their 4.5 star yelp rating and the hundreds of reviews that they have.

did i personally catch him on a good day? i have. and on other occassions, i did not.

No offense man, but this is a completely and utterly foolish argument. If a person gets scammed and does not realize it, they will leave a positive review. If he does a favor for someone to build a reputation, they will post a positive review. The bottom line is that regardless of past performance, he is a scammer. You are only as good as your most recent transactions. That said, you deserve what you get if you go there based on your post. Stupidity is infinite.

there is no one arguing with you here.

a positive review is a positive review.

sure, he is only as good as his most recent transaction...well, he probably has more recent transactions after you that are positive. you are not the last customer to walk out of his shop.

as far as getting what you deserve, YOU deserve an ugly spoiler on your car since you accepted it.

don't take put your crabby negative attitude onto me because i'm not supporting you like a cheerleader.

i'm entitled to my own opinions and you need to accept that.

if you really have such resentment towards ballade, give them a call and vent your frustration on them.

i'm not ballade, and i'm not your cheerleader. so chill out.

based on the way you've attacked and insulted people in this thread, and the forceful nature of you shoving your beliefs down everybody's throat, and not allowing anyone to have an opinion that deviates from your own statements, I'm going to take a step back from your negative review and actually reserve some skepticism, so as to embrace the possibility that ballade has an explanation from their perspective.

you've lost quite a bit of credibility in my book. That is my entitled opinion that I know you're going to attack and discredit and insult...because, i guess that's just how you cope with things.

maybe he singled you out deliberately because you have such a negative attitude and cussed him out on the phone, and intentionally gave you crappy service.
