Jay - Turbomotion

[HOTSIX]

Jay - Turbomotion UPDATE !!!

Anyone having a hard time getting a hold of Jay ? I tried his number but no luck. I get a message that says "The customer you are calling is unavailable".

I have to see when he is shipping my V2 out.....

Anyone talk to him lately ?

 

[HOTSIX]

Guys - getting worried here.

I tried Jay 3 times yesterday and twice today. Each time I get the same message from Verizon Wireless.

"The customer you are trying to reach is temporarily not accepting calls"

I hope he hasn't shut down and forgot about me.....

Anyone have an alternate number for him ????

I have 941-228-3136 only.

 

[FJM568]

Just keep trying...I know a while back he was having health problems, so he wasn't able to get things done right away...

His phone just may have been off or something...Good luck and I hope you reach him...

 

[85t-type]

I spoke with him sometime last week, about my V2, He said that it shouldn't be much longer.

 

[HOTSIX]

I tried the number again today - and have tried it several times each day since my first attempt - almost a week now.

Still no luck. Does anyone know his last name or any other info ? Maybe I can look him up and try him at home.....

 

[Zacks 85GN]

Tried today, no luck, same voice says he is not accepting calls. Hope he is not sick again.

 

[HOTSIX]

I still have NO luck getting Jay.

Does anyone know his last name ?

I'll try to look up his home number....

Thanks for the reply Turbo6X2.

Myself and others are paid in full with Jay and have been for quite some time. I am getting concerned about Jay, Turbomotion and my kit.

I AM NOT making any accusations or slanderous comments here but the facts are simple.

1. I (as well as others) paid in full in Feb 2002 for a V2 kit.

2. I have spoken to Jay on several occasions - both prior to and after him being hospitalized.

3. I was last told that there was on a bit more to complete on my kit before it was shipped out.

4. The last contact I had with Jay is almost over a month now and it was in the form of a phone message on my machine asking for an address confirmaton for my kit.
If anyone has his home number - please help. If anyone has had contact with him after me or knows his status please help.

Thanks

Jay

Tried again today got the same message.

 

[HOTSIX]

Guys...I have tried him each day (sometimes twice) and I keep getting the Verizon Wireless message that the caller is currently not accepting calls.

I even went the distance to call Verizon and ask if the number is still in service - they say yes but thats all they can tell ya.

Someone live near him or at least close ?

I know me and others are paid in full and waiting for their product. Whats the deal with Jay ????????

 

[HOTSIX]

Turbo6X2 - where did you get that address ? Is that his home or shop ?

 

[Two Lane]

Does the CIA have a Special Unit just to track Buick vendors?

 

[turbo6x2]

It is the address he gave me to send the intake too. I believe this is the shop.

 

[Zacks 85GN]

Yes that is his shop address. I bought the second V2 kit that Jay made in December 2000, yes 2000. He had the recall to move the TB to the inlet of the intake so I sent mine back. He finished it and we decided to keep it at his shop as Dave at S&S said he was almost through with my short block. Dave's shop is just around the corner from Jay's shop. Well we all know about S&S and finally got my short block in Jan. 2002. When I picked up my short block is when Jay was sick and in the hospital and I couldn't get in touch with him. At some time Jay had a fire in his shop and he told me that my intake was warped and he had to build me another one. When I last talked to Jay about a month ago he told me it would be ready in two weeks, after that the phone had been blocked. I told him if he could not get me the intake in that time I wanted my money back. I have been paid in full as of December 2000 and paid for the recall as well. All I have to show for my money is an intercooler in the box. By the way this was a Christmas present for my son in 2000. My short block is assembled on the stand waiting for my intake. I promised my son that we would run at Bristol this year, guy's it don't look good.

I would just like to know what is going on, if Jay is sick I can deal with that.

Guys, Jay called me a couple of days ago just to touch base. My '85 GN is still in Fl(summer 0f 2000). Jay has been a friend to me through my own long disgusting journey with with someone else in Sarasota, a journey that will soon be over. Jay told me someone broke into his shop and stole about $22,000 worth of stuff a few days before. I could hear his anger and dismay through the phone as he discribed what all was taken and the police and... I hadn't read this thread before I spoke with him or I would have passed along everyone's concerns.

I live in NC so I can't walk over and talk with him whenever I'd like but I will do anything I can to help. I have known Jay since this project started, I know how hard he's worked and I know he's never lied to me. I'm not his business partner just a fellow customer and I don't like the thought of being screwed over by an unscrupulous POS any more than any of you. I don't think, no I know Jay isn't that kind of person. Jesus, I could write a book about this whole fiasco but I'm looking forward to getting my car and what I paid for and forgetting it. Hell, I can't even here the word Florida without getting sick.

I will try calling him myself so please feel free to email me directly.

P.S. Jay isn't the reason why my 85' has been in FL for the past 2 yrs.(that's due to someone else...).

I have the v2 setup at his shop from the Gp in Feb, and a set of heads that I personally drove down to him from KY. I haven't heard from him either, nor have I been able to contact him. I am not overly concerned however, the guy just doesn't seem to be the type that would pull a fast one on anyone to me. I know that doesn't lend a lot of comfort with this much cash on the line, but it is all you can hold on to right now. Have a little faith in the guy. HE has been dealing with some serious s*&t in the past six months. I know that as a one man operation he was a little overwhelmed with all of the v2 orders, and etc, etc. I owe him $350 and if he called me tomorrow I'd send it to him.

I think that if there is anyone in the vicinity that can go to his shop and track him down to talk to him, then that would be great, but until I hear otherwise, I'm keeping the faith. I gotta believe that all will be well, he just seems like a really good guy to me.

I just wish he would make contact to get this cleared up with everyone. Before this gets out of hand...ie S&S

 

[HOTSIX]

Okay....now i'm scared.

I have sent FULL payment to Jay and have gotten NOTHING in return.

If in fact he was broken into - that can be verified. I'm not losing my cash for ANY reason. I know in speaking with Jay several times myself that he is a good guy - but thats all I know.

In saying that - he hasnt contacted ANY ONE OF US to let us know whats going on. Thats not right. All I need is an answer from him as to whats happening.

I am giving some serious consideration now to contacting my brother coppers in Sarasota unless Jay or someone else can get hold of him to get an answer.

NOT GOOD

TURBOMOTION - UPDATE !!!!

Guys - I spoke to Jay at his home on Saturday. He was quite upset having his shop broken into and his livelyhood upset. Jay is awaiting an insurance settlement and he intends to make full refunds to everyone.

Stay tuned and he will be in touch.

He will be calling me direct....

ps. His phone was stolen in the B+E thats why nobody can get through.

 

[Two Lane]

Donations for phone?

I've got several extra working phones I could send Jay for free,
or we could send 10-12 bucks so he could get a new one from K-Mart...if that's the only thing keeping him from communicating with his friends & customers.

Gosh, if the phone in the shop were stolen here, I'd probably have another one within an hour...but, hey, that's just me.

HTH
