How do I respond to someone who thinks like this?

You stated in another post that you wanted to wait to here from the other side before making a verdict, then you make excuses for him, so much for being fair. Even if every excuse you gave is true the fact is I gave John Pasemann of U.S. Car Tool $275.00 and have nothing to show for it 8 years later. Even a Total Jerk doesn't deserve this.

I tried the mature thing with John, it didn't work. I offered to accept things at a lesser cost, it didn't work. Nothing has worked for me. So know I'm trying public humiliation,
and so for it's not working either. But I will never stop trying until I get my money back.

I'm sorry if the truth hurts anyone but this did happen to me. On going in an other post on this site people are discussing their opinions about PG Classics good and bad. Thats what these forums are for, read the facts make you own decisions. I don't care if you want to continue and do business with John and U.S. Car Tool, but a least I can say I warned you.

I wished someone back then warned me.

I just want my money back!

Thanks,
Jim

Take an advertisement out in his local paper asking him to repay you. Better yet, contact the local NC news station and tell them you need assistance getting your money back.

The internet can reveal many things about a person. Local city records and websites like Zaba search can give you great information on a person.

The NC BBB shows one complaint against him. Not saying that wasn't one complaint with 50 complainants, but that's all the complaints the BBB shows. Perhaps no one else actually saw fit to use the BBB as a channel, but out of 50+ possible, just one. I've never had any dealings with the company, so I don't have a dog in this fight, just pointing out what I saw.

The BBB needs a better system...And you can't use it to really gauge a company...You do know it's a private business service like carfax don't you ???...Trouble is this private service want's money from a business for a "privilege" just to post and defend against a complaint...10,000 good transactions never get a response but one complaint will get you an "F" rating if you don't play by their rules.... I know too many good business owners who've been run through the scam and their "ratings"....

I received 4 emails the week of October 20th about US Car tool and issues with the company, I emailed John on October 24th about meeting him at the shop on Sunday 10-27 as I wanted to show him the email and ask about this, He chose to Terminate my employment 10-25 instead. Nothing surprises me anymore.

And Mitchel wasn't one of the 4 so I guess that's 5

Did I read the correctly, they fired a guy just for asking about a pass due customer refund?

---

Read my reply above, NOBODY got fired over this issue...

I spoke to Mitchel, I think he will delete this thread if he gets his money back. Is it worth refunding him to make this problem go away?

---

This thread should stay as to let other people know just what has happened. If he does get his money back, obviously that would be said but at least let other people know what companies they need to be wary of handing money over too, especially if the company does not want to seem to even let everyone know if there is even another side to the story. All though after all these years have gone by, I can't imagine what it could be that would make a difference.

I just wanted to see if anyone here is aware or was victim of U.S. Car Tool's scam.

Back in the summer of 2005 John Pasemann of U.S. Car Tool was offering a discount for advanced orders on a reproduction of the 1966/67 Charger deck lid medallion, needing 50 orders to help defray some of the upfront tooling costs.He posted on various forums all the details of the part and even had pictures of the mould he had made to make the outter ring, stating deliveries would come in the winter of 2005/ spring 2006. On 9/26/05 I gave John my credit card information and order one, soon after he posted that he had the 50 orders he needed to proceed. I called John back in the spring of 2006, he tolled me that he was delayed trying to find a chrome plater that could do the brushed finish.That summer at the Carlisle Mopar show U.S. Car Tool had a completed outter ring on display (it looked good).

Months later John informed me of a new problem finding someone that could do the plastic injection needed for the insert. Months later he told me no progess was made and that he could no longer tell me when I could expect to get this part.The next time I called John I asked him just to give me the outter ring and call it even, he agreed but never sent the part. Then he said he lost the mould, and then he found it and so on.

I have since asked for my money back. Now he does not returm my call oe Emails, the shop does not pick up my calls or hangs up on me when I tell them whats it about. At this point I don't expect to get my money back or U.S. Car Tool to fulfill their obligations.
Let this post serve as warning to anyone who wishes to do business with John Pasemann and/or U.S. Car Tool, DON'T DO IT !

Thanks,
Jim Mitchell

Did I read that right, somebody got fired for asking him about this?

---

No, you did NOT read that right... nobody was fired over this issue.

The posts since then indicate otherwise. You are playing reputation defender at this point. Sounds like this John guy has some explaining to do. I might just link this up on the Bullet myself since minions are in play.
