Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
Anyone here have problems with Flathead city?
I talked to him in Jan 2019 a few times and finally ordered a 8ba from him Jan 30 2019. Gave him my credit card number and he said it would be ready in 30 days. It is now June 2 and repeated attempts to contact him with no response. Anybody have any suggestions. I think he recognizes my number and let's the phone go to message. I leave a message and never get a call back. |

Yes, he charged my account the same day and the credit card company wants a copy of his return policy in order to cancel the charge. It never occurred to me to ask for those things since I have never had a problem with any vendors like this.

Are you close to the shop? Stop by and talk to him. Never heard of a card card not just canceling a charge if disputed. Could report it as fraud to the CC, personally I'd do it after going and talking face to face and no resolve. But I would make a visit. I would have done this before sending any big money.

I'm building an engine for a guy who got screwed by this company. Sent him his engine and a bunch of parts and a lot of money and hasn't gotten a thing in over a year and a half now. Not a happy man. I'd steer clear of this outfit.

Re: Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
Came across this site a few weeks back and thought it looked a bit odd as no parts were really listed. Hope things work out.

Re: Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
I'm sorry to hear about your bad dealings with this company. What I love about this hobby, a lot of it is done on someone's word or a gentleman's agreement. Getting ripped off stinks no matter what.
I hope this works out and you can get your parts back and be made whole again. Good luck. Last edited by Tim Ayers; 06-03-2019 at 07:24 AM. |

Re: Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
Where are you located?
Any "Barners" near Grants Pass, Oregon willing to check into this for a fellow Flatheader? I am no longer in that area, but during the mid-seventies I lived on a mining claim in the woods near Merlin for almost three years. I am certain that there are some old hippies still in the area that visit him for you. Kinda scary as I think about it. Chap |

Re: Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
His return policy should not matter, just dispute the charge as "product never received ".

Re: Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
GBM,
I would call the Oregon Department of Justice Consumer Protection Division at 1 877-877-9392 and talk with them. Sometimes a call from them will make things happen. They very well may be aware of him and working a case. At least your call will make them aware of him. |

Bob Drake Ford parts is in Grant’s Pass. Perhaps a call to them might provide some useful information. They had a bulletin board in the store where locals post Ford stuff for sale.

Re: Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
Thank you all, I do everything over the phone as I live in Alaska. He still won't answer my calls or texts. I will try each of your suggestions. I may even fly down there. I have kind of a temper when people try to rip me off . I'm not sure a face to face will go well.

Re: Flathead city, Gary Howard, Grants Pass, Or
GBM I had a situation where I sent a guy an order for 3,000 and paid with credit card. He did not have the parts and for every excuse he had I replied with an email.
when it was apparent he did not have anything, I notified credit card company and sent copies of emails. They immediately credited me . You might want to send an email to him outlining your problems. A paper trail should work with a credit card company. Since you received no goods, his return policy should mean nothing. Good Luck,John

First, I would call the Grants Pass police department and file a charge against him OR at least talk to a detective to see what he suggest. I got scammed years ago on a Pines Winterfront grill. ME and another fellow ended up calling the local sheriff and his investigator could not "officially" charge him (because of the value...$600) BUT through a couple visits and "implied" actions (it took about a month or so) he got two money orders from him for almost all our money back!!!! IF you can get a few others who have suffer the same fate, that helps!!!! PLUS...that much value across state lines "Could" constitute "Federal" charges and interest from larger authority!!!
