I am well aware of the situation between DV and Jay. Unfortunately, I took my car out to Jay when I went to the Fling last year. Jay was to mount the body, do the bodywork and paint. This was well before his business practices became known to me. After numerous delays and excuses, the car was "finished" in November.
Bottom line is he destroyed my car. Nothing was done right. Body mounted wrong, roll bars mounted wrong, doors don't close, really bad body work and paint. This is only part of it. I am not overstating the bad quality of work. I get sick thinking about it.
I actually gave Jay more than 3 months to repair my car. After numerous excuses and calls, it became obvious he had no intention or ability to repair my car.
I made a trip out to see Jay April 5th, to sit down at the table and come to an agreement. He admits that the car should not have left his shop that way. He stated that he had an employee problem that my car got in the middle of. We agreed on a partial repayment ($6,000). He has not honored that written agreement. Haven't heard from him, can't reach him. I have been more than fair and patient dealing with Jay Kowalik. I've been stewing on this since November. I lost out big time with Jay Kowalik!
Just a side note here: Don and Ed offered to repair my car but I don't think they knew how bad it was.
Jay needs to make it right!
