Green Devil Garage

If you’re a woman, don’t go here. If you’re a widow, don’t go here. I had the worst experience with the employees and owner, Pat. I was told by the employee that picked up my motorcycle that it would be ready for pick up the following Monday, so I scheduled the trailer and my life around picking up the bike. After repeated calls and voicemails on Friday, (I called back in the afternoon, and he answered to tell me he was on the phone with an ambulance and then hung up on me) and then again on Monday, the owner finally called me back at 3:30pm on Monday, after I’d already picked up the trailer and on my way to his shop to tell me the bike wasn’t ready. Not that big of a deal, because I’ll have someone work on it on the other end, but he proceeded to yell at me about how I was lying about his employee telling me it would be ready on Monday. Why in the heck would I lie about that? He continued to blame me telling me it was MY communication error. (Someone was there on Monday when a family member of mine called to pay for their services and they didn’t not tell them it wasn’t going to be ready. I also called immediately after their phone call and no one answered the phone, so I left another voicemail on the business phone.) When I told him that there were other employees there when the bike got picked up to verify he said Monday, Pat said, «well, they don’t speak English.» He then proceeded to belittle me, assuring me he doesn’t need my business («I’ve got plenty of business, I don’t need yours.») and his shop isn’t in the business of doing «work like that.» Even though they were open until 6pm, I had to wait there until 6:20pm for his employees to show up to give me the bike back. This was the same employee that told me the bike would be ready on Monday. When I simply asked him, «You said it would be ready today.» His response was, «I don’t want to fight.» He then rolled the bike out out of the shop and put it at the end of the trailer. He turned to the people in the shop and said, «Nope, I’m leaving it right here. She can figure it out.» They hadn’t even done a single thing to the bike the entire time they had it (simple oil change and tires was all it needed). Thank God a friend came to help me load my late husband’s motorcycle so I didn’t drop it. This all could have been avoided if someone would have called me to tell me it wasn’t going to be ready. I could have adjusted my schedule OR they could have just not taken the job from the beginning. My advice, unless you’re dropping a dime, he doesn’t want your business. And if he’s wrong, he will verbally abuse you to make himself feel good. It’s a small world, until we meet again.
