 I am a master mechanic with many years of experience and multiple certifications in the various fields of vehicle service and repair industry, business protocol and procedure. I can provide any individual that believes they have been scammed and/or cheated by any service and repair facility with a free consultation, expert advice, and legal testimony if needed on your behalf with your current complaint. I will review your documents and work orders for evaluation and advise you on a step by step procedure that may aid you to a successful resolution and restitution. I am yours, the consumer’s advocate for fair and legal treatment in the Automotive, Truck, Motorcycle, Small Engine and Equipment service and repair industry. Every service and repair facility out there cheating, scamming and doing incompetent work gives every honest shop a black eye and stigmatizes the whole industry.

 IF EVERYONE OF THE GREAT LAKE COUNTY RIDING GROUPS LISTED BELOW WILL HELP SUPPORT EACH OTHER WE WOULD ALL HAVE OUTSTANDING CHARITY RIDES AND EVENTS. We cannot let this chance pass us by! If we banned together for support of each other and our local charity events we would always be successful. I suggest that each group have a Communications Rep that will contact on a regular basis or attend other groups meetings so we may assist them with any of their events and be there to relay to them our upcoming event information too. Everyone is having charity events & poker run events and are stacking them on top of others in the same area. We are undermining ourselves. Lake County Riders / Groups Come Together and Feel the Real Strength of Community.
