Good Luck Bud, I know how much of a heartbreak and how depressing a big ordeal like this can be....
Wow even Kaaz is shady? If big name "reputable" companies and shops are doing shady business and have a legion of fanboys to hype them up, who can you can you really trust nowadays?

I am amazed this Todd character is still allowed to do business.

How is ClubLexus even allowing him to be a sponsor which so many complaints day in and day out.

I will tell you this. I own an automotive business and recently tried dealing with Todd and TME and it was the absolute worst practice I have ever delt with. I have been in the industry for 8 years now and deal with over 100 manufactures. I had an order that was suppose to be at my place of business in no more then 2 weeks for a Sponsored Project car that needed to be ready for a major show and it took over 3 months. It is impossible to get ahold of Todd through email, phone, AT HIS BUSINESS !! I had to contact Daizen directly and complain about TME and they overnighted the parts the next day.

Plain and simple, no one should deal with TME !!

I posted this in the Suggestion forum. We need to kick TM to the curb. If enough people reply, perhaps we can make this a reality.

There were a lot of discrepancies with the stories he told me and the stories fellow members recently PM'd me about when they saw my car. I can only imagine the worst with my car...

Im a nice guy, and I am willing to settle this in a cordial matter. But it takes 2 to tango.
Lee you are a great guy, I hope everything works out. Keep in touch bro!

Just caught wind of this thread. Really sorry about your ordeal, but sounds like you need to contact a lawyer ASAP and have them deal with the company.

Wow..that really sucks. Time to find a good lawyer, get your car + your money back. Sorry to hear, hope it straightens out eventually.

Lee there should be 2 cars at the shop (both we know whose they are); also there is someone inside usually. just keep banging away or wait until its dark or be there in the morning to find said person.. but even then you're rolling dice to bet he's in there ......maybe you can have law enforcement waiting then....

WOW!!!...If what u say is true I surely hope he gets what he deserves...Good Luck!!!

on a side note: Why anyone would let something like this linger beyond 2 years is sorta puzzling...I get angry when someone borrows my tools for more then 20 mins...
