I live in a remote area of Canada, so when my crankshaft needed rebuilding, I looked online and found JT Snowmobile in New Lowell Ontario.
After swapping email, I shipped my crank and rod to him. I tracked the package via Canada Posts online tracking service, and the package was delivered to their post office but sat there for 10 days before it was picked up. So, fine. A week goes by. I send an email to see how its going. They send one back, saying undersized rod. They had to order one. So I wait for 2 more weeks til they get the rod and they phone me for payment.
Then I wait almost 3 weeks to get it back in the mail, and guess what? They kept the rod that I sent them. They ground down the crank so much that the rod I sent was too big, so they had to buy another one, but they kept my rod, new bearings and all. I have emailed the guy and he insists that the rod was no good, and no one generally wants to pay to ship no good parts back home etc... I have told hime to send me the rod or a check for $200 and now he is just ignoring me. There was nothing wrong with the rod. The bearings spun and gouged the crank, which is why I had to get it redone, nothing to do with the rod. I could have sold that rod myself or used it on another project. Jt Snowmobile ripped me off.

When I worked as a tech we NEVER threw any bad parts or replaced parts away until the customer was asked if they wanted them. If you sent him a rod with new bearings, and they weren't used, you sure as hell should have gotten it back. His claim of no one wanting to pay to ship back bad parts is bogus....a rod weighs nothing and is tiny vs. the crank. Keep calling.

If you don't get your rod back or money, then threaten them with a lawsuit. If they still don't, then go for it. It's not your fault they screwed up.
-To ride or not to ride, what a stupid question!
-You should never judge a guy until you have walked a mile in his shoes, then you are a mile away and have his shoes
-Ice, snow, or grass, I'll still kick your ass.

Bullys. They like to upset people because it makes their weak soul feel better.
I say sue the company asap. Thus the reason why I only do business with 2 snowmobile shops. Als Snowmobile in Newport, Vermont, and D&G in Harrison, Maine.

The person giving a negative feedback is probably the owner.
Know how it feels when people steal parts. I got my motherboard on my computer replaced and they stole a $200 graphic card so I couldnt upload my videos from my camera to my hard drive and that card included a video editor. Had to drive back to where my dad was living and tell him to give it back or I was gonna get legal with him. He handed it to me and said "now get out of my store you little brat". At that point I had the urge to stick my tongue out at him just because of his comment. But I didnt. Anyways go after the guy. You got his address drive there and go face to face and say you want it back.
If you cant fix it with duct tape, tylnol, or band aids your screwed.

I dont understand how people can sit there and say "I wonder how i can screw the next person over that calls here for something". Those people need to understand what karma is and how much of a bitch it can be.

^^^Amen to that, we have a dealer in town who is a complete @$$ so I never go there. In fact I drive past his place to go 25 miles to another dealer who treats you like family. Karma is a cold, mercyless, bitch.
