Complaint Review: Gage Ford

Gage Ford was referred to me as someone who does mobile boat stern drive repair work in his spare time (he is employed by a local Fox Lake marina).

I initially contacted Ford via telephone on 7/17/18, and eventually arranged a visit to my home that took place on 7/25/18. Ford did advise me that he would require a $50.00 cash deposit to visit me onsite, diagnose the problem with my boat, and obtain necessary repair parts. I agreed, and paid him. Ford told me he would call the next day with status of finding parts. When he did not call, I called him on 7/27/18 and left a voice mail. Ford responded with a text indicating he was still looking for needed parts. 

On 8/9/18, having not heard anything, I again called Ford and left a voice mail. He did not respond, nor has he responded to seven subsequent voice mails through 9/6/18. My worst fear of paying Ford $50.00 in cash before any work actually being done has been realized.

I feel Ford had planned this theft from day one. Stay away from this guy. He is a fraud.
