Parkway Cycle Tony Palumbo scam and fraud, total incompetence everett, Massachusetts
I am a customer of Parkway Cycles and have a big problem with Parkway Cycles now, not sure how to proceed further. I brought in my bike (Suzuki Madura) to change fork seals ~1.5 months ago. The parts were in and the guy said that I should be able to pick up my bike in a day or so, they will call. Week later I heard nothing so we called and apparently the tech damaged something while disassembling it or, found something damaged, and he needed more parts (somehow they forgot to inform us about it). So we agreed to order new pistons and sliders. Week later I called again. The person that answered phone was VBERY rude and said, they will call when it is ready, no need for me to check in parts are shipped and should be in any day now. Yet another week later. I called again. Same story, parts shipped all is moving, need to wait. Another week (last week). I called, made sure I know who I am talking to (Don). Don: My computer shows all is fine your parts are shipped, few more days.. Me: Don, I heard the story for a month now, can one contact the supplier, ask for tracking number ??? Don: I will check stuff out, call me tomorrow Called him next day; Don, whats up with parts?, Don: Computer said all is fine, will check with ordering department, will let you know Next day Don, calls: Parts are backordered till 8-22-10 at least. So I already wasted a months, because parts were in any day now, now I have to waste another month. Summer will be over!!!! I said I will pick up motorcycle, dont bother doing anything. Well, apparently I cant do that either. Tech has to put it back together, but he is busy in foreseeable futuer!!!!!!!! (I would think I should have priority, he had my bike for over a month!!!!) And yeah, I need to pay 350$ for his incompetence, because he spent so much time taking fork seals out and now will have to put it back together.350$ for nothing, because he didnt do anything, except breaking some other things that now I have to fix elsewhere. What a f***. Do I have to pay for no service, why I was LIED to for a months (on multiple occasions, and once in a very RUDE manner). Do you even have my motorcycle, or it got lost, thats why I cant pick it up?????
