Chrome Express - David Parks Failed to honor agreements and Failed to return critical part to complete rare harley restore project Midland North Carolina
My story is the same as all the others reported on Ripoff.com
I met Dave through e'bay. I sent him pictures to quote price and we made what should have been a fast easy deal.
I shipped him parts and made half of my $450.00 payment through paypal.
Total estimate of turnaround was set at 5 weeks allowing 1 week shipping each way and 3 weeks to complete work.
after checking with him I got a call about 10 weeks later saying the parts were done and he asked me to send the balance of payment via western union which I did and he would send me my parts as agreed at the very beginning.
Weeks later I did not see my parts and thats when the year long nightmare began.
Without knowing his true business habits I made courtious calls and messages only to recieve responses weeks later each time with excuse after excuse.
After 7 months he finally gave me a tracking numer only to find when I rcvd the package it was only the small nuts and bolts and missing the two major parts of my rare extended 1938 Harley springer that was rebuild custom for a friend/clients custom bike.
again I contact him, I rcvd more excuses with false promisses. Months later I finally did recieve the rear legs of the springer but still missing the front legs that still have not been returned and now I don't get any responses from my e'mails and he screens his phone calls and its going on a year now.
I build bikes as a hobby and since this was not my property and what I did recieve back from Dave was not complete I was forced to replace this springer front end at full cost which cost me $2500.00
As a last result I informed Dave I was given a deadline by the owner to produce this item or he was going to use the money he was holding back. Again I got a promise and an extention on my delivery date but again that promise from Dave was false.
I have truly tride to be patient and work with him even to the point were I authorized him just to return my piece unfinished and I would finish it elsewere so I could avoid my loss but he didn't even do that for me.
Since my ordeal with Dave I have met and spoke with others and assure you their story are the same as mine and based on my experience with Chrome Express/Dave Parks does fall into the criteria of a thief and should be punished to the full extent of the law and forced to pay restitution to his victoms.

Chrome Express - David Parks made good and returned items. Item was returned it good condition and finished. They did an excellent chrome job on this piece. Much later than I would have liked but appoligy was given and accepted. He even offered services to make up for trouble. This deal between myself and Chrome express is closed.
