Of course he will deny everything Jay said. That is what liars and scammers do. His real name is not even Kevin Mako. It is Kevin Makowchik. He changed it, likely after his assault charge. He suckered a guy in a bar with a glass and it slit the guy's eye causing him permanent blindness. Is this the type of person you want to do business with. Typical rich kid used to getting his own way and yes I think his family's money got him off on these charges too. Do a google check on Kevin Mako aka Kevin Makowchik assault or makoinvent. There are all kinds of similar stories of how he rips people off with no conscience.
google this for starters...don't take my word
student loses an eye in beer spat
It appears that once he gathered "his guys" he then had the courage to sucker the guy with a glass..very nice Kevin
YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Dear Readers of this post, I am Kevin Mako, president of Mako International Corp. After carefully reviewing the false declarations above, and further reviewing this claim with our client list, we see that we have never done a prototype for a client named Jay. Furthermore, none of the negative claims within this complaint have occurred with a client, so we have no idea what the meaning of this post is. This post is either a competitor trying to shamelessly slander our business, or a client hiding behind an alias with an unsuccessful product and is looking to blame someone.
First, we review and confirm every single product specification with the client PRIOR to even starting with a prototype. We provide numerous 3D images, detailed measurements, and clear diagrams of precisely what the final prototype will look like. We even render the images with high-caliber shadows, reflections, and environment imaging so that it looks like an actual photograph of their eventual product. We then have it reviewed and confirmed by the client. Through this process, we ensure that the prototypes are literally within 1/10th of a millimeter accuracy to what the client wants and approves, so that there is absolutely no confusion. We have never had a prototype that deviated from the specifications.
Second, the poster claims that the unit broke after using it 4 times. We have never received any correspondence from any of our clients to this effect. Once in a while there is a small mechanical issue with a prototype, as can be expected (shipping damage, a crack, stress damage, etc.) - In every one of those instances, we have corrected the problem by issuing replacement parts, or even a new prototype if required.
Third, our prototypes are all completed to the highest degree of current technical capabilities, and we only create fully manufactured prototypes (the highest grade of prototype levels). We utilize tools, materials, facilities, and expertise from all over North America, as well as our own facilities. Never in our history have we made a garage prototype, as was claimed by this poster. We have dozens of examples of our work at our office, and have detailed specs, reports, and photographs of every prototype we have completed. Even an inexperienced inventor can easily see the detailed complexity and skill required to make these manufactured prototypes.
Finally, the poster personally accused me of lying to him on the phone. In the product development business, everything that happens is based on concrete technical variables, so there is no reason to lie. If we make a mistake on something we will just tell the client and then fix it.
At Mako, we spend a great deal of time considering and reviewing both positive and negative feedback to continually improve our invention services; however, this post is completely unfair and offside. If anyone has any further questions or comments in regards to this post, the business, or anything else feel free to email, call, or stop by the office anytime.
