Complaint Review: Paradise Coach Sherwood OR - Internet Internet

 This rebuttal comment is in defense of Paradise Coach. The amount Jeff paid to have the transmission repaired at Marty's Transmission is the going rate for a rebuild without removal and installation. As you can see from what Aamco charged to install, the cost for that still does not get you to $4200.00. For the record, an automatic transmission has many components in it that do not all need to be replaced in a rebuild and most times they are not. If you want to know the real truth about Aamco prices, just go to Summit Racing.com and you will see that you can purchase a brand new transmission on line with racing componets in it for about $1299.00. So either Marty's can buy parts cheaper than the largest transmission rebuilder in the country "or" he is just more honest. I would guess that Kurt makes pretty decent donations at his church. Remember, there are a lot of people who mask themselves behind christanity.

It is unfortunate that Paradise Coach's owner, Jeff, seems to have no conscience whatsoever, and feels that twisting the truth about what they do to their moterhomes to make them "road worthy", is a proper way to do business.

 

The transmission repair and the warranty that went with it, are sub-standard at best. That transmission had considerable Hard Part damage (excessivly worn or damaged gears) and could not possably been repaired correctly for that kind of money. It is as plain as doing the math, and thats what Jeff at Paradise Coach doesn't want to give the average consumer credit for. People are not stupid, Jeff. The cost of the parts necessary to make a PROPER repair to that transmission, exceed the amount you paid to have the job done by Marty. Hmmmmm, theres a problem. That means that Marty must have left a few things out, and also performed his labor for free. Does that make sense to you?



The bottom line is that nothing in life is FREE. Everybody deals with the same two things, PARTS and Labor. Now maybe Marty did the labor for less than Aamco, and maybe Marty did his labor for absolutly free, but I know for a fact that Marty doesn't buy his parts for less money than "The World's Largest Transmission Rebuilder". And that is why I feel the consumers need to be WARNED about people that do business like you choose to. It is WRONG!



I wonder how good that warranty will be when the people are half way across the country? How about just as far as Idaho? Does Marty have a shop in Idaho? You said this is just foolishness, in you own words, Jeff, but I believe that it is anything but foolishness. I am passionate about what I do for a living and actually care about the customer after they drive away. That is why I stand behind the repairs I make in all 50 States and Canada.



And for the record..... when I called you about the review you wrote about me, I never said anything whatsoever about "making you pay", I simply stated that since you had written despariging statements about me it opened the door for the truth to come out, and it was you that threatened me with "your lawyer" and hung up on me. Your threat didn't scare me, Jeff, and the truth is still the truth. I am happy to defend the truth in court if you wish, but I'll bet you would rather not have to hear any more truth, because people like youare afraid of standing in the light and being honest. And a good day to you.

Wow, where do I Start in responding to this crazy deflection of responsiblity.

The entire reason kurt From Tigard Aamco wrote this rip off report was because,after they (tigard Aamco) replaced my transmission and I believe overcharged me, they sent me an email with the opportunity to rate their service. Genius huh ?

This customer service quiz asked for responses about my experience and I answered honestly. It also has a box to check if you want to send it back "anonymous"  so I checked that option.

The next day, I get a phone call from the Manager of Tigard Aamco ( Anonymous huh ?) telling me ,If I didnt remove that response he was going to make me " pay" and he would spread the word that paradise coach was a bad business.   Well  This is to show how Kurt the christian man responds when a bit of truth is spoken about the Business he works for.
He has no reason to write a Rip off report about my company other than to deflect and justify his actions as a Transmission shop that has had way more than one bad review after another.

Yes I took the Motorhome to Kurt at Aamco to have the trans looked at. At the time the vehicle was driving and shifting fine although it had a leak. We at paradise coach DO NOT send out vehicles that are not road worthy,so even though we had sold the coach for minimal profit,I wanted it fixed for my customer.

Thats when Kurt with Tigard Aamco tells me that "oh yes we can probably re-seal the trans for around 800.00 ,But its gotta come out "   So I aggreed to that repair. 

Then once the transmission is out, I get a call from Kurt the christian man from Tigard Aamco,telling me oh man,you need more work on this thing, 4200.00.  So lets see,from 800 to 4200 just like that,and at that point had the trans out and there was no way I could pick the coach up and run with it,so I had the trans picked up and taken to Martys Transmissions in North Portland. Marty rebuilt the transmission 100% and gave me a warrantee to give to my customer( the new owner ) and the price was 1800.00.  Quite a difference from Tigard Aamco at 4200.00.

Then aamco Tigard charges me 921.00 to put the trans back in. It is my belief that they were upset that I had the trans rebuilt at a different reputable shop and didnt let them charge me the Aamco prices.

Well enough of this foolishness, My reputation speaks for itself.  Check out my Feedback on eBay Over 9 years and over 600 Motorhomes sold with 100% positive feedback.
