WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Shall need advice so you don't happen.

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Come run into.

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 3>Just as fast as you can.

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 4>Shooter's gonna help coming.

5
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 5>Man, this is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martinez.

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Hello, what's happening today with us? It's car Day? Or

7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 2>you could say car Friday. Every Friday. By the way,

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>the show in general will not change that much, except

9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>will emphasize cars a little more. You can still call

10
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>with any other consumer issue. You know, there really is

11
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 2>no place to discuss consumer issues. You can discuss politics

12
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>and religion and philosophy, but.

13
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 6>There's no word to really unload.

14
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>And to just say, come on, man, this shouldn't be happening,

15
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 2>or this should be happening, or why are we doing this?

16
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>Or why are we doing that? And you probably, as

17
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>a result, did not hear a lot about the Big

18
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful Bill as it pertains to certain consumer issues. The

19
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Big Beautiful Bill, did you know, excludes tax credits for

20
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>solar So in the latest edition they've dropped out all

21
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>tax credits for solar systems. Now, think about that. Solar

22
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>system installations were down in twenty twenty four thirty anyway,

23
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 2>and then the industry was making big adjustments a lot

24
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 2>of companies went bankrupt. Now we have, of course Red

25
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Rocks RS, Red Rocks, roof and Solar. Of course they're

26
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>they're a dealer, they're an installer, they're a servicer. Will

27
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 2>always be a lot of service and stuff needed. But

28
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 2>until they do it. Now, this is not a commercial here.

29
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean not that it matters. If it was, who cares?

30
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I love them, But you can still get in under

31
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>the old law. You can still do it. And every

32
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>indication is is that it's not going to be around anymore,

33
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 2>but they might put it back in. If people write

34
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>to their lawmakers saying we think tax credits are important.

35
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 7>Why would you do that though?

36
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Why would somebody write saying we think tax credits are

37
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 2>important for solar systems if they.

38
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 8>Think they're being taken away for cars as well, electric cars?

39
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Right? Yeah, Well, my personal opinion is the tax credits.

40
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Of course, they cost us money, right, so we have

41
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>to weigh the costs with the benefit. I think personally

42
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>that evs and solar on houses helps not just the environment.

43
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 6>Okay, we they it does have a footprint.

44
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying it's going to stop climate change or

45
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 2>any of that stuff. I'm not getting into that because

46
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 2>to produce the batteries and stuff, there's a cost. There's

47
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>an eco cost to everything. But I think it helps

48
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>air quality. I think it helps local air quality, especially

49
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 2>in cities like Denver. But I think that it's just

50
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I just think solar is a good idea.

51
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 8>I don't believe in local air quality. You don't believe

52
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 8>in want Mark local air quality. Hell, there can be

53
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 8>a fire in Canada and we have it here downtown.

54
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know you're you're right, You're right, air is air.

55
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 2>But what I meant was there are a lot of

56
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>cities though, where evs I think can make a dent

57
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 2>and help. So what Mark, do you think we should

58
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 2>not have incentives as you do you think?

59
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 8>I absolutely love my Teslas one hundred percent. I did

60
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 8>not get any tax credits, but I kind of liked

61
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 8>it when it was out there because it helps Elon

62
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 8>and Tesla, and I own a bunch of their stock.

63
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 8>Now if I didn't own their stock, i'd feel a

64
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 8>completely different way. I generally don't feel I should be

65
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 8>paying for Jeff Solar System or anybody solar system. I

66
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 8>don't believe in tax credits for much. I think it's

67
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 8>a good way of cheating.

68
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So in general, you don't like incentives and tax

69
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 2>credits for people.

70
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 7>For almost anything.

71
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 8>I think Denver gives so much money for like free

72
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 8>electric bikes. I mean, why am I paying for someone

73
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 8>else electric bike?

74
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 7>That's insane?

75
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And let me bring something up that I feel is

76
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool. And he's been consistent for years. Mark, He'll

77
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 2>tell you he is a selfish voter and he is

78
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>an I don't mean that in a bad way. He

79
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 2>is a selfish voter and a selfish observer of the

80
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>current climate. He wants to know how is this affecting me?

81
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of people don't do that. They don't

82
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>do it, but.

83
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 7>I think they don't say it, but they do it.

84
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 9>Oh okay, Mark, I think most voters vote because of

85
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 9>what they think is going to affect them personally.

86
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, But well, as Mark said, they don't say that.

87
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>They they they talk about lofty ideas when it comes

88
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>to the environment or other things, but they might vote

89
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 2>against that privately. I believe that's so A lot of.

90
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 7>Think most people are that way.

91
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 8>They want to act like their self right or yeah,

92
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 8>self righteous, you know.

93
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 7>But in general, if it affects you it affects you.

94
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk to RZ. I believe, I hope I'm pronouncing

95
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>it right.

96
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 10>R Z.

97
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 6>Arz I RZ that.

98
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 11>Thank you pronouncing it exactly right.

99
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's going on with you? RZI? What's happening?

100
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 11>Thanks to Martino Lows my oldest sister, I lost my mother,

101
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 11>I lost my dad and another sister just about all

102
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 11>at the same time. Well, I have a young lady

103
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:19.759
<v Speaker 11>that's my younger sister, and I got doubts about that

104
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 11>as far as that goes. But I became the personal

105
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 11>representative of my parents of state and my oldest sister Coosetta,

106
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 11>and I got an attorney from where my wife used

107
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 11>to work, and williams we Pepple and through.

108
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 7>Well, I don't, I don't.

109
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to need to know each and every

110
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 2>name or or syllable or needs you. So go on

111
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>with your story, though I'm interested. So you were a

112
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>personal representative for your mom and your older sister.

113
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 6>Keep going.

114
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:03.879
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, And the the people that were my attorneys, they

115
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 11>got Incoho's here with my supposedly youngest sister.

116
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Now I need to ask some basic questions, Arsie, how

117
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.319
<v Speaker 2>many people? How many people? Right? Now are surviving in

118
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 2>the family, You and your youngest sister and who else?

119
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.560
<v Speaker 12>Two half brothers?

120
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, keep going then.

121
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 11>And I am the oldest of them.

122
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Old I got it. One sister and two half brothers.

123
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>So where are we going with the story? Though? You're

124
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 2>saying that the attorney is he making private deals with

125
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>what is he? And who chose this attorney to represent

126
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 2>the estate?

127
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 12>I did?

128
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay? And how did you find the attorney? I don't

129
00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>need to know a lot about the attorney, but how

130
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>did you find this firm?

131
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.759
<v Speaker 11>My wife worked for the firm.

132
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Now you understand, as personal representative, you can fire that

133
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>firm if you think they're making underhanded dealings. But it

134
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>might just be your imagination. Arzi, tell me what you

135
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 2>think they're doing wrong?

136
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 11>Well, they've taken the estate out of my hand? How

137
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 11>well they who kind of way went to the court

138
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 11>or something? Man, I'm not the person or representative anymore.

139
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hold on now, hold on, hold on. I did

140
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>not realize so they took away that They could have

141
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>only done that if one of the heirs complained. So

142
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>did someone who complained? Your youngest sister? Yes?

143
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 6>Did the two brothers?

144
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Did the two brothers go along with her.

145
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.039
<v Speaker 11>That's what is happening.

146
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hold on and hold on, because what I want

147
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 2>to do is get maybe Dan McKenzie on if we

148
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:10.759
<v Speaker 2>can get him to discuss this RZI. It's very difficult

149
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 2>to displace someone as a personal representative. I can only

150
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 2>assume that there were some evidence or something there, or

151
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>that you didn't put up a stink.

152
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 7>But are they what are they claiming?

153
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 8>Are they saying like you're on drugs, or you're an alcoholic,

00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>bury the lead, meaning that the main issue here. He

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:18.480
<v Speaker 2>was removed as personal representative from his and from his

184
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:25.480

187
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 8>Money, missing and then depending on what he spent the

188
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 8>money on, apparently a judge thought it was not good

189
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:40.279

231
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 2>know how much was taken out. What proof did they

232
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.399

233
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 2>stealing money?

234
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.799
<v Speaker 15>And nobody's gone to court?

235
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So they just made the accusation and the judge

236
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.919
<v Speaker 2>appointed your sister instead of you.

237

<v Speaker 11>as a co personal representedgy.

239
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.600

00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 2>guys don't have access, How do you know the money

306
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.200
<v Speaker 2>has been taken?

307
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 19>Because we had an account where the money was held

308
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:43.440
<v Speaker 19>at one point.

309
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, and how much money? How much money are

310
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:48.240
<v Speaker 2>we talking about?

311
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.119
<v Speaker 19>Well, at the time that we were looking at it

312
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.759
<v Speaker 19>there it was well over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

313
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.640
<v Speaker 19>It could have been.

314
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.359
<v Speaker 15>Up to two three.

315
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 11>Even more than that.

316
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

317
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 6>What happened to the house.

318
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker 20>Now which we had?

319
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, which any of them? Any of them? What happened

320
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>to the real estate in general? What happened to it?

321
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 16>We sold a.

322
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 19>House, We sold the houses?

323
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So right now, Mari, is the bottom line this

324
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 2>and I don't mean this in a bad way.

325
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.519
<v Speaker 6>It is our z calling because he wants his share.

326
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.119
<v Speaker 19>Sure, well, yeah, we wont our share.

327
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 6>Okay, hold on a second, just hold on a second.

328
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>You know it is it is. It is befuddling to

329
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:46.640
<v Speaker 2>me how many people are accused of wrongdoing when they're

330
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:50.200
<v Speaker 2>brothers and sisters and friends. When it comes to the States,

331
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 2>it is it is nasty. Mark. How many times have

332
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>we heard people being accused of stealing or being in

333
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:01.279
<v Speaker 2>cahoots with the judge? Really well, really good?

334
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 8>I mean it's well. Being in cahoots with the judge

335
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.240
<v Speaker 8>is just silly. I mean unless he's a relative and

336
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.200
<v Speaker 8>someone left that out. Why would the judge be in

337
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 8>cahoots with anybody? No, there's no reason why.

338
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Exactly exactly, Here's what I want to do. I want

339
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.720
<v Speaker 2>to get Dan mckenzion, not to try to solve this

340
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 2>problem at this moment, but to do a general what

341
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:29.160
<v Speaker 2>do they do to get a general accounting and to

342
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 2>make the estate at least report to them. So get

343
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:36.119
<v Speaker 2>Dan mckenzion to talk in general terms for us. I

344
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.960
<v Speaker 2>have to take this break now. We are working on

345
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.880
<v Speaker 2>this oil change problem with Joe. He's going to be next,

346
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.680
<v Speaker 2>along with John who has a follow up from a

347
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.039
<v Speaker 2>year ago. We'll look into that. I'm Tom Martine. Jeff

348
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Thick is in the studio. He's with Kimera Transmission and

349
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.839
<v Speaker 2>we'll be talking cars today as well. I looked up

350
00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.160
<v Speaker 2>some very interesting information on cars that last long and

351
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:01.200
<v Speaker 2>cars that don't.

352
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.000
<v Speaker 6>All of that coming up right.

353
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:11.039
<v Speaker 2>After this seven one, three, eight, two, five five. Okay,

354
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.079
<v Speaker 2>so we're going to wait on Dan McKenzie for that

355
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 2>estate issue. Let's talk about oil changes. We have Jeff

356
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 2>fake Kimera transmission. Joe wants to talk about an issue

357
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 2>with an oil change. What the heck's going on, Joe.

358
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 17>Hey, I just want to comment first on.

359
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:35.880
<v Speaker 21>Your opening monologue about electric vehicles. All I have to

360
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 21>say is, man made global warming is a scam.

361
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.119
<v Speaker 17>It's a farce. Uh, it's a joke, and I hope

362
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker 17>you guys don't do.

363
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Too much well Joe, you know I wasn't discussing I

364
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 2>wasn't talking about evs to stop climate change. I mean,

365
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:56.720
<v Speaker 2>people can come down on that issue wherever they want.

366
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about them. I just think they're a

367
00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.880
<v Speaker 2>great alternative.

368
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.640
<v Speaker 8>I have the same opinion as you do, and I

369
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.559
<v Speaker 8>own two Teslas, but I don't I didn't buy the

370
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.960
<v Speaker 8>Teslas right to be green. I bought them because they

371
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.839
<v Speaker 8>drive themselves and they're the fastest car made.

372
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.440
<v Speaker 22>I got.

373
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, Yeah, I'm with so.

374
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:22.680
<v Speaker 21>I have no problem with electric vehicles, none whatsoever. But

375
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.039
<v Speaker 21>I they're not driving any they're not driving salvation from

376
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:27.920
<v Speaker 21>climate change.

377
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.640
<v Speaker 2>And Joe, Joe, you know what, I come down kind

378
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>of on your side too. Here's what I think. There

379
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:39.279
<v Speaker 2>are definitely meteorological changes taking place in the atmosphere and

380
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:42.160
<v Speaker 2>around the world in cycles that have been happening for

381
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 2>millions of years. What Here's what I find funny that

382
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.000
<v Speaker 2>we believe when Joe Biden used to talk about his

383
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:52.680
<v Speaker 2>legislation for climate change, he's passed more legislation or got

384
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.400
<v Speaker 2>more things through for climate change than any president in history.

385
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 2>What I'm getting at is what folly it is to

386
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:06.559
<v Speaker 2>believe that we are going to change climate cycles. I mean,

387
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 2>that's what I think. I just think that I don't

388
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.519
<v Speaker 2>know where I come down on the issue on the

389
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:14.759
<v Speaker 2>causes and effects and all of that. I'm going to

390
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.720
<v Speaker 2>profess my ignorance. But one thing I do know is

391
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>that we as individuals and as one country or another

392
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 2>cannot change the climate.

393
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:25.000
<v Speaker 22>Yeah.

394
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 8>One volcano, one big volcano is equal to what I forget.

395
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:31.960
<v Speaker 8>It's like years, you know, years and years and years

396
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.200
<v Speaker 8>of vis and years of oil and smoke and everything.

397
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:39.240
<v Speaker 8>Or a huge fire like in Canada or Colorado, same thing.

398
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Look, there is something going on, and Joe, in general,

399
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I believe we should all be good stewards of the environment.

400
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Obviously we don't want to purposely damage our earth. But

401
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm when I talked about evs, it had nothing to

402
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 2>do with you know, climate change or do it for

403
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 2>this or do it for that, or sustainable energy. I

404
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.480
<v Speaker 2>just like evs and think they're a great alternative, and

405
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I like stuff like that, and I like solar systems

406
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.000
<v Speaker 2>for homes because it can save you money. So anyway,

407
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.400
<v Speaker 2>so what's going on with your oil change?

408
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 21>I'm just curious what the curate that current thought process

409
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:25.119
<v Speaker 21>is on whether or not an oil change is necessary

410
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 21>after your first thirty thousand miles in a new vehicle.

411
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:31.920
<v Speaker 22>Jeff, Oh, I definitely would. Yeah. So I mean you've

412
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:34.079
<v Speaker 22>got all sorts of stuff that you know it's wearing in,

413
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:36.279
<v Speaker 22>so you're going to have particular that's going to actually

414
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 22>accumulate there. You want to get it out.

415
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 6>When would you do it, Jeff? On a new car, when.

416
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Would you do it?

417
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 22>One thousand mile mark that he just mentioned is a

418
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:46.759
<v Speaker 22>good point. That's a good place to go. I mean

419
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 22>you probably go up to two thousand, or maybe even

420
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.519
<v Speaker 22>twenty five hundred. But yeah, an early oil change, I

421
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:52.799
<v Speaker 22>would consider it necessary.

422
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 17>Yes, all right, I appreciate that.

423
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:57.200
<v Speaker 6>I'll do it.

424
00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:57.759
<v Speaker 14>Now.

425
00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 2>What kind of car do you have? Man? You can't

426
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 2>get off that easy?

427
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 6>A kind of car?

428
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 21>I don't want to say, because I'm scared to death

429
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.160
<v Speaker 21>that the training's gonna fail on me after.

430
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:09.680
<v Speaker 2>What is it?

431
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 17>No, it's an one?

432
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

433
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:16.599
<v Speaker 22>Yeah, they're having problems with those ten speeds out there

434
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:17.000
<v Speaker 22>right now.

435
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.839
<v Speaker 2>You said that last week.

436
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 7>There there must be a ton of problems.

437
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 22>There is a ton of problems.

438
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:22.839
<v Speaker 7>What is the main deal?

439
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.039
<v Speaker 22>They're just a lot of the engineering and a lot

440
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Speaker 22>of what they put into it. You know, the trash

441
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:30.400
<v Speaker 22>can that's in there, it's aluminum, you know. Now the

442
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.799
<v Speaker 22>aftermarket's come out with a steel want to fix it it?

443
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:34.880
<v Speaker 22>The converters have a captive clutching there that does not

444
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.440
<v Speaker 22>work properly. We've gotten them bad right out of the box.

445
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:41.160
<v Speaker 22>The new solenoids they've got in there, they actually worked

446
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:43.880
<v Speaker 22>like a mechanical solenoid. They don't they're not diverting oil.

447
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 22>They actually push on the valves themselves. The keepers actually

448
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 22>start to wear out the solenoids are moving in and

449
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.720
<v Speaker 22>out of the Voel bodies, causing all sorts of shift complaints,

450
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:55.200
<v Speaker 22>poor design, poor design, flat out Wow.

451
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 20>So they're trying to be there.

452
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:01.160
<v Speaker 21>I think, in my opinion, they were possibly over an

453
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:04.480
<v Speaker 21>engineering it to be green compliant.

454
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 22>Well, the engineers were actually mechanics themselves, so they understood

455
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:13.119
<v Speaker 22>the car. Yeah, they're just engineers.

456
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:17.039
<v Speaker 8>Well, and plus a lot of those regulations were rolled back. Man,

457
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:20.319
<v Speaker 8>I mean we're going to start seeing cars built better, hopefully, hopefully.

458
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what. It's a really really nice looking truck, though,

459
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>isn't it? Man? It's really nice, look nicely, Joe, what

460
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:30.240
<v Speaker 2>color did you get?

461
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.400
<v Speaker 21>It's gray, beautiful of dark gray and a platinum so

462
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:37.880
<v Speaker 21>it's got all the bells and whistles.

463
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:38.599
<v Speaker 20>It's a beauty.

464
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:40.319
<v Speaker 21>It drives like a dream.

465
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Now do you need a pickup or did you just

466
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:44.319
<v Speaker 2>get it because you liked the vehicle?

467
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.720
<v Speaker 17>I do not need a pickup.

468
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.160
<v Speaker 21>I haven't driven anything but a pickup for thirty or

469
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 21>forty years.

470
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.079
<v Speaker 2>There's funny, Oh boy, isn't that funny? There are so

471
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.519
<v Speaker 2>many people like Joe, and I'm wondering how many if

472
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you had to make an admission right now, have a

473
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:10.720
<v Speaker 2>car for other reasons other than mission, Like the mission

474
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:12.880
<v Speaker 2>would be of you're a contractor, you need to pick up.

475
00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:15.759
<v Speaker 2>But if you are not a contractor and you don't

476
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.640
<v Speaker 2>ever use a pickup. You know, how many people are

477
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:21.319
<v Speaker 2>there that have cars they don't need, Like there are

478
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:26.119
<v Speaker 2>people that have SUVs they would never use, or vehicles

479
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 2>that are excellent for off roading, but they never off road.

480
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious how many people buy cars for just

481
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, just for what they I do for Yeah,

482
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 2>just because you like it, right, you don't look.

483
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 6>At the mission, Just like with the EV you have.

484
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 2>You love the EV. You love all the all the

485
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 2>bells and whistles and the self driving and all of that.

486
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.279
<v Speaker 2>So but I wonder how many, Jeff, I wonder how

487
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.519
<v Speaker 2>many people you get in there that have a vehicle

488
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.160
<v Speaker 2>because they need it or is it just because? You know?

489
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.680
<v Speaker 22>I never tend to ask that question.

490
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't. Yeah, I know it's not a question that's

491
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 2>often asked. Anyway. We have more coming up. I'm Tom Martino. Hey,

492
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 2>welcome to the show. I have a fun index that

493
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to go over when we have time on

494
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the most American made cars, even though some cars are

495
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>assembled here. If you take all of their if you

496
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.400
<v Speaker 2>take all of their components and stuff and add them

497
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.160
<v Speaker 2>all up, there's a score this one website, dude on

498
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the most and the least most American made cars. Anyway,

499
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.839
<v Speaker 2>let's go back to the phones here, John, you have

500
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:43.839
<v Speaker 2>a follow up from a year ago. Now, what did

501
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 2>we do a year ago with this problem? Let's just

502
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.559
<v Speaker 2>start there. What did we do because I can't find

503
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.400
<v Speaker 2>it anywhere.

504
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 14>Well, I had called you to let you know about Palmetto.

505
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Solar and what was the problem at the time.

506
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:02.039
<v Speaker 6>What was the problem at the time.

507
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 14>What they had told me is that they had to

508
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.759
<v Speaker 14>remove the.

509
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 13>Oak tree in on the south lawn.

510
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.640
<v Speaker 14>Before it would have enough sun to do.

511
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 2>You know what that kind of that kind of rings

512
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.880
<v Speaker 2>a bell with me. So are you still calling about

513
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.319
<v Speaker 2>that same issue or what are you calling about?

514
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.519
<v Speaker 14>I just wanted to call you and give you an updated.

515
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.759
<v Speaker 23>Yeah.

516
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:31.759
<v Speaker 14>They said that they were going to remove the tree

517
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 14>with no cost to me. And I had an agreement

518
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:39.960
<v Speaker 14>with a guy named Scott Anderson who set up the

519
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 14>whole thing, that there would be no talk of any

520
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 14>financing until the.

521
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 13>System was turned on and tested. So they come out

522
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:51.400
<v Speaker 13>to turn.

523
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 14>It on and test it. And I had asked them.

524
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.119
<v Speaker 14>I said, well, you said you're going to remove the

525
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:59.079
<v Speaker 14>tree first, so let's get that done.

526
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:04.240
<v Speaker 13>And then I pretended, like you know, they never said.

527
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.200
<v Speaker 14>They were going to that, They never said they needed

528
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 14>to remove the tree. And I was confused, and I said, well,

529
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 14>first of all.

530
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 13>Uh, you said you had to remove it and you were.

531
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:15.880
<v Speaker 14>Going to test the system before we talked.

532
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:20.880
<v Speaker 2>About Yeah, Bro, John John, let's just John without John,

533
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:24.880
<v Speaker 2>without John, without having that in writing, none of it's

534
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.880
<v Speaker 2>going to matter because they're just going to deny it.

535
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:34.519
<v Speaker 14>Exactly. But what I'm getting at is the person that

536
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.519
<v Speaker 14>set up the whole thing, Scott Anderson, said it would

537
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 14>be tested to prove that it would produce enough electricity

538
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 14>to cover my electric bild before they even talk.

539
00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:47.519
<v Speaker 2>I want to I want to talk hold on a

540
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:50.039
<v Speaker 2>say I know why you're calling. I I know why

541
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>you're calling, even though it's been a year, because you

542
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 2>were you you had the system without any payment whatsoever,

543
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and now that they want to be paid, now you're

544
00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:59.680
<v Speaker 2>bringing up problems. What I want to know is why

545
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.759
<v Speaker 2>weren't why weren't you working on these problems for the

546
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:03.359
<v Speaker 2>past year.

547
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:08.799
<v Speaker 14>I have I hired a lawyer. They paid the lawyer off.

548
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:09.640
<v Speaker 14>She went away.

549
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Wait a minute, John, John, Wait, John, John, you can't

550
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:17.680
<v Speaker 2>make statements like that and keep going. You said you

551
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.079
<v Speaker 2>hired a lawyer and they paid her off. Now that's

552
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.920
<v Speaker 2>a pretty serious accusation, and that alone, right hold on, John,

553
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.119
<v Speaker 2>that alone, right there will win you your case. So

554
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.519
<v Speaker 2>what proof do you have that this took a payoff?

555
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.640
<v Speaker 14>Because she gave me my two thousand dollars retainer back

556
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:45.720
<v Speaker 14>and said that you either take their deal or leave.

557
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:48.720
<v Speaker 6>Okay, why do you believe that?

558
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:53.079
<v Speaker 2>So? So do you have do you have proof? Every

559
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:54.680
<v Speaker 2>once in a while, John, I want you to listen

560
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>to me. Do they Do you have proof of a

561
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:02.519
<v Speaker 2>payoff from them to her?

562
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:07.480
<v Speaker 14>No, just the fact that she paid me back the retainer.

563
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Is it possible?

564
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.920
<v Speaker 6>I want to ask you a question.

565
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.279
<v Speaker 17>Is it possible put two and two together?

566
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:19.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, is it possible? Is it possible that this

567
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:23.480
<v Speaker 2>attorney really thought what they were offering was the best deal?

568
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.160
<v Speaker 2>And I think she sounds like an exceptional attorney. You see,

569
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.720
<v Speaker 2>some attorneys lie to their clients and make them spend

570
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money over a non issue.

571
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:36.920
<v Speaker 6>Now, what I'd like to do is look at the issue.

572
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:41.720
<v Speaker 2>You had a palmetal palmetto install the solar system and

573
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.119
<v Speaker 2>when did you notice you had a problem with the system?

574
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 6>Was it ever activated?

575
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.799
<v Speaker 14>I found out when I started getting calls from goodly

576
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:58.480
<v Speaker 14>pancing companies saying that I owed them forty six thousand dollars.

577
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:02.920
<v Speaker 2>See John, I'm not talking to John, have you Okay,

578
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:05.839
<v Speaker 2>let's put John on hold. Unless John can answer my

579
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:09.119
<v Speaker 2>questions and stay on topic, I'm not gonna help them. Okay,

580
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:12.319
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing we can do. I know why he's calling.

581
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.119
<v Speaker 2>He's calling because he owes money. That's why he's calling.

582
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:17.640
<v Speaker 2>But I want to talk about the system, and if

583
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.240
<v Speaker 2>you let me, I can help you if you answer questions.

584
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.759
<v Speaker 6>More coming up on The Troubleshooter.

585
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:38.640
<v Speaker 23>Show, ripped up, need you don't help? Running?

586
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:44.200

587
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.200
<v Speaker 5>Man Dix is the Troubleshooter Show.

588
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:50.759
<v Speaker 2>No Tom Martine, Hello Tom Martina.

589
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:51.000
<v Speaker 24>Here.

590
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Today is Car Day on the Troubleshooter Show. In our

591
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:59.200
<v Speaker 2>forty fifth year, solving problems, answering questions and taking complaints.

592
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.920
<v Speaker 2>And it's car So on Friday we concentrate on car calls,

593
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>but we'll take any call, any and all calls, and

594
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 2>any problem question complain. So cars dot Com did a

595
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 2>a survey, not a survey, a research project where they

596
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 2>went to each and every make and model of each

597
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:20.800
<v Speaker 2>and every car, and they looked at every component, and

598
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.440
<v Speaker 2>they looked at where the cars are assembled and came

599
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.639
<v Speaker 2>up with a score on what's most American made? And

600
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:30.559
<v Speaker 2>obviously it's Tesla, but not all models. The Tesla why

601
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:35.880
<v Speaker 2>is the number one? Well, not one percent, but most

602
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:43.159
<v Speaker 2>American made car? It's the model why Tesla. Honda Passport

603
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 2>is second. So they looked they even break it down

604
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:52.119
<v Speaker 2>into models. Hey, let's talk now, John, you have a

605
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:56.199
<v Speaker 2>solar system problem, but I need to get some basics

606
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:01.280
<v Speaker 2>when you how long ago did you have that system installed?

607
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:05.400
<v Speaker 14>A little over a year ago?

608
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay? And and at the time, how much did you pay?

609
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:14.920
<v Speaker 25>Uh?

610
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.480
<v Speaker 14>That was what I was calling you about the agreement

611
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:19.440
<v Speaker 14>I had with Scott Anderson.

612
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:22.159
<v Speaker 2>What do you do I want to know. I don't

613
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:24.400
<v Speaker 2>want to know the agreement with Scott Anderson because that

614
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.440
<v Speaker 2>won't hold up it will. I need the agreement you

615
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 2>had in writing. What agreement did you have in writing?

616
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.199
<v Speaker 14>That's the only agreement I had in writing? That he

617
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:37.480
<v Speaker 14>was going to design the system and test it and

618
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:39.639
<v Speaker 14>then we would talk about the finances.

619
00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Talk about what by talking about the finances, are you

620
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:48.599
<v Speaker 2>telling me you had no idea what this system was

621
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:49.360
<v Speaker 2>going to cost you?

622
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 14>That's exactly what, right, That's what he told me.

623
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:56.519
<v Speaker 2>So, so if it what? What if it turned out

624
00:35:56.519 --> 00:36:02.559
<v Speaker 2>to be five hundred thousand dollars? What would you have done.

625
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:04.800
<v Speaker 14>Five hundred thousand?

626
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.599
<v Speaker 2>John? I'm John. You just told me that you had

627
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.360
<v Speaker 2>no idea. John, You just told me you had no

628
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:16.000
<v Speaker 2>idea how much this system was going to cost you.

629
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:19.239
<v Speaker 2>You had no idea. You you made a contract that

630
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:21.559
<v Speaker 2>was playing okay?

631
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:22.159
<v Speaker 6>Good?

632
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Did the contract have a price on it?

633
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.920
<v Speaker 14>He said, if I will, if I agreed to the

634
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:35.559
<v Speaker 14>installation and the test, that we would talk about the

635
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 14>contract in the range of forty six thousand dollars.

636
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.039
<v Speaker 2>And that's what the contract says. We're going to do

637
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a test first and then talk about the system. Yeah.

638
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I told them, Okay, I need to see a copy

639
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:52.719
<v Speaker 2>of the contract. Do you have a dude, listen, I

640
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:54.280
<v Speaker 2>think we can help you a lot. Do you have

641
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:55.440
<v Speaker 2>a copy of the contract.

642
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:57.280
<v Speaker 14>Do you have the contract? No?

643
00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay? It was so so you don't if you don't

644
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.320
<v Speaker 2>have a copy of the contract in agreement, you don't

645
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.360
<v Speaker 2>have a copy of the contract. But you you're telling

646
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:11.639
<v Speaker 2>me the contract says that. Beat there. You're telling me

647
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that the contract says before they do anything, they're going

648
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.639
<v Speaker 2>to build a complete system and test.

649
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:23.360
<v Speaker 14>It correct because I was wanting to make sure that

650
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:24.960
<v Speaker 14>it produced enough electricity.

651
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:30.039
<v Speaker 2>I get it. So your contract, said, Bill, Your contract

652
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.320
<v Speaker 2>says that first they're going to build a system and

653
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.960
<v Speaker 2>let you test it and will not hold you responsible

654
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 2>until after that.

655
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:45.360
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, that's what I signed in front of Scott Anderson.

656
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, Mark, don't you think that's a slam dunk victory?

657
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.320
<v Speaker 7>I don't believe it.

658
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.199
<v Speaker 6>What don't you believe? I don't just said I.

659
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.440
<v Speaker 8>Don't think anybody's gonna be if I'm understanding this right,

660
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.840
<v Speaker 8>They're going to build the whole system and make sure

661
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.119
<v Speaker 8>it does what and then if the guy doesn't like it,

662
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:03.679
<v Speaker 8>he's not gonna have to pay for it.

663
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:05.199
<v Speaker 7>I guess I'm a little loss.

664
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Did they Yeah? John? If the test didn't work, John,

665
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:11.840
<v Speaker 2>if the test didn't work, then what what did the

666
00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:13.079
<v Speaker 2>contracts say they would do?

667
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.679
<v Speaker 13>But we never got to that point.

668
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Now, John, is what did you? May I ask something?

669
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Are you are? I want to ask a question. Are

670
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:26.480
<v Speaker 2>you working right now? Do you have a career or

671
00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:27.280
<v Speaker 2>are you retired?

672
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.119
<v Speaker 14>I am a truck driver. I can't deliver at.

673
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:34.519
<v Speaker 7>I'd like to see the contract. Why don't you send

674
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.599
<v Speaker 7>us over that contract?

675
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't have the contract? Oh well, he has no contract.

676
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.559
<v Speaker 2>So here's what John is telling how the.

677
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:44.960
<v Speaker 14>Police report the the Aurora.

678
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.880
<v Speaker 6>Wait, wait, wait, a police report for what?

679
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:50.199
<v Speaker 14>The lawyer got a copy of it for the pro

680
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:54.880
<v Speaker 14>is there? Admitted? Because they went and John playing it?

681
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:57.719
<v Speaker 6>Okay, tell us about the police report.

682
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:05.679
<v Speaker 14>Go ahead, okay, because they took that the agreement that

683
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.920
<v Speaker 14>I had with Scott and wrote up a different agreement

684
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:16.800
<v Speaker 14>they called an installation agreement, and they grafted my signature

685
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.000
<v Speaker 14>onto that saying that that's what I signed, was not

686
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.840
<v Speaker 14>what I signed.

687
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So you're gonna tell me even if we get

688
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 2>a copy of the contract, it's gonna be fraudulent. Yeah.

689
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:32.639
<v Speaker 14>And it's been filed with the the Aurora Police Department

690
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:35.039
<v Speaker 14>and the Colorado State Attorney General's Office.

691
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and that John, I'm gonna give you some news.

692
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give you some news. I want to give

693
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.199
<v Speaker 2>you some news that you're not gonna you're not gonna like,

694
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:45.559
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna tell you you're gonna lose this case.

695
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.480
<v Speaker 14>I've never even had had the case go to court, yet.

696
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 6>It will and you're gonna lose.

697
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:57.679
<v Speaker 14>They they won't They won't take me to court because

698
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.440
<v Speaker 14>they won't even test the system that they agreed to

699
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:02.599
<v Speaker 14>test before.

700
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:08.480
<v Speaker 2>We John John no one wrote, no One wrote A. Now,

701
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I believe there could have been There could have been

702
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.199
<v Speaker 2>a salesperson that lied to you. There could be to

703
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:16.920
<v Speaker 2>get a commission. They lied to and said, hey, John,

704
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:19.320
<v Speaker 2>don't worry about it. But we don't have to worry

705
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:22.119
<v Speaker 2>about this. We don't have to worry about any of

706
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.519
<v Speaker 2>this until it's up and running and we test it. Mark,

707
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I believe there could have been a salesperson who lied

708
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:29.280
<v Speaker 2>to him and tried to get it.

709
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:31.679
<v Speaker 8>Decide does that have to do with anything? If there's

710
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:34.360
<v Speaker 8>no proof when you're in court.

711
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:34.679
<v Speaker 6>Right nothing.

712
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.880
<v Speaker 2>What I'm saying to John is if he has a

713
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:41.159
<v Speaker 2>system on, does the system operate right now? John?

714
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:45.000
<v Speaker 14>No, they've never turned it on.

715
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so he has a system, you know where there

716
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:52.039
<v Speaker 2>was a basic Wait a second, he has a system

717
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.480
<v Speaker 2>it was never activated. He claims they did not hold

718
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:57.920
<v Speaker 2>up their end of the bargain and their promises. He

719
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 2>has no proof of those promises in and he said

720
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:04.840
<v Speaker 2>any proof that they offer will be fraudulent because they

721
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>forged his signature. Go ahead, that's it in a Hutchhow.

722
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:11.360
<v Speaker 7>Here's a real attorney. Have a copy of it?

723
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 9>Can he get it from his attorney?

724
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:17.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not a question of getting it doc because it

725
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.679
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter if we get a copy of the contract.

726
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.719
<v Speaker 2>He's simply gonna say they forged his name. He is

727
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:26.320
<v Speaker 2>a moving target.

728
00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:30.159
<v Speaker 8>Well, listen, here's something that might actually work. Brooke has

729
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:34.079
<v Speaker 8>told us numerous times that most of these finance companies

730
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.559
<v Speaker 8>do not get or most of the people getting paid

731
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:41.039
<v Speaker 8>by the finance companies the solar companies, if they can't

732
00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:44.840
<v Speaker 8>get it on and turned on onto the grid, generally

733
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.800
<v Speaker 8>she can get the loan canceled and they'll go back

734
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:51.280
<v Speaker 8>after the installer. Let's ask her about that, because that's

735
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:53.599
<v Speaker 8>the only real out I see for this guy.

736
00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I Mark, here's the thing. He's got all these things

737
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:04.320
<v Speaker 2>that were promised to him and John, you really.

738
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:06.800
<v Speaker 10>Do know, I forget that they had said that they

739
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:09.199
<v Speaker 10>had to remove the oak tree on the south lawn

740
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:13.000
<v Speaker 10>before it would actually get enough sun to work. That's

741
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:14.119
<v Speaker 10>their words.

742
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:16.000
<v Speaker 2>And man, how are you gonna be done?

743
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:17.719
<v Speaker 6>How are you going to prove those words?

744
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:18.039
<v Speaker 2>John?

745
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:19.360
<v Speaker 6>How are you going to prove him?

746
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:25.719
<v Speaker 14>Well, you're subpoena. You get them in court and you

747
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:28.239
<v Speaker 14>have them testified to what they had told you about

748
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:29.440
<v Speaker 14>the system.

749
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and they're gonna admit it.

750
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:32.639
<v Speaker 6>They're gonna admit it.

751
00:42:32.679 --> 00:42:33.719
<v Speaker 2>They're going to admit.

752
00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:34.880
<v Speaker 10>Everything that you just have to.

753
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, really, so they wouldn't. They could never lie.

754
00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:42.400
<v Speaker 2>That's impossible.

755
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.079
<v Speaker 14>They're gonna lie in front of me after they already

756
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:48.360
<v Speaker 14>promised me this in front of John.

757
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:51.480
<v Speaker 6>Have you seen an attorney about this that you?

758
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:52.400
<v Speaker 10>You did see.

759
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.800
<v Speaker 2>An attorney, John, didn't you? And when you saw an attorney,

760
00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:57.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll just keep talking as well as you're talking, because

761
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you're not listening. Your attorney said to take the deal.

762
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:02.000
<v Speaker 2>What deal were they offering?

763
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:07.960
<v Speaker 14>Oh like four hundars less than the forty six thousand?

764
00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So your attorney looked at this and must have

765
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:22.400
<v Speaker 2>thought they had a solid contract would make what would

766
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:25.840
<v Speaker 2>make you happy right now? What would make you happy

767
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 2>right now?

768
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.920
<v Speaker 13>I would be happy if they if they tested the system, improved.

769
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:36.159
<v Speaker 14>It worked, and if it does, then what cover the electricity?

770
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:38.159
<v Speaker 6>Let's say it does, then.

771
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:39.920
<v Speaker 14>Electricity of my electric bill.

772
00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Let's say they test it and it.

773
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.039
<v Speaker 14>Works like Scott Anderson promised.

774
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's say Scott Anderson is gone, so forget about that.

775
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's say they test the system and it's producing electricity.

776
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Then what.

777
00:43:56.840 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 14>We see how much electric If it covers or more

778
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.039
<v Speaker 14>than covers of the deal, then I got a deal right.

779
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:05.480
<v Speaker 14>If it doesn't, ever and hold on the center of

780
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:10.280
<v Speaker 14>the deal, like the referrals you hear online, John, you're.

781
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:12.400
<v Speaker 6>Making up Okay, just forget it.

782
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's We can't help John, Honest to God,

783
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to take this case.

784
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:17.719
<v Speaker 6>We can't help him.

785
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:20.880
<v Speaker 2>He makes up terms and conditions as he goes along.

786
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:23.199
<v Speaker 2>He says, you know, I heard online ten percent of

787
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the deal. I mean, he's making up terms and conditions

788
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.159
<v Speaker 2>as he goes and he talks about Scott Anderson as

789
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:33.800
<v Speaker 2>if it's biblical truth. He's not going to win this case.

790
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:37.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a losing battle, and we're wasting our time. We

791
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:40.599
<v Speaker 2>are absolutely wasting our time. We got more coming up

801
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:21.599
<v Speaker 2>to say this. I do want to help people.

802
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:22.400
<v Speaker 14>Now.

803
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.960
<v Speaker 2>One guy said, Tom, you didn't help that guy at all. Well,

804
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I did help the people listening. I helped the people

805
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:35.119
<v Speaker 2>listening know not to be such a stupid person. I mean,

806
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:38.840
<v Speaker 2>that guy is so ignorant. He doesn't even know how

807
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.360
<v Speaker 2>ignorant he is. See, those are the worst kind of

808
00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:43.960
<v Speaker 2>people that think they have facts and figures. And he's

809
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna go win. This guy had nothing in writing, nothing,

810
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:49.719
<v Speaker 2>and the stuff that was in writing. He's going to

811
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.280
<v Speaker 2>insist his signature was forged, and he will decide to

812
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:56.800
<v Speaker 2>pay for the system based on how much electricity it generates.

813
00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Then he'll talk about it. He truly believes that that

814
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:05.239
<v Speaker 2>company needs to cowtow to his all of his terms

815
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:06.320
<v Speaker 2>and conditions.

816
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:08.599
<v Speaker 8>And they don't even care because they got paid by

817
00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:09.760
<v Speaker 8>the finance company.

818
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:11.280
<v Speaker 7>They really don't give a crap.

819
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:14.159
<v Speaker 2>And then here's the other thing. He says his attorney

820
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:16.480
<v Speaker 2>was paid off anyone who doesn't agree with him.

821
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:18.559
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's a shame.

822
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:21.920
<v Speaker 2>It's truly a shame that he's a hard working truck

823
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.440
<v Speaker 2>driver and this man is going to go through life

824
00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:26.480
<v Speaker 2>getting flim flims his whole life.

825
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:28.880
<v Speaker 8>He really should, though, reach out, and I hope he's

826
00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:31.960
<v Speaker 8>still listening. You need to reach out to the finance

827
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.159
<v Speaker 8>company and tell them they never turned it on, they

828
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:38.559
<v Speaker 8>never finished the job. If that part's true, you might

829
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:39.840
<v Speaker 8>have something there.

830
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you know every day, I mean, come on,

831
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:48.000
<v Speaker 2>forty five years and fifty years elsewhere, if you count

832
00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:51.280
<v Speaker 2>up my career, I have to call it like it is.

833
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes there are people that are just stupid.

834
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.840
<v Speaker 6>Is that bad to say they're just stupid?

835
00:46:59.000 --> 00:46:59.079
<v Speaker 14>No?

836
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:03.000
<v Speaker 2>And okay, so now let's talk to Richard about his

837
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:07.800
<v Speaker 2>excel smart meters, not stupid meters, but smart meters. Richard,

838
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:08.639
<v Speaker 2>what's going on?

839
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:16.760
<v Speaker 26>Okay, So I've got solar on, I have a house

840
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:18.880
<v Speaker 26>and a garage, separate meters.

841
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:20.360
<v Speaker 6>Do you like Solar?

842
00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind it?

843
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:28.400
<v Speaker 7>Okay, what was the hell of a could you elaborate

844
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:30.320
<v Speaker 7>on that question though? What does that mean?

845
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 25>Well?

846
00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:36.360
<v Speaker 26>I got it because I've seen the power belt keep

847
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:40.159
<v Speaker 26>going up and up, and I figured at least with Solar, i'd.

848
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:41.159
<v Speaker 22>Have one even payment.

849
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So so continue your story. So you have solar,

850
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you have a meter on your garage in your house.

851
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Keep going yep.

852
00:47:53.760 --> 00:48:00.400
<v Speaker 26>So the way it was set up is the would

853
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:05.880
<v Speaker 26>credit the garage first and then aggregate down to the house.

854
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's been.

855
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:14.320
<v Speaker 26>Perfect last three years. I've always produced way more power

856
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:17.039
<v Speaker 26>than I needed for both buildings. So my bill has

857
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:19.039
<v Speaker 26>been about twenty two dollars on each building.

858
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's pretty good.

859
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:27.440
<v Speaker 26>So, and that's just all the connection fees stuff like that.

860
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, how long have you had the system?

861
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:34.480
<v Speaker 6>How long have you had the system?

862
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:38.079
<v Speaker 26>June will be I think four years?

863
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:39.559
<v Speaker 6>Okay, got it.

864
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:47.960
<v Speaker 26>So when they put the smart meters on the first

865
00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:51.800
<v Speaker 26>month or the first ball I got, the garage was

866
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:55.039
<v Speaker 26>two hundred and twelve dollars and the house is two

867
00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:55.920
<v Speaker 26>hundred and fifty.

868
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:02.320
<v Speaker 2>What give me nothing? Else changed. Your bill went from

869
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:07.719
<v Speaker 2>twenty two dollars a month to over two hundred. Yes, sir,

870
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:13.960
<v Speaker 2>nothing else changed, No, sir, what the hell is going on?

871
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:17.599
<v Speaker 26>And so I called him and I was like, hey,

872
00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:19.920
<v Speaker 26>since the smart meter has been on, what's going on?

873
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:21.280
<v Speaker 26>Why is my bill so high?

874
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:24.559
<v Speaker 2>And they gave me, well.

875
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:25.360
<v Speaker 22>I don't know.

876
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:28.559
<v Speaker 26>I don't think your solar's producing. I'm like, well, according

877
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:29.480
<v Speaker 26>to my app it is.

878
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:31.079
<v Speaker 23>Well.

879
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Did you also tell him that your history has been

880
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:37.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty two dollars a month? Yeah? I told him.

881
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:39.679
<v Speaker 26>I was like, look back at my previous bills for

882
00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:44.719
<v Speaker 26>the last three years. You'll see that it's I have solo.

883
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:48.920
<v Speaker 26>That's why why my bills are solo. And then this

884
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:52.039
<v Speaker 26>last bill I got because they said, okay, we'll look

885
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:53.360
<v Speaker 26>in do it get back to you, and of course

886
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:55.960
<v Speaker 26>they never did, so I got another bill.

887
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, by the way, was the smart meter something you

888
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:02.559
<v Speaker 2>selected that you wanted to do or did they tell

889
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you you had.

890
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:07.280
<v Speaker 26>To do it that I got an email said we're

891
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.880
<v Speaker 26>coming out to install smart meters on your property and

892
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:11.760
<v Speaker 26>that was pretty much.

893
00:50:11.800 --> 00:50:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Yet, well, there's got to be an explanation.

894
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:20.000
<v Speaker 8>There's no way your usage goes here's the deal, and

895
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:22.559
<v Speaker 8>I think Brooke can probably talk to this better. But

896
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:25.480
<v Speaker 8>the bottom line is because of that smart meter, what

897
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:30.000
<v Speaker 8>I'm guessing is it's not registering the overflow of electricity

898
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:32.760
<v Speaker 8>that they're buying from him, or that's going back to

899
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:34.960
<v Speaker 8>the grid. I bet you that's it. I just have

900
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:36.760
<v Speaker 8>no idea how that's rectified.

901
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:40.920
<v Speaker 2>We got to get Brooke on. Let's try to get

902
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.840
<v Speaker 2>her on. I mean, we do, okay, So anyway, what

903
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 2>what tell me the latest? What is the latest you're hearing?

904
00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:48.719
<v Speaker 2>And what's going on with it?

905
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:50.000
<v Speaker 25>Well?

906
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:52.719
<v Speaker 26>My second bill was five hundred and fifty dollars for

907
00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:53.239
<v Speaker 26>the shop?

908
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:57.800
<v Speaker 2>What what do you do in that shop?

909
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:01.960
<v Speaker 26>On a car on the weekend occasionally?

910
00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:09.360
<v Speaker 2>And and your bill's five hundred dollars fifty?

911
00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:13.119
<v Speaker 26>Oh my god, I thought he said fifty nothing.

912
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.159
<v Speaker 7>So there's definitely a problem here.

913
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's just mark it went from twenty two dollars to

914
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:21.320
<v Speaker 2>five hundred and fifty.

915
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:23.519
<v Speaker 7>When was the smart meter installed?

916
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:23.880
<v Speaker 14>It?

917
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:25.639
<v Speaker 7>Did all this come about after?

918
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:27.480
<v Speaker 26>Yes, sir?

919
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:29.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, okay, let's get her on. She'll know the answer.

920
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:32.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, Let's just hold on a second. We got

921
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:35.000
<v Speaker 2>to figure out this guy's getting screwed.

922
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:38.320
<v Speaker 7>And then, I mean there's no way till Susanna Attixel.

923
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:41.159
<v Speaker 7>We absolutely do, so I can send it over to her.

924
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:43.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, let's get info of what they need to look at,

925
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:46.280
<v Speaker 8>and we can get dishandled and get you that credit.

926
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:48.639
<v Speaker 6>Bro Yeah, there's got it.

927
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, Richard, what's the latest that Excel tells you though?

928
00:51:51.719 --> 00:51:52.639
<v Speaker 2>What's the latest?

929
00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:56.000
<v Speaker 26>I talked to him two weeks ago and I said,

930
00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:59.440
<v Speaker 26>I looked on your website and seeing these meters are optional,

931
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:00.840
<v Speaker 26>I want I'm off my building.

932
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good, good?

933
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:03.639
<v Speaker 6>What did they say?

934
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:09.079
<v Speaker 26>They said they'll schedule something and get back to me

935
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:15.599
<v Speaker 26>for the house. And they said the garage, even though

936
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:20.880
<v Speaker 26>it's personal, since it's an outbuilding, is considered commercial and

937
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.360
<v Speaker 26>everybody in the commercial side is out until July.

938
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:27.440
<v Speaker 6>Are you kidding? What are you kidding me?

939
00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I.

940
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:31.559
<v Speaker 26>Asked them for their business plan, so this is like

941
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:32.079
<v Speaker 26>a joke.

942
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:38.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like a joke, man, Yes, sir, Okay, hold on,

951
00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the show on Carday. And by the way,

952
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:16.840
<v Speaker 2>some of the top selling vehicles happen to be the

953
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:21.320
<v Speaker 2>top depreciating vehicles as categories go.

954
00:53:21.960 --> 00:53:23.039
<v Speaker 6>In the first five years.

955
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:30.440
<v Speaker 2>For example, evs, SUVs, hybrids, and trucks are the top

956
00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:36.199
<v Speaker 2>four categories for depreciation. They're also the top four categories

957
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:43.519
<v Speaker 2>for sales. Isn't that weird? So people are buying and

958
00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:46.639
<v Speaker 2>they're saying, Hey, you know that's because people don't really

959
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:53.639
<v Speaker 2>understand depreciation. In fact, I doubt anyone checks figures for

960
00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:55.760
<v Speaker 2>depreciation on models.

961
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:56.960
<v Speaker 6>I know I didn't.

962
00:53:57.000 --> 00:53:59.760
<v Speaker 2>If I did, I would have found that in all

963
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:05.320
<v Speaker 2>of the cars in all of the categories mine the

964
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:11.679
<v Speaker 2>specific series I bought for BMW ranks number two in depreciation.

965
00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:16.639
<v Speaker 6>The only thing worse is the Maserati.

966
00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:19.000
<v Speaker 7>Well electrics.

967
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Well actually mark on this on this particular let me

968
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:28.280
<v Speaker 2>see here, I wonder why the two things. Nope, I'd

969
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:32.960
<v Speaker 2>appreciate more than you do, way more. Yeah. And now

970
00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:38.039
<v Speaker 2>now electrics and they are up there, but not what

971
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:40.960
<v Speaker 2>you think. For example, on a list of the top twenty,

972
00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Tesla's number nineteen Tesla Model S, I'm number two.

973
00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:50.880
<v Speaker 7>Wow wa, wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm doing

974
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:53.119
<v Speaker 7>just a quick little research here.

975
00:54:53.599 --> 00:54:57.079
<v Speaker 8>What's my honey, Tom and hold on? The number one

976
00:54:57.159 --> 00:54:59.199
<v Speaker 8>is an electric car? That's that Jaguar.

977
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're looking at a five year depreciation schedule marked

978
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:13.199
<v Speaker 2>from MSRP and this poll done.

979
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:16.800
<v Speaker 8>By Yeah, this says Jaguar I Pace is number one,

980
00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:18.559
<v Speaker 8>followed by the BMW.

981
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:22.599
<v Speaker 2>I have the Jaguar as nine. But anyway, okay, so

982
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm still number two though, okay, you know it's I'm

983
00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:28.159
<v Speaker 2>not proud of it. By the way, I'm not bragging saying,

984
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:33.079
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, cool, it's nothing to brag about. And not

985
00:55:33.159 --> 00:55:35.159
<v Speaker 2>only on them. Let me just go back to the phones.

986
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting myself pissed off. So what are we doing

987
00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:40.320
<v Speaker 2>with what We're already taking care of the smart meter,

988
00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:42.800
<v Speaker 2>aren't we? So I I don't want to take that

989
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:49.679
<v Speaker 2>back again. Let's let's talk to Christopher with a window company.

990
00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:51.239
<v Speaker 2>Christopher what's going on with you?

991
00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:53.639
<v Speaker 12>How are you doing, Tom?

992
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:54.800
<v Speaker 2>What's happening man?

993
00:55:55.840 --> 00:56:02.480
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, So recently I had several windows were placed in

994
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:05.119
<v Speaker 12>a bush that I'm fixing up.

995
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and what kind of windows did you get?

996
00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Just new?

997
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:19.920
<v Speaker 12>What would they be made out of? Yes, vinyl? Sorry

998
00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:27.880
<v Speaker 12>what brand? I don't know the brand. But I got

999
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:31.320
<v Speaker 12>it through a company here in town. I price out

1000
00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:35.559
<v Speaker 12>for a few different people. I obviously went through Anderson

1001
00:56:35.639 --> 00:56:39.000
<v Speaker 12>and some of the more known companies. And this guy

1002
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:42.760
<v Speaker 12>had some good prices. Seemed like a decent fella.

1003
00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:45.320
<v Speaker 2>And who is it? Who is this? Who is this

1004
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:46.239
<v Speaker 2>decent company?

1005
00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:47.039
<v Speaker 6>And fella.

1006
00:56:48.400 --> 00:56:50.760
<v Speaker 12>All windows and doors plus.

1007
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:53.000
<v Speaker 6>Okay, and how did you find it?

1008
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:57.719
<v Speaker 12>He was referred to me by another contractor.

1009
00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Actually, okay, so keep going with your story.

1010
00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:07.440
<v Speaker 12>So the house that I'm fixing up is actually two

1011
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.880
<v Speaker 12>houses in one. It was a law office and I'm

1012
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:14.760
<v Speaker 12>turning it into a duplex. So he did half of

1013
00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:18.880
<v Speaker 12>the house, no real issues. Second side of the house,

1014
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:23.880
<v Speaker 12>he had a few windows that he measured incorrectly. Had

1015
00:57:23.920 --> 00:57:26.519
<v Speaker 12>to come back and reinstall those. But the reason why

1016
00:57:26.559 --> 00:57:29.320
<v Speaker 12>I'm calling is in the back, I have a big

1017
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:33.719
<v Speaker 12>bay window that overlooks the Pike's Peak in the front range,

1018
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:37.960
<v Speaker 12>and rather than enlarging it, which I had asked him

1019
00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:42.039
<v Speaker 12>to do, he made it smaller. And now he has

1020
00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:45.599
<v Speaker 12>claimed that I owe him the money for it, that

1021
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:48.519
<v Speaker 12>I signed the contract and therefore I'm on the hook.

1022
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:52.920
<v Speaker 12>Even though I explicitly told him I wanted it to

1023
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:55.760
<v Speaker 12>be larger. I didn't go back through the contract and

1024
00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:58.000
<v Speaker 12>look at every single measurement and line it up with

1025
00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:01.559
<v Speaker 12>the windows. So I feel like that that is my fault. However,

1026
00:58:01.679 --> 00:58:06.039
<v Speaker 12>I do feel that you know, she agreed to make

1027
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.679
<v Speaker 12>it bigger, and that that would be on him.

1028
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:10.079
<v Speaker 11>What are your thoughts?

1029
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Christopher, you have a contract, and I don't think

1030
00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:17.880
<v Speaker 2>any of us ever go through each and every item

1031
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:22.559
<v Speaker 2>on the contract and measure up or even or I mean,

1032
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:25.599
<v Speaker 2>we don't look at a lot of specifications. We here's

1033
00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:28.519
<v Speaker 2>what all. Here's what most of us do. We talk

1034
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to the guy or the woman, they make up a contract,

1035
00:58:33.840 --> 00:58:37.119
<v Speaker 2>and then we sign it and we assume everything we talk.

1036
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I know it's really weird, but that's what we do.

1037
00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, technically, technically, you probably did agree. When you

1038
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:47.360
<v Speaker 2>go back and look at the contract, does it have

1039
00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:51.119
<v Speaker 2>the correct size? I mean not the correct But does

1040
00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:56.639
<v Speaker 2>the size in the contract match what they put in? Yes?

1041
00:58:57.159 --> 00:58:58.480
<v Speaker 6>Yes, okay.

1042
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:04.000
<v Speaker 12>Now I asked for a sixty inch with to twenty

1043
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:06.559
<v Speaker 12>four inch on either side, and he put in a

1044
00:59:06.599 --> 00:59:11.239
<v Speaker 12>forty three inch with to twenty four inches on either side.

1045
00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Now, when you did the original contract and you

1046
00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:18.840
<v Speaker 2>said you wanted it bigger, you wanted it bigger than what?

1047
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Was there an existing window in there? Was there an

1048
00:59:23.320 --> 00:59:27.639
<v Speaker 2>existing window? Is it the same size as the previous

1049
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:28.840
<v Speaker 2>window or smaller?

1050
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:31.599
<v Speaker 12>It's the exact same size.

1051
00:59:32.079 --> 00:59:33.039
<v Speaker 6>Okay, got it.

1052
00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:38.199
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any kind any kind of notes or

1053
00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:41.679
<v Speaker 2>stuff that he wrote to you or anything to indicate

1054
00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:43.840
<v Speaker 2>that you wanted it bigger?

1055
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:49.239
<v Speaker 12>Well, I was with my designer at the time, and

1056
00:59:49.320 --> 00:59:53.480
<v Speaker 12>when she was drawing up the plans for the building department,

1057
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:56.920
<v Speaker 12>she actually put in a sixty inch window. Who did

1058
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:59.280
<v Speaker 12>then my designer?

1059
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Is your designer? Does your designer work for the contractor

1060
01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:10.079
<v Speaker 2>all windows and doors? No? Will your designer testify that

1061
01:00:10.159 --> 01:00:12.840
<v Speaker 2>she heard the conversations between the two of.

1062
01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:15.960
<v Speaker 12>You, Yes, as would my contractor.

1063
01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, Christopher, listen to what I listen to contract, Christopher,

1064
01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:26.840
<v Speaker 2>and listen to listen to what I'm asking. Will they

1065
01:00:26.960 --> 01:00:31.360
<v Speaker 2>testify that they heard directly, not you saying what it was,

1066
01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:36.199
<v Speaker 2>but you talking to the supplier All Windows and Doors,

1067
01:00:36.599 --> 01:00:39.559
<v Speaker 2>and that you clearly made it that you wanted a

1068
01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>bigger window in the back. Will they do that?

1069
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:44.639
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely?

1070
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So your contractor, your designer, and who's All Windows

1071
01:00:51.000 --> 01:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>and Doors? If they're not your contractor, who are they?

1072
01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:58.400
<v Speaker 12>Just the supplier, the supplier and installer.

1073
01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so your contractor, they worked under your contractor.

1074
01:01:07.800 --> 01:01:10.360
<v Speaker 12>So All Windows and Doors was a name that was

1075
01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:13.920
<v Speaker 12>given to me by somebody that works in the industry

1076
01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:17.159
<v Speaker 12>a while ago. And the contractor I'm working with now

1077
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:18.840
<v Speaker 12>has no relationship with him.

1078
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, but the contractor'rect the contractor you're working with, did

1079
01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the whole project. Is that right?

1080
01:01:29.559 --> 01:01:32.039
<v Speaker 12>So he's doing the entire project, and I would say

1081
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:35.159
<v Speaker 12>that the windows are outside of his purview I hired.

1082
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what you're hold on, that's what you're saying.

1083
01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:43.119
<v Speaker 2>But why didn't he notice if he heard you say

1084
01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:47.719
<v Speaker 2>I want these windows bigger? I'm going to ask you

1085
01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:50.800
<v Speaker 2>straight up, Christopher, was this guy there when they were

1086
01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>putting the windows in.

1087
01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:56.119
<v Speaker 12>Or the contractor there when they're putting the windows in? Yes,

1088
01:01:56.159 --> 01:01:59.719
<v Speaker 12>and he said this window seems smaller, called me, I

1089
01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:00.760
<v Speaker 12>was at the office.

1090
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hold on, So you had knowledge before it was

1091
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>completed that they were installing something smaller.

1092
01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:13.360
<v Speaker 12>They had, they were already in the process of installing it.

1093
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>And what did you do? Okay? And what did you do?

1094
01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Did you stop them?

1095
01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:23.000
<v Speaker 12>As soon as I got home, I called them and said, hey,

1096
01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:25.519
<v Speaker 12>I think you made a mistake. This window is not

1097
01:02:25.639 --> 01:02:26.719
<v Speaker 12>what we had talked about.

1098
01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay. And what did they say? Then?

1099
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:33.679
<v Speaker 12>He said, well, I'm looking at our contract here and

1100
01:02:33.719 --> 01:02:35.840
<v Speaker 12>it says we have a forty three inch window and

1101
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:37.320
<v Speaker 12>this is what you signed.

1102
01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Right, gotcha? Gotcha? Now, when did you have a discussion

1103
01:02:44.400 --> 01:02:48.920
<v Speaker 2>about making it larger? Where the designer and the contractor

1104
01:02:49.199 --> 01:02:53.239
<v Speaker 2>were present. Describe that conversation. You guys were all sitting

1105
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:54.199
<v Speaker 2>around a table or what.

1106
01:02:56.280 --> 01:02:58.360
<v Speaker 12>We went through the house, looked at what windows were

1107
01:02:58.400 --> 01:02:59.840
<v Speaker 12>going to replace, and.

1108
01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:03.599
<v Speaker 2>All four of you, all four of you, walked through

1109
01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:07.559
<v Speaker 2>the house and talked about Okay, this is good stuff, Christopher,

1110
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>all four of you walk through the house. And those

1111
01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:15.920
<v Speaker 2>two will say that you definitely made it clear you

1112
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>wanted a bigger window. Yeah, But then the contractor will

1113
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>say he even brought up to you that they were

1114
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>putting in a smaller window.

1115
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:31.960
<v Speaker 12>But I may have misspoke when the window had already

1116
01:03:31.960 --> 01:03:35.239
<v Speaker 12>gone in. He said, this doesn't seem like the size

1117
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:36.800
<v Speaker 12>that we had talked about.

1118
01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>It was after it was already okay, after it was

1119
01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:45.559
<v Speaker 2>already installed. Okay, Well that's good. Okay, gotcha. So will

1120
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:50.199
<v Speaker 2>they offer any kind of solution whatsoever, maybe even a

1121
01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>cost adjustment? Or are you saying it's so hideous you

1122
01:03:54.119 --> 01:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>want it either enlarged or taken out and you won't

1123
01:03:58.400 --> 01:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>settle for anything else.

1124
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:03.079
<v Speaker 12>You know. I even told him I was willing to

1125
01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:06.199
<v Speaker 12>just split the difference in cost if it's more expensive,

1126
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:10.239
<v Speaker 12>and I would split the labor to have the windows

1127
01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:13.119
<v Speaker 12>taken out and then reinstalled. And he told me to

1128
01:04:13.199 --> 01:04:13.760
<v Speaker 12>kick rocks.

1129
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:17.559
<v Speaker 6>Who are you dealing with it? All windows and doors?

1130
01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Plus who is it is?

1131
01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:20.960
<v Speaker 12>You want his name?

1132
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1133
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:24.800
<v Speaker 12>His name is Haven Haven Scott.

1134
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Haven Scott sounds like a movie star. Listen, man, this

1135
01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:33.960
<v Speaker 2>is a tough one. Mark. The contract has a forty

1136
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>eight inch window and that's what he got or forty three.

1137
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:37.519
<v Speaker 6>Whatever it is.

1138
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>And yet he had discussions saying he wanted a bigger window.

1139
01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:46.920
<v Speaker 8>It's codect the only real proof unless the other person

1140
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:48.400
<v Speaker 8>acknowledges they screwed up.

1141
01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:49.639
<v Speaker 7>Is going to be the contract?

1142
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, the contractor and the designer were there.

1143
01:04:53.679 --> 01:04:57.280
<v Speaker 8>Hey, here's the good news. It's not bigger and he

1144
01:04:57.360 --> 01:04:59.880
<v Speaker 8>wanted it smaller, because no hell of a thing did

1145
01:05:00.599 --> 01:05:03.239
<v Speaker 8>he wanted it bigger. Yeah, I know which I'm saying.

1146
01:05:03.280 --> 01:05:05.920
<v Speaker 8>They can probably cut out. Well maybe not. Actually I

1147
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:07.079
<v Speaker 8>don't know how they framed it.

1148
01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but how important is it because this is gonna

1149
01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:19.199
<v Speaker 2>be an expensive battle more right after this? Hi, Tom Martino,

1150
01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:21.559
<v Speaker 2>your troubleshooter three oh three seven one three eight two

1151
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:22.400
<v Speaker 2>five five.

1152
01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:26.280
<v Speaker 6>Christopher, here's what I think.

1153
01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're gonna if this ends up in court, let's

1154
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:33.239
<v Speaker 2>just say first and foremost, I want to dispel something,

1155
01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:37.559
<v Speaker 2>and this is something you I hope you believe it's

1156
01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>even if you don't want that window, your option is

1157
01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>not to pay zero for it. You can't claim it

1158
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:53.119
<v Speaker 2>has zero value. Okay, but but you do have a

1159
01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>somewhat of a dispute. I think that you're gonna lose

1160
01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:01.639
<v Speaker 2>this just based on the fact that you sign the contract.

1161
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:03.719
<v Speaker 2>And I agree with you, by the way, and I

1162
01:06:03.800 --> 01:06:06.719
<v Speaker 2>believe you one hundred percent. I believe you one hundred percent.

1163
01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Many times, salespeople just want to make a sale. And

1164
01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:13.679
<v Speaker 2>I swear to God, they say things and they nod

1165
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>their heads and they get people to sign. Like that

1166
01:06:16.519 --> 01:06:19.079
<v Speaker 2>guy with the solar system, I'm.

1167
01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:20.400
<v Speaker 6>Positive that he was lied to.

1168
01:06:21.199 --> 01:06:24.079
<v Speaker 2>But when it gets down to court, mark and I

1169
01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:28.239
<v Speaker 2>have seen our share of cases where the judge doesn't care.

1170
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I swear to you, it almost it's almost brutal.

1171
01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:34.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not like they say, oh, this poor homeowner up

1172
01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:38.159
<v Speaker 2>against this big contractor. They don't do that. And when

1173
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>and when your people try to try to submit ear

1174
01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:45.079
<v Speaker 2>witness testimony that they were there when you talked about it,

1175
01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:49.239
<v Speaker 2>they're going to say, here's the way it would go. Okay,

1176
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>so he wanted it enlarged. What size did he say

1177
01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:58.119
<v Speaker 2>he wanted and what will they answer? What will they answer?

1178
01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:00.599
<v Speaker 2>They'll say, well, we don't know. He just said he

1179
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:06.559
<v Speaker 2>wanted it larger. Well, then then shouldn't he have measured

1180
01:07:06.599 --> 01:07:10.599
<v Speaker 2>it and checked it? In other words, I'm just telling

1181
01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:14.639
<v Speaker 2>you the bad news. First, I think you're gonna lose it.

1182
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:18.639
<v Speaker 2>But if you want to fight it properly, the way

1183
01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:21.760
<v Speaker 2>to do it is to pay the bill and then

1184
01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>go after them for the differential and then use the

1185
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:29.840
<v Speaker 2>testimony of those two people and that all keeps it

1186
01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:33.440
<v Speaker 2>within small claims court. But if you try to do

1187
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:35.880
<v Speaker 2>it any other way, you're going to spend a lot

1188
01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:48.079
<v Speaker 2>of money for nothing. In my opinion, I'm Tom Martinet.

1189
01:07:52.679 --> 01:07:53.239
<v Speaker 10>You don't have.

1190

<v Speaker 2>cars today. It's Friday, It's car Day. We've had a

1203
01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:44.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of different car issues. We'll go with it right now.

1204
01:08:44.760 --> 01:08:47.880
<v Speaker 2>And then we're also were talking about things you remember

1205
01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:51.960
<v Speaker 2>from your childhood, and we were talking about some of

1206
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the drinks and one that I associated always with New York.

1207
01:08:57.159 --> 01:08:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why, but it's the egg cream. You'd

1208
01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:01.880
<v Speaker 2>go to a soda fountain they call it, and you

1209
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:03.840
<v Speaker 2>sit down and have an egg cream, and an egg

1210
01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:08.399
<v Speaker 2>cream would be an egg, seltzer, water and flavoring. And

1211
01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>then they did away with the egg but they still

1212
01:09:10.640 --> 01:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>did some cream and some dairy along with seltzer and

1213
01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:20.039
<v Speaker 2>a flavoring, usually vanilla or chocolate. And then one of

1214
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:23.640
<v Speaker 2>the biggest treats I always had, and you just don't

1215
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:25.039
<v Speaker 2>see it around that much anymore.

1216
01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:26.279
<v Speaker 6>Are you Who's.

1217
01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Us a big deal?

1218
01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:31.319
<v Speaker 7>You Who's everywhere you can buy?

1219
01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Are they still everywhere? Okay? Okay? And then I love

1220
01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you who with barbecue potato chips? That used to be

1221
01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:43.039
<v Speaker 2>my jam. I don't eat barbecue potato chips anymore, but

1222
01:09:43.079 --> 01:09:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I I remember it went went on a summer day.

1223
01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:48.800
<v Speaker 2>We'd go and get cold you Who's and have some

1224
01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:52.520
<v Speaker 2>barbecue chips. I I thought I died. I went to

1225
01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:56.319
<v Speaker 2>heaven the first time I tasted a barbecue chip. Anyway,

1226
01:09:56.640 --> 01:09:58.199
<v Speaker 2>what I'd like to do is, if you have any

1227
01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:03.079
<v Speaker 2>go on YouTube or gone or text me, uh five

1228
01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>seven seven three nine. I'd like to know some of

1229
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:08.800
<v Speaker 2>your favorites from your kid growing up. Another thing that

1230
01:10:08.880 --> 01:10:10.960
<v Speaker 2>used to be big that I don't see a lot of.

1231
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Of course I'm seventy one. That could be why I

1232
01:10:12.840 --> 01:10:14.680
<v Speaker 2>don't see a lot of it. But you don't see

1233
01:10:14.760 --> 01:10:19.319
<v Speaker 2>kids with it anymore. Wax stuff, wax lips, wax teeth.

1234
01:10:19.560 --> 01:10:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember that wax mustag like little wax soda.

1235
01:10:22.520 --> 01:10:25.399
<v Speaker 7>Bottles with them in the office here?

1236
01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:29.119
<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, wax teeth from the local candy store, gas

1237
01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:29.920
<v Speaker 8>girl Friday.

1238
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the wax used to be so freaking weird. You

1239
01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>would wear the wax, of course, just as a joker.

1240
01:10:36.039 --> 01:10:39.479
<v Speaker 2>Then you would take it and chew it anyway. Jerry

1241
01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:41.680
<v Speaker 2>wants to talk about a car sale. Jerry, what's going

1242
01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:43.039
<v Speaker 2>on with you? Welcome to the show.

1243
01:10:44.479 --> 01:10:47.119
<v Speaker 27>Yeah, I went on Monday with my granddaughter to buy

1244
01:10:47.119 --> 01:10:50.640
<v Speaker 27>a car. She and everyone, Well, we got the little

1245
01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:52.840
<v Speaker 27>flip that present five days that.

1246
01:10:55.159 --> 01:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Two days later, what kind of wait, wait, tell me first,

1247
01:10:57.840 --> 01:10:59.159
<v Speaker 2>what kind of car did you buy?

1248
01:11:00.399 --> 01:11:03.439
<v Speaker 27>It's twenty ten Nissan Morano.

1249
01:11:03.960 --> 01:11:06.159
<v Speaker 2>And how many miles.

1250
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:09.319
<v Speaker 27>Ninety three ninety eight thousand miles.

1251
01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:13.239
<v Speaker 2>Ninety eight thousand, and what did you pay?

1252
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:15.560
<v Speaker 27>I want to say, sixty four hundred.

1253
01:11:17.239 --> 01:11:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Fish all right, do you have the radio on?

1254
01:11:21.479 --> 01:11:22.880
<v Speaker 27>Yeah, I'll turn that off the bat.

1255
01:11:23.239 --> 01:11:26.520
<v Speaker 2>It's really confusing as hell. Yeah, So he bought a

1256
01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:31.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty ten Nissan Morano ninety eight thousand miles for about

1257
01:11:31.159 --> 01:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>six grand. Right, okay, so what's the problem.

1258
01:11:36.439 --> 01:11:37.439
<v Speaker 27>Yeah, so no problem?

1259
01:11:37.479 --> 01:11:38.119
<v Speaker 14>Will we got it?

1260
01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:40.960
<v Speaker 27>Two days later, the check engine light on went on.

1261
01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:43.880
<v Speaker 27>She had not got an admission, but when she went

1262
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:46.279
<v Speaker 27>to like AutoZone to get the report on why the

1263
01:11:46.359 --> 01:11:49.439
<v Speaker 27>check edgin light on, it came back saying that it

1264
01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:54.359
<v Speaker 27>will pass, it will fail emissions. I reached out to.

1265
01:11:53.399 --> 01:11:54.680
<v Speaker 2>The sales guy.

1266
01:11:55.199 --> 01:11:58.800
<v Speaker 27>He assuredly they would address it, but they can't get

1267
01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:01.800
<v Speaker 27>it fixed for they have their own auto guys. They

1268
01:12:01.880 --> 01:12:04.479
<v Speaker 27>kind of get a six till two days? Is there

1269
01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:06.680
<v Speaker 27>anything more I need to do at this point?

1270
01:12:06.680 --> 01:12:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Broll you you better, Jerry, you better protect yourself because

1271
01:12:10.800 --> 01:12:13.640
<v Speaker 2>here's what I think is going to happen. I don't

1272
01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>know this dealer from anywhere. You didn't mention the dealer,

1273
01:12:16.039 --> 01:12:22.079
<v Speaker 2>but you have a window to get that that that emissions,

1274
01:12:22.319 --> 01:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and if it doesn't pass and you go past that window,

1275
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:26.680
<v Speaker 2>you're screwed.

1276
01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:28.560
<v Speaker 6>So what was the deadline?

1277
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:33.880
<v Speaker 27>It will be five days from Monday. So I'm guessing

1278
01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:35.840
<v Speaker 27>what Saturday, Do.

1279
01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:37.039
<v Speaker 6>Not keep the car?

1280
01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm telling you that if you hold on, you

1281
01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:47.159
<v Speaker 2>either get a new voucher or you return the car.

1282
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:50.359
<v Speaker 22>If you keep test so that you've got a failed emission.

1283
01:12:50.479 --> 01:12:54.439
<v Speaker 2>So you stand on. Yeah, do you have the failed emissions?

1284
01:12:56.399 --> 01:12:57.159
<v Speaker 14>I know.

1285
01:12:57.279 --> 01:12:59.720
<v Speaker 27>So all I have is the indicator for model zone

1286
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:01.399
<v Speaker 27>saying it will not pass the mission.

1287
01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Jerry, that's not good man.

1288
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:05.319
<v Speaker 7>You've got to go try to get it to pass.

1289
01:13:06.000 --> 01:13:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Right, No, that's not good enough.

1290
01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:09.800
<v Speaker 7>You better go do it today. Man.

1291
01:13:10.039 --> 01:13:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Now, Jerry, I'm gonna tell you something. Listen carefully. The

1292
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:17.399
<v Speaker 2>emissions is not a warranty program. Because here's what I

1293
01:13:17.399 --> 01:13:20.680
<v Speaker 2>want to tell you. We've had people in this situation

1294
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>where they go to pass emissions and the guy says,

1295
01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:28.119
<v Speaker 2>it's not going to pass emissions by the way, you

1296
01:13:28.199 --> 01:13:31.199
<v Speaker 2>need it needs some adjustment. Now you take it to

1297
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:35.680
<v Speaker 2>a mechanic. The mechanic says the engine's bad. However, it

1298
01:13:35.720 --> 01:13:39.039
<v Speaker 2>will pass emissions if I adjust this carburetor here, or

1299
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.239
<v Speaker 2>adjust the air mixture, adjustice, or adjust that. And you

1300
01:13:42.359 --> 01:13:45.680
<v Speaker 2>might think to yourself, oh no, don't adjust it. If

1301
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:48.359
<v Speaker 2>it's got a bad engine. I want to return it.

1302
01:13:48.359 --> 01:13:51.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not you can't use it for that. In other words,

1303
01:13:52.039 --> 01:13:55.159
<v Speaker 2>if you can make a slight adjustment, even with a

1304
01:13:55.239 --> 01:13:59.159
<v Speaker 2>bad engine, and it will pass emissions, that's the only

1305
01:13:59.279 --> 01:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>responsible ability the dealer has with you is that at

1306
01:14:03.039 --> 01:14:07.199
<v Speaker 2>pass emissions, not that it pass emissions with flying colors,

1307
01:14:07.680 --> 01:14:10.800
<v Speaker 2>not that it pass emissions with a new engine. That

1308
01:14:10.920 --> 01:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>at pass emissions even if it limps by. You got

1309
01:14:15.760 --> 01:14:16.439
<v Speaker 2>to keep.

1310
01:14:16.239 --> 01:14:16.960
<v Speaker 7>That in mind.

1311
01:14:17.319 --> 01:14:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Do not let them delay you. Go get the failure

1312
01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>if it does fail, and take the car back. And

1313
01:14:26.079 --> 01:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>if they say to you, if you give us a

1314
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:33.279
<v Speaker 2>few days, we will fix it, make them issue you

1315
01:14:33.720 --> 01:14:40.039
<v Speaker 2>a new voucher. Okay. Now, now, Jerry, I have some

1316
01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:44.079
<v Speaker 2>questions for you on this. You bought it as is.

1317
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Did you get it checked out?

1318
01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:48.600
<v Speaker 14>No?

1319
01:14:50.560 --> 01:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Did it occur to you that that would be

1320
01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:57.800
<v Speaker 2>a good idea.

1321
01:14:58.800 --> 01:15:01.840
<v Speaker 27>I occurred to me that there were no indicator lights

1322
01:15:01.960 --> 01:15:05.640
<v Speaker 27>or anything. And that's what I rambling. Oh kay, were

1323
01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:08.119
<v Speaker 27>no issues on the life and you know everything.

1324
01:15:08.359 --> 01:15:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Didn't say check Jerry, Jerry, that's not a good indication

1325
01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:15.479
<v Speaker 2>that there are no lights. That's not a very that

1326
01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:18.159
<v Speaker 2>that's only a small, small indication of his health.

1327
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:21.079
<v Speaker 6>But listen, here's what you need to do now.

1328
01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:25.359
<v Speaker 2>In my opinion, I would get a used car checkout

1329
01:15:25.439 --> 01:15:28.479
<v Speaker 2>right now. Get the failed emissions and the reason I

1330
01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:31.479
<v Speaker 2>tell you to get a used car checkout, so if

1331
01:15:31.479 --> 01:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>they say to you, you know, we're going to fix

1332
01:15:36.680 --> 01:15:39.840
<v Speaker 2>it so it passes emissions, you can make sure it's

1333
01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:45.279
<v Speaker 2>not one of those major problems lurking you're gonna have,

1334
01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:47.520
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna you might have a tough time in my

1335
01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:52.880
<v Speaker 2>pass emissions. I don't know, Hey, Jeff, what does that

1336
01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:56.119
<v Speaker 2>auto parts to or do to predict whether it's going

1337
01:15:56.199 --> 01:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>to pass?

1338
01:15:56.600 --> 01:15:57.680
<v Speaker 14>Do they actually run it?

1339
01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:01.800
<v Speaker 22>They've got some cheaper hand health scanners. It'll pull you know,

1340
01:16:02.319 --> 01:16:04.640
<v Speaker 22>the majority of codes. They don't always go deep enough

1341
01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:05.720
<v Speaker 22>to get to the rest of them.

1342
01:16:05.920 --> 01:16:08.399
<v Speaker 2>And then they'll did auto is it AutoZone that did this?

1343
01:16:10.159 --> 01:16:12.680
<v Speaker 27>Yeah, this is my granddaughter. She took it there and

1344
01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:13.720
<v Speaker 27>sent me the report.

1345
01:16:14.239 --> 01:16:14.479
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

1346
01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:18.479
<v Speaker 22>And then basically people say, okay, you'll you'll pe seven

1347
01:16:18.520 --> 01:16:20.960
<v Speaker 22>one three, and they'll tell them what that code is

1348
01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:23.399
<v Speaker 22>and they you know, there's usually a recommendation for whatever

1350
01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:28.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, here's something that's really weird. They love it

1351
01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:31.800
<v Speaker 2>when he called and said the reader said it won't pass,

1352
01:16:32.119 --> 01:16:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and they said, don't worry about it, we'll take care

1353
01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:36.079
<v Speaker 2>of it next week. They're trying to get them past

1354
01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:38.680
<v Speaker 2>that grace period. How many times have we seen that

1355
01:16:38.760 --> 01:16:41.640
<v Speaker 2>mark where they go past that grace period and they're screwed,

1356

1390
01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:32.079
<v Speaker 28>same thing my phone. If I think of a song,

1391
01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:35.279
<v Speaker 28>it'll already have it when I go press it.

1392
01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Wait a minute, if you think, Wait, if you think

1393
01:18:39.279 --> 01:18:39.680
<v Speaker 2>of a.

1394
01:18:39.640 --> 01:18:44.079
<v Speaker 28>Song, it'll already be there, no matter how random it is.

1395
01:18:44.760 --> 01:18:46.000
<v Speaker 28>Because I'm being spied.

1396
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:49.000
<v Speaker 2>On, just like Yeah, but it doesn't spot Hold on, Frank,

1397
01:18:49.680 --> 01:18:51.359
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't read your mind.

1398
01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:57.720
<v Speaker 8>He probably talks out loud, doesn't realize he's talking right anyway.

1399
01:18:57.760 --> 01:18:59.439
<v Speaker 2>What did you call about today, Frank?

1400
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:04.920
<v Speaker 28>I called because I want to wondering if I could

1401
01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:09.399
<v Speaker 28>put some cell towers at my house. I live in Cheyenne,

1402
01:19:09.399 --> 01:19:12.079
<v Speaker 28>Wyo means and of course I would have to check

1403
01:19:12.119 --> 01:19:16.319
<v Speaker 28>with the municipalities. But a friend of mine they approached

1404
01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:18.560
<v Speaker 28>him and they said, hey, we'll pay you this much

1405
01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:18.920
<v Speaker 28>a month.

1406
01:19:19.159 --> 01:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, And you don't, by the way, you

1407
01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:24.520
<v Speaker 2>don't have to check with your municipality at all. All

1408
01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:28.000
<v Speaker 2>you have to do is this, call the cell phone

1409
01:19:28.039 --> 01:19:33.680
<v Speaker 2>companies and tell them that you are willing to grant

1410
01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:37.680
<v Speaker 2>them the rights to put up a tower. Okay, that'll work,

1411
01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and then they will do they will do the research

1412
01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to make sure it will work on their grid, and

1413
01:19:44.960 --> 01:19:48.159
<v Speaker 2>then they do all of the application process and all

1414
01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:52.520
<v Speaker 2>of that. But remember, just because you want it doesn't

1415
01:19:52.560 --> 01:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>mean it's going to be allowed. It may not be allowed, right,

1416
01:19:56.079 --> 01:19:58.359
<v Speaker 2>but you can get you can get paid for it.

1417
01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And I know people who have rural property that love

1418
01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:06.680
<v Speaker 2>these things. How much is your friend getting paid.

1419
01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:09.439
<v Speaker 3>I think they're.

1420
01:20:09.279 --> 01:20:12.680
<v Speaker 28>Giving them about three hundred bucks a month. And it's

1421
01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:13.720
<v Speaker 28>only one company.

1422
01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it's just a small tower.

1423
01:20:18.439 --> 01:20:20.279
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, Okay, it's.

1424
01:20:20.159 --> 01:20:22.239
<v Speaker 28>Just that I think it's ridiculous the ones that I

1425
01:20:22.319 --> 01:20:25.800
<v Speaker 28>see going towards Capital Rock because okay, they still look

1426
01:20:25.880 --> 01:20:29.239
<v Speaker 28>like some cell tower, but they put a couple of branches.

1427
01:20:29.560 --> 01:20:32.279
<v Speaker 8>You want to you want to call the cell tower company,

1428
01:20:32.359 --> 01:20:34.279
<v Speaker 8>So don't call up at and T. I mean, you're

1429
01:20:34.319 --> 01:20:38.279
<v Speaker 8>never going to talk to anybody. There's like r F Towers. Yeah,

01:23:08.279 --> 01:23:11.840
<v Speaker 20>the word non let alone refundable. Yeah, And we started

1483
01:23:11.880 --> 01:23:13.359
<v Speaker 20>to complain with them a little bit about it.

1484
01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:14.880

01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>come from?

1498
01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:50.359
<v Speaker 20>So I paid them via Venmo, which I have obviously

1499
01:23:50.399 --> 01:23:53.000
<v Speaker 20>the documentation for that, and I asked them very nicely,

1500
01:23:54.000 --> 01:23:56.479
<v Speaker 20>could you could you is.

1501
01:23:56.479 --> 01:23:59.119
<v Speaker 2>The name is the name of this company? Is the

1502
01:23:59.239 --> 01:24:00.000
<v Speaker 2>name of this company?

1503
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:05.079
<v Speaker 20>Any a r Yees are chimney pros.

1504
01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:06.239
<v Speaker 22>They're based in Lakewood.

1505
01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but why do they Here's what I don't understand.

1506
01:24:09.159 --> 01:24:12.399
<v Speaker 2>If they didn't expend any money, why do they think

1507
01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:14.800
<v Speaker 2>they should keep it? Or are they claiming they purchased

1508
01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:16.640
<v Speaker 2>money for your stuff for your job.

1509
01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:20.720
<v Speaker 30>No, they're not even saying any of that. Like, the

1510
01:24:20.880 --> 01:24:24.359
<v Speaker 30>property is ten minutes outside of us, that's park and

1511
01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:26.119
<v Speaker 30>I do a lot of money. I do a lot

1512
01:24:26.159 --> 01:24:28.840
<v Speaker 30>of renovations, and this is like a mountain hustle. This

1513
01:24:28.960 --> 01:24:29.760
<v Speaker 30>happens to.

1514
01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:32.880
<v Speaker 29>Me all the time. So when I called them, I said,

1515
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:34.840
<v Speaker 29>I'm not going to let you do this because I'm

1516
01:24:34.880 --> 01:24:36.600
<v Speaker 29>doing something for the community.

1517
01:24:37.039 --> 01:24:39.600
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter what it doesn't matter what the reason is, Andy,

1518
01:24:39.680 --> 01:24:41.359
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter what the reason is. They need to

1519
01:24:41.359 --> 01:24:43.199
<v Speaker 2>give your money back. I want to give this to

1520
01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Deputy doc. Doc. Are you there? What do you think

1521
01:24:45.960 --> 01:24:50.079
<v Speaker 2>of this? A bunch of they listen. Under the Contractor's

1522
01:24:50.119 --> 01:24:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Trust Act, they can't keep anything unless it was marked

1523
01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:58.000
<v Speaker 2>non refundable or it was used for the job. But

1524
01:24:58.039 --> 01:25:01.199
<v Speaker 2>then they'd have to prove that, Andy, these people should

1525
01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>not keep your money. I mean tells me. They the

1526
01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:06.880
<v Speaker 2>fact that they're not giving that money box tells me

1527
01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:09.159
<v Speaker 2>that they spent it. Let's have Doc call that.

<v Speaker 19>Well?

1553
01:26:17.159 --> 01:26:20.000
<v Speaker 3>We kind of touched base really briefly the other day

1554
01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:24.920
<v Speaker 3>about a auto repair shop in Littleton wait Waite.

1555
01:26:25.039 --> 01:26:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Was this when your car was on the side of

1556
01:26:27.359 --> 01:26:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the road.

1557
01:26:29.680 --> 01:26:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then yeah, it took me four months to

1558
01:26:32.720 --> 01:26:36.520
<v Speaker 3>raise money with like gofund me to pay for a

1559
01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:40.720
<v Speaker 3>new engine and got the car back.

1560
01:26:41.199 --> 01:26:43.479
<v Speaker 2>Let's back, let's back up a little. Now, you're the

1561
01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:48.800
<v Speaker 2>car that you had. How long had you had that car? Well?

1562
01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I just bought it in March of last year, and

1563
01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:56.880
<v Speaker 3>then I drove it up until August, I think when it.

1564
01:26:56.880 --> 01:27:00.159
<v Speaker 2>Broke and when you when you had it, Toad, So

1565
01:27:00.800 --> 01:27:04.079
<v Speaker 2>when your car stalled and it was towed to Tailor Automotive,

1566
01:27:04.520 --> 01:27:09.439
<v Speaker 2>that was back in August of twenty twenty five four.

1567
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:13.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I believe, so, I don't have the exact No,

1568
01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:14.199
<v Speaker 3>that's okay.

1569
01:27:14.399 --> 01:27:18.119
<v Speaker 2>Then what happened then in September? Well, okay, that's a

1570
01:27:18.159 --> 01:27:19.800
<v Speaker 2>long time ago. What happened after that?

1571
01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, because I'm a single mom of four and I

1572
01:27:24.640 --> 01:27:27.199
<v Speaker 3>had some injuries. I couldn't do massage anymore. My only

1573
01:27:27.279 --> 01:27:31.000
<v Speaker 3>job was Uber deliveries and yeah, so I lost my

1574
01:27:31.079 --> 01:27:34.399
<v Speaker 3>income and it took quite a while to pay.

1575
01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Was the engine blown? What was wrong with the car?

1576
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, honestly, it didn't like it didn't seem like it

1577
01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:43.359
<v Speaker 3>was just throwing a couple codes for like a camsheft.

1578
01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but what did Taylor say with what did Taylor

1579
01:27:46.159 --> 01:27:47.399
<v Speaker 2>say was wrong with the car?

1580
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Originally they told me it was just the timing, and

1581
01:27:51.680 --> 01:27:54.680
<v Speaker 3>then they told me that I needed to have a

1582
01:27:54.760 --> 01:27:56.960
<v Speaker 3>whole engine replacement and they were also going to do

1583
01:27:57.039 --> 01:28:01.439
<v Speaker 3>the redo the wiring for me. But cut to four

1584
01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:04.920
<v Speaker 3>months later. I had actually, like a local business paid

1585
01:28:04.960 --> 01:28:08.000
<v Speaker 3>a good portion of the cost for me and my

1586
01:28:08.079 --> 01:28:12.640
<v Speaker 3>kids to have the engine replaced. And after that, after

1587
01:28:12.680 --> 01:28:15.359
<v Speaker 3>I got it back late December, three days later, the

1588
01:28:15.359 --> 01:28:17.800
<v Speaker 3>bumper fell off and like the headlights.

1589
01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so let me get this straight. Let me get

1590
01:28:20.199 --> 01:28:22.720
<v Speaker 2>this straight. When did you finally get your car back?

1591
01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:26.039
<v Speaker 2>A friend paid for the repairs? And when did you

1592
01:28:26.079 --> 01:28:27.079
<v Speaker 2>get your car back?

1593
01:28:28.439 --> 01:28:31.560
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it was it was me and then a local business.

1594
01:28:31.199 --> 01:28:32.199
<v Speaker 3>And a friend.

1595
01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:32.720
<v Speaker 29>I got it.

1596
01:28:32.920 --> 01:28:35.239
<v Speaker 2>So when did you get your car back? If you

1597
01:28:35.279 --> 01:28:37.319
<v Speaker 2>could answer that, that would help me. When did you

1598
01:28:37.359 --> 01:28:38.039
<v Speaker 2>get it back?

1599
01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:41.600
<v Speaker 3>It was in late December, but it did go.

1600
01:28:41.640 --> 01:28:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay back to the shop okay, And so there were

1601
01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:48.159
<v Speaker 2>other problems. Did you ever get it back after that?

1602
01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so I got it back. It was just continual

1603
01:28:54.039 --> 01:28:58.399
<v Speaker 3>issues with the engine. And I have like videos and

1604
01:28:58.399 --> 01:28:59.199
<v Speaker 3>stuff where they.

1605
01:28:59.159 --> 01:29:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any would you have any warranty work

1606
01:29:01.560 --> 01:29:01.920
<v Speaker 2>on this?

1607
01:29:03.760 --> 01:29:03.920
<v Speaker 14>You know?

1608
01:29:04.079 --> 01:29:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Part of the problem was that they didn't even communicate

1609
01:29:08.640 --> 01:29:11.880
<v Speaker 3>with me and get my permission to do work that

1610
01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:12.640
<v Speaker 3>they were doing.

1611
01:29:13.000 --> 01:29:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Hold on a second, let me are you okay? Are

1612
01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>you saying you never authorized the work?

1613
01:29:21.439 --> 01:29:21.680
<v Speaker 12>Sorry?

1614
01:29:22.359 --> 01:29:25.600
<v Speaker 31>Cut out there, God Garbily, are you saying you never

1615
01:29:25.760 --> 01:29:28.000
<v Speaker 31>authorize them to work on your car?

1616
01:29:28.119 --> 01:29:29.520
<v Speaker 6>You didn't want this work.

1617
01:29:29.319 --> 01:29:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Done, not the work that they did once it was

1618
01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:35.600
<v Speaker 3>returned to them. They were didn't tell me what was.

1619
01:29:35.560 --> 01:29:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Going on when it was returned to them. What work

1620
01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:41.439
<v Speaker 2>I just need to know this. What work did they

1621
01:29:41.520 --> 01:29:43.520
<v Speaker 2>do that they were not authorized to do?

1622
01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:44.239
<v Speaker 6>What work?

1623
01:29:45.640 --> 01:29:48.119
<v Speaker 3>There was several things. What they would do is end

1624
01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:50.880
<v Speaker 3>up saying, oh, come pick up your car after a

1625
01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:53.159
<v Speaker 3>week or two, and then they would make up some

1626
01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:56.640
<v Speaker 3>story about what was wrong with it and often tried

1627
01:29:56.680 --> 01:30:00.279
<v Speaker 3>to blame me or even claimed that somebody.

1628
01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:04.119
<v Speaker 2>What work did they do that you did not authorize?

1629
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, part of it I don't know because they won't

1630
01:30:07.680 --> 01:30:12.600
<v Speaker 3>give me records. But they did do supposedly replace the

1631
01:30:12.760 --> 01:30:17.640
<v Speaker 3>oil filter housing, which they claimed a vandal broke in

1632
01:30:17.680 --> 01:30:20.520
<v Speaker 3>the middle of the night in my Highland's ranch. Neighborhood

1633
01:30:21.680 --> 01:30:22.960
<v Speaker 3>by doing an oil change.

1634
01:30:23.159 --> 01:30:27.600
<v Speaker 2>And Mary, Yeah, what work did they do that you

1635
01:30:27.680 --> 01:30:30.960
<v Speaker 2>did not authorize that you had to pay for? What

1636
01:30:31.039 --> 01:30:34.479
<v Speaker 2>work did you pay for that you did not authorize?

1637
01:30:35.079 --> 01:30:38.800
<v Speaker 3>For sure? I know that they claimed that they replaced

1638
01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:43.800
<v Speaker 3>multiple relays and again the same sensors that had already

1639
01:30:43.840 --> 01:30:44.720
<v Speaker 3>been And how.

1640
01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Much did you pay for the work you did not authorize?

1641
01:30:50.319 --> 01:30:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Somewhere around five hundred dollars. But they also were like

1642
01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:57.520
<v Speaker 3>charging me for parts that should have been included in

1643
01:30:57.560 --> 01:30:58.720
<v Speaker 3>the engine replacement.

1644
01:30:59.279 --> 01:31:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like what.

1645
01:31:02.039 --> 01:31:05.399
<v Speaker 3>Gaskets and seals? And I did send over the record

1646
01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:07.800
<v Speaker 3>from Audi of Denver the other night, and like, this

1647
01:31:07.960 --> 01:31:09.840
<v Speaker 3>engine repair is just completely botched.

1648
01:31:10.239 --> 01:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Well where let let me let me ask you something

1649
01:31:13.079 --> 01:31:16.399
<v Speaker 2>right now? Where does it stand? Where is your car

1650
01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:16.960
<v Speaker 2>right now?

1651
01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

1652
01:31:19.319 --> 01:31:22.479
<v Speaker 3>My car is sitting outside of Broadway Jewelry and Pond

1653
01:31:22.560 --> 01:31:24.880
<v Speaker 3>because I have a friend that works there who's a

1654
01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:28.279
<v Speaker 3>really nice guy. It's basically junk, Like I can't even

1655
01:31:28.520 --> 01:31:29.800
<v Speaker 3>it's not safe to drive.

1656
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:33.319
<v Speaker 2>So how many before this happened to your car? How

1657
01:31:33.319 --> 01:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>many miles were on it?

1658
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:39.399
<v Speaker 3>Somewhere around it was literally right around two hundred and

1659
01:31:39.399 --> 01:31:40.199
<v Speaker 3>twenty two thousand.

1660
01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:43.159
<v Speaker 2>What kind of car is it.

1661
01:31:43.159 --> 01:31:45.319
<v Speaker 3>It's a two thousand and eight AUTI a four.

1662
01:31:46.119 --> 01:31:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, do you understand that that car was worth nothing.

1663
01:31:51.000 --> 01:31:51.479
<v Speaker 6>At all?

1664
01:31:52.399 --> 01:31:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in other words, it was junk to begin with.

1665
01:31:56.640 --> 01:32:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Whatever they did, it's not great, but they did and

1666
01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:01.279
<v Speaker 2>cause it to be junk.

1667
01:32:03.560 --> 01:32:06.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, they did. They damaged a bunch of things, like

1668
01:32:06.359 --> 01:32:07.479
<v Speaker 3>the it's.

1669
01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:09.800
<v Speaker 2>A twenty it's a twenty year old car with two

1670
01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:12.479
<v Speaker 2>hundred and some thousand miles on it.

1671
01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:16.960
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I mean I paid for a whole new engine.

1672
01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:18.119
<v Speaker 2>That's how much did you pay?

1673
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:19.880
<v Speaker 6>By the way, how much did they charge for that?

1674
01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:22.159
<v Speaker 3>Four thousand dollars?

1675
01:32:22.600 --> 01:32:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Why would you spend that much money on a

1676
01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:26.840
<v Speaker 2>car that wasn't worth it?

1677
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:33.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm really low in home because of the injuries

1678
01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I had and just doing Uber deliveries. And one of

1679
01:32:36.039 --> 01:32:40.319
<v Speaker 3>the issues I've consistently have is you know, do you

1680
01:32:41.199 --> 01:32:43.479
<v Speaker 3>because I don't just have a large chunk of money

1681
01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:46.319
<v Speaker 3>all at once, and I couldn't finance car.

1682
01:32:46.880 --> 01:32:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Got it? I got it going. I understand car. So

1683
01:32:50.039 --> 01:32:52.319
<v Speaker 2>right now, Mary, right now, I need to know something.

1684
01:32:52.920 --> 01:32:53.720
<v Speaker 2>What do you want?

1685
01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:56.920
<v Speaker 3>I want a refund for the engine.

1686
01:32:58.000 --> 01:32:59.399
<v Speaker 6>You may be entitled to that.

1687
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:04.600
<v Speaker 2>If they did junk and if they truly cheated you.

1688
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:07.439
<v Speaker 2>You might be you may be able to get that

1689
01:33:07.479 --> 01:33:11.479
<v Speaker 2>through small claims court. When you I mean, it would

1690
01:33:11.560 --> 01:33:14.319
<v Speaker 2>be smart to get that money back and have your

1691
01:33:14.359 --> 01:33:17.000
<v Speaker 2>friend help you buy another car instead of putting money

1692
01:33:17.000 --> 01:33:17.640
<v Speaker 2>into this one.

1693
01:33:18.680 --> 01:33:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's that's the plan. I mean they were like,

1694
01:33:21.600 --> 01:33:24.560
<v Speaker 3>they mistreated me and my kids. And there's a whole

1695
01:33:24.600 --> 01:33:25.760
<v Speaker 3>list of just you.

1696
01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Know, but that part here, Mary, people are jerks and

1697
01:33:29.640 --> 01:33:32.159
<v Speaker 2>if he mistreated you and all that, none of that's

1698
01:33:32.199 --> 01:33:35.079
<v Speaker 2>going to matter. Here's the only thing that matters, the

1699
01:33:35.239 --> 01:33:37.960
<v Speaker 2>only thing. Did they cheat you?

1700
01:33:39.399 --> 01:33:39.880
<v Speaker 14>Yeah?

1701
01:33:40.079 --> 01:33:42.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean in the road from Audi of Denver shows

1702
01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:42.760
<v Speaker 3>that they did.

1703
01:33:43.439 --> 01:33:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what does Audi of Denver say about your car?

1704
01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:49.079
<v Speaker 10>Oh, there was.

1705
01:33:49.199 --> 01:33:52.119
<v Speaker 3>There was a lot, a long list. But in regards

1706
01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:56.960
<v Speaker 3>to the engine itself, yeah, I was charged again multiple

1707
01:33:56.960 --> 01:34:00.479
<v Speaker 3>times for these gas sets and seals suppose and I

1708
01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:02.960
<v Speaker 3>do have videos where the shop has admitted that they

1709
01:34:03.479 --> 01:34:04.399
<v Speaker 3>probably never needed to.

1710
01:34:04.600 --> 01:34:06.960
<v Speaker 2>What I want to know is what does Audi of

1711
01:34:07.159 --> 01:34:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Denver say about the engine job that was defective?

1712
01:34:14.800 --> 01:34:15.560
<v Speaker 14>It's Scott.

1713
01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, i'd have to refer to the list that

1714
01:34:17.560 --> 01:34:18.039
<v Speaker 3>I sent you.

1715
01:34:18.159 --> 01:34:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Just roughly, just roughly, do they say you were cheated

1716
01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:26.479
<v Speaker 2>or or do they use words like they never replace this,

1717
01:34:26.720 --> 01:34:27.640
<v Speaker 2>they never did this.

1718
01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:31.479
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, exactly. They said they were not new

1719
01:34:31.560 --> 01:34:33.680
<v Speaker 3>seals that the engine has issues.

1720
01:34:34.600 --> 01:34:36.680
<v Speaker 2>But here's what I want to know, though, did you

1721
01:34:36.800 --> 01:34:40.159
<v Speaker 2>get charged? See here's what we have to make. We

1722
01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:43.920
<v Speaker 2>have to make a case for fraud. So Mary, it's

1723
01:34:44.000 --> 01:34:47.079
<v Speaker 2>not important that it was a poor job, believe it

1724
01:34:47.159 --> 01:34:52.159
<v Speaker 2>or not. What's important is if they cheated you.

1725
01:34:52.319 --> 01:34:53.760
<v Speaker 6>Let me tell you what that means.

1726
01:34:54.600 --> 01:34:57.840
<v Speaker 2>That means that they charged you for things and lied

1727
01:34:57.880 --> 01:35:00.600
<v Speaker 2>to you about it. They didn't replace it, or they

1728
01:35:00.640 --> 01:35:03.439
<v Speaker 2>replaced something with a used part and they claimed it

1729
01:35:03.520 --> 01:35:06.600
<v Speaker 2>was rebuilt. I need to know if Audi have denver

1730
01:35:06.680 --> 01:35:11.159
<v Speaker 2>made any of those kinds of statements.

1731
01:35:11.279 --> 01:35:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and I did kind of gather some of that

1732
01:35:15.840 --> 01:35:19.319
<v Speaker 3>and send it over the other night. So it's it's

1733
01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:23.199
<v Speaker 3>very clear that that's exactly what happened. Okay, admit it

1734
01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:25.640
<v Speaker 3>in some of the videos I have too, And Okay,

1735
01:35:25.840 --> 01:35:28.319
<v Speaker 3>like they were trying have you ever thought vehicles on fire?

1736
01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:31.880
<v Speaker 2>How so you you want the four grand back?

1737
01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:33.000
<v Speaker 6>Have you asked them for it?

1738
01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:36.960
<v Speaker 3>I tried to reach out to one of the owners

1739
01:35:37.760 --> 01:35:40.279
<v Speaker 3>just via text, which was how we had been communicating,

1740
01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:40.760
<v Speaker 3>and he.

1741
01:35:40.800 --> 01:35:43.119
<v Speaker 6>Were the owners there, Taylor Automotive.

1742
01:35:44.359 --> 01:35:48.960
<v Speaker 3>One of them is named David, and he's he's a

1743
01:35:49.039 --> 01:35:52.199
<v Speaker 3>harder one to do with verbally. But then there's a

1744
01:35:52.319 --> 01:35:55.840
<v Speaker 3>man named John. I believe his last name is Thornson,

1745
01:35:56.079 --> 01:35:58.520
<v Speaker 3>and I had texted with him off and on for

1746
01:35:58.560 --> 01:35:58.960
<v Speaker 3>a while.

1747
01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:01.439
<v Speaker 10>He do they offer you?

1748
01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Do they offer you anything at all?

1749
01:36:05.239 --> 01:36:05.319
<v Speaker 26>No?

1750
01:36:05.479 --> 01:36:08.239
<v Speaker 3>He claimed that he didn't work there anymore, and then

1751
01:36:08.319 --> 01:36:10.520
<v Speaker 3>later in the same conversation, claimed that it was okay,

1752
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:11.720
<v Speaker 3>that's number anymore.

1753
01:36:11.800 --> 01:36:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't you know one thing you have to know, Mary,

1754
01:36:15.680 --> 01:36:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about all that side stuff. I don't

1755
01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:20.079
<v Speaker 2>care about it at all. We got to stay on track.

1756
01:36:20.800 --> 01:36:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Did they offer you anything at all?

1757
01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:31.680
<v Speaker 6>I guess she's no longer with us.

1758
01:36:31.720 --> 01:36:34.199
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, No, it's got garbled there for a second.

1759
01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Again, I'm sorry. Did they offer you anything at all? No?

1760
01:36:39.079 --> 01:36:41.279
<v Speaker 3>They are just deflecting and mostly avoiding me.

1761
01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we first need to have someone reach out

1762
01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:49.560
<v Speaker 2>to them and just reason with them to see if.

1763
01:36:49.439 --> 01:36:50.720
<v Speaker 6>They're willing to do anything.

1764
01:36:51.840 --> 01:36:54.479
<v Speaker 2>We need to First, we need to see that invoice

1765
01:36:54.520 --> 01:36:58.159
<v Speaker 2>that you have from outa of Denver. I want to

1766
01:36:58.199 --> 01:37:01.119
<v Speaker 2>make sure that that invoice as the same thing you

1767
01:37:01.159 --> 01:37:05.680
<v Speaker 2>say it says, okay, like I want to see it. So, Kachina,

1768
01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:09.039
<v Speaker 2>if you could arrange for me to look at that

1769
01:37:09.199 --> 01:37:13.439
<v Speaker 2>invoice from Audi of Denver where they check the car out,

1770
01:37:14.039 --> 01:37:16.800
<v Speaker 2>then after that, I want to give it to one

1771
01:37:16.840 --> 01:37:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of our people to look at. Jeff Vic Kimera Transmission

1772
01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:21.520
<v Speaker 2>will tell you this.

1773
01:37:22.039 --> 01:37:23.319
<v Speaker 6>We'll talk to him after the break.

1774
01:37:23.960 --> 01:37:26.439
<v Speaker 2>But you can have an invoice where things are done

1775
01:37:26.960 --> 01:37:30.279
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't worth being done, or it was done poorly,

1776
01:37:30.439 --> 01:37:34.640
<v Speaker 2>but it was done. That's different than fraud. So we'll

1777
01:37:34.640 --> 01:37:40.680
<v Speaker 2>come back and talk about that and more right after this. Hi,

1778
01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Tom Martinez here three on three seven, three eight two

1779
01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:48.079
<v Speaker 2>five five. All right, so let's give that to Deputy

1780
01:37:48.119 --> 01:37:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Bow and see what we can do to help, because

1781
01:37:50.920 --> 01:37:55.319
<v Speaker 2>really and truly, God, these used car problems are killing me.

1782
01:37:56.439 --> 01:38:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Think about all the problems we get. I mean, people

1783
01:38:01.279 --> 01:38:04.359
<v Speaker 2>are buying cars with two hundred thousand miles on them,

1784
01:38:04.960 --> 01:38:08.359
<v Speaker 2>and then they almost act surprised when they have a problem.

1785
01:38:08.680 --> 01:38:09.800
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's not your fault.

1786
01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not blaming you for buying cars with two hundred

1787
01:38:12.840 --> 01:38:16.359
<v Speaker 2>thousand miles on them. I understand that you're doing what

1788
01:38:16.399 --> 01:38:19.680
<v Speaker 2>you can to get the price down, but I have

1789
01:38:19.760 --> 01:38:26.039
<v Speaker 2>to make a blanket statement here, never never buy a car,

1790
01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:31.319
<v Speaker 2>never with more than one hundred and fifty thousand. Never,

1791
01:38:33.600 --> 01:38:35.560
<v Speaker 2>And if you buy a car with one hundred thousand,

1792
01:38:37.079 --> 01:38:41.000
<v Speaker 2>don't ever expect not to have problems. You will definitely

1793
01:38:41.039 --> 01:38:45.520
<v Speaker 2>have problems with a car over one hundred thousand miles

1794
01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and over one hundred and fifty thousand miles. Almost any

1795
01:38:50.079 --> 01:38:54.439
<v Speaker 2>repair is not worth doing, So you have to understand

<v Speaker 24>If I just recently bought the house and it looked

1815
01:39:55.039 --> 01:39:57.399
<v Speaker 24>like once we pulled the concrete out, maybe they had

1816
01:39:57.439 --> 01:40:01.000
<v Speaker 24>done some mud jacking or something previous, but it was

1817
01:40:01.199 --> 01:40:04.680
<v Speaker 24>it was very clayey soil where I'm at here in Centennial.

1910
01:45:30.039 --> 01:45:33.520
<v Speaker 2>to connect anything. You're overthinking this thing. Bro, you did

1911

<v Speaker 15>Yeah, it's a condo down there, Centennial.

1913
01:45:39.640 --> 01:45:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Then go put a lien on it.

1914
01:45:41.039 --> 01:45:43.159
<v Speaker 6>What are you waiting? When was the last time you

1915
01:45:43.159 --> 01:45:43.880
<v Speaker 6>were on the job.

1916
01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:48.840
<v Speaker 15>Oh, this was already already in December of last year.

1917
01:45:49.640 --> 01:45:51.600
<v Speaker 15>Then if we have enough time, No.

1918
01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:52.920
<v Speaker 6>You screwed yourself.

1919
01:45:53.039 --> 01:45:54.000
<v Speaker 2>No, too late.

1920
01:45:54.079 --> 01:45:55.439
<v Speaker 15>Yeah it might be too late.

1921
01:45:56.000 --> 01:45:59.119
<v Speaker 2>It is too late. But that's that's your fault. That's

1922
01:45:59.159 --> 01:46:01.520
<v Speaker 2>your fault. You could have got aleen. You could have

1923
01:46:01.520 --> 01:46:02.880
<v Speaker 2>gotten a lien and gotten it paid for.

1924
01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:07.720
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, we should have followed a lien before. Like that's

1925
01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:13.000
<v Speaker 15>what I was thinking too, is like, oh man, well yeah,

1926
01:46:13.039 --> 01:46:13.640
<v Speaker 15>so let me.

1927
01:46:13.760 --> 01:46:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something.

1928
01:46:17.680 --> 01:46:19.479
<v Speaker 2>Is the condo sold?

1929
01:46:20.760 --> 01:46:22.880
<v Speaker 15>It's sold as a Tuesday of this week.

1930
01:46:23.560 --> 01:46:25.640
<v Speaker 2>So he did sell it, So you're screwed again. It

1931
01:46:25.640 --> 01:46:27.119
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't matter he sold it.

1932
01:46:29.479 --> 01:46:31.960
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, we have no recourse. That's what I was thinking too.

1933
01:46:32.039 --> 01:46:33.760
<v Speaker 15>We can't how.

1934
01:46:33.640 --> 01:46:36.079
<v Speaker 6>Did he so so? How much?

1935
01:46:36.479 --> 01:46:36.600
<v Speaker 14>So?

1936
01:46:36.880 --> 01:46:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So he owed ten grand to you guys, and he

1937
01:46:39.800 --> 01:46:42.600
<v Speaker 2>sold the condo and he didn't tell you about it.

1938
01:46:43.680 --> 01:46:49.079
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, he didn't say nothing. And uh, he was not

01:46:49.199 --> 01:46:54.000
<v Speaker 15>necessary a close friend but pushing that. We we would

1940

<v Speaker 15>regarded like we would touch He's touched the ball. He's

1941
01:46:56.800 --> 01:46:58.479
<v Speaker 15>a trustable dude, so.

1942
01:46:58.479 --> 01:47:01.279
<v Speaker 2>We would so have you. But do you have his

<v Speaker 2>that you're going to file a lean. Mike, what's on

<v Speaker 14>Hey?

1981
01:49:05.319 --> 01:49:08.760
<v Speaker 26>Man, Hey, I was caught in that hail storm. I

1982
01:49:08.840 --> 01:49:12.760
<v Speaker 26>live in Milliken, and I want to know do I

1983
01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:16.039
<v Speaker 26>call the insurance company first or the adjuster to get

1984
01:49:16.119 --> 01:49:17.359
<v Speaker 26>him out to look at my house?

1985
01:49:17.880 --> 01:49:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't call either of them.

1986
01:49:20.000 --> 01:49:20.680
<v Speaker 6>Here's why.

1987
01:49:21.720 --> 01:49:25.680
<v Speaker 2>If you call your insurance company and they send an adjuster.

1988
01:49:25.920 --> 01:49:26.920
<v Speaker 6>Or the adjuster director.

1989
01:49:26.960 --> 01:49:30.720
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter, and there's no damage to your home,

1990
01:49:31.800 --> 01:49:36.920
<v Speaker 2>it will count as a claim. Correct, So you shouldn't

1991
01:49:36.960 --> 01:49:41.039
<v Speaker 2>call You should not call your insurance company. First, you

1992
01:49:41.119 --> 01:49:45.239
<v Speaker 2>should call a reputable roofer. But here's what I want

1993
01:49:45.279 --> 01:49:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to tell you. When you call a roofer to come

1994
01:49:48.680 --> 01:49:54.760
<v Speaker 2>check out your house, do not sign any contracts. Yes,

1995
01:49:55.520 --> 01:50:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and that means don't sign anything. If they say, well,

1996
01:50:01.880 --> 01:50:05.359
<v Speaker 2>you got to sign here to give us authorization, No

1997
01:50:05.800 --> 01:50:08.800
<v Speaker 2>you don't. I want to tell everyone right now, there

1998
01:50:08.880 --> 01:50:13.520
<v Speaker 2>is nothing required that you sign for someone to look

1999
01:50:13.520 --> 01:50:17.399
<v Speaker 2>at your roof. Nothing is required, not by the homeowner,

2000
01:50:17.760 --> 01:50:21.560
<v Speaker 2>not by the county, not by the state, no one.

2001
01:50:21.840 --> 01:50:26.079
<v Speaker 2>So in Millican you can call really good roofers. I

2015
01:51:08.479 --> 01:51:11.760
<v Speaker 26>roofing companies right after the storm, same day, and I

2016
01:51:11.920 --> 01:51:13.119
<v Speaker 26>just send them away.

2017
01:51:13.800 --> 01:51:16.560
<v Speaker 9>Hey, Tom guy, I asked you a question about not

2018
01:51:16.600 --> 01:51:20.479
<v Speaker 9>signing anything. Do you does a homeowner ever have to

2019
01:51:20.600 --> 01:51:25.159
<v Speaker 9>sign a release of liability so that if something happens,

2020
01:51:25.279 --> 01:51:28.399
<v Speaker 9>so that's on the roofing company to cover.

2021
01:51:28.159 --> 01:51:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Their own injuries. They're okay, do you have to sign

2022
01:51:32.600 --> 01:51:35.600
<v Speaker 2>a release of liability for someone climbing on your roof?

2023
01:51:35.640 --> 01:51:36.199
<v Speaker 6>To look at it?

2024
01:51:36.319 --> 01:51:44.840
<v Speaker 2>No, why would you who are you releasing from liability? Doc?

2025
01:51:44.920 --> 01:51:45.520
<v Speaker 6>Who would you be?

2026
01:51:45.560 --> 01:51:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Really?

2027
01:51:45.880 --> 01:51:46.000
<v Speaker 14>Well?

2028
01:51:46.039 --> 01:51:48.960
<v Speaker 2>What, Doc? Who would you be releasing from liability?

2029
01:51:49.199 --> 01:51:52.279
<v Speaker 9>If somebody climbs up on your roof and suffers an

2030
01:51:52.279 --> 01:51:55.199
<v Speaker 9>injury and then claims something against the homeowner?

2031
01:51:55.399 --> 01:51:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I was just asking, Okay, well, it wouldn't matter what

2032
01:51:59.000 --> 01:51:59.520
<v Speaker 2>you signed.

2033
01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:01.279
<v Speaker 6>You can't sign away someone's rights.

2034
01:52:01.640 --> 01:52:05.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, you don't have to sign anything, and

2035
01:52:05.159 --> 01:52:09.039
<v Speaker 2>there is nothing you can sign. I mean, what Doc

2036
01:52:09.159 --> 01:52:11.840
<v Speaker 2>is talking about is having something that says you can

2037
01:52:11.880 --> 01:52:14.319
<v Speaker 2>get on my roof. But if you get hurt, don't

2038
01:52:14.319 --> 01:52:17.479
<v Speaker 2>come after me. Well, that's going to be held up

2039
01:52:17.479 --> 01:52:19.840
<v Speaker 2>by the law anyway. I mean if you didn't do

2040
01:52:19.880 --> 01:52:22.960
<v Speaker 2>anything wrong and somebody's climbing on your roof, I mean

2041
01:52:23.199 --> 01:52:25.119
<v Speaker 2>if you had spikes on your roof and you didn't

2042
01:52:25.119 --> 01:52:27.720
<v Speaker 2>tell them about it, that might be different. I would

2043
01:52:27.760 --> 01:52:30.319
<v Speaker 2>say this, you get a reputable roof for you don't

2044
01:52:30.359 --> 01:52:30.680
<v Speaker 2>ever have.

2045
01:52:30.680 --> 01:52:31.279
<v Speaker 6>To worry about it.

2046
01:52:31.359 --> 01:52:34.760
<v Speaker 2>They have insurance if somebody gets hurt, they have workers comp.

2047
01:52:36.159 --> 01:52:38.199
<v Speaker 6>I would I would start with excel roofing.

2048
01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:42.720
<v Speaker 26>Okay, excellent. Let me give you their number one other

2049
01:52:43.039 --> 01:52:44.000
<v Speaker 26>at one other question.

2050
01:52:44.359 --> 01:52:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Their number, by the way is three oh three

2051
01:52:46.319 --> 01:52:49.279
<v Speaker 2>seven six one sixty four hundred, seven sixty one sixty

2052
01:52:49.279 --> 01:52:49.760
<v Speaker 2>four hundred.

2053
01:52:49.880 --> 01:52:50.960
<v Speaker 6>What's your other question, sir?

2054
01:52:53.840 --> 01:52:56.439
<v Speaker 26>I'm looking for a good used car. I was thinking

2055
01:52:56.479 --> 01:52:59.119
<v Speaker 26>about a Toyota Prius A used.

2056
01:52:58.880 --> 01:53:03.119
<v Speaker 2>One bad bad idea bad bad the worst used car

2057
01:53:03.159 --> 01:53:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you can buy.

2058
01:53:04.840 --> 01:53:08.479
<v Speaker 26>Really, Okay? Do you know why up with good mileage?

2059
01:53:08.560 --> 01:53:08.680
<v Speaker 14>No?

2060
01:53:08.720 --> 01:53:09.399
<v Speaker 26>I don't know why.

2061
01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Because they don't depreciate and you got you got batteries

2062
01:53:13.199 --> 01:53:15.239
<v Speaker 2>to worry about. Why would you want to buy a

2063
01:53:15.279 --> 01:53:18.600
<v Speaker 2>car that doesn't depreciate? You want a car that depreciates

2064
01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:21.840
<v Speaker 2>like crazy if you're going to buy it used. So

2065
01:53:21.880 --> 01:53:24.079
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to buy a used car, if you

2066
01:53:24.119 --> 01:53:25.720
<v Speaker 2>want to buy a used car and get the most

2067
01:53:25.800 --> 01:53:28.800
<v Speaker 2>value out of it, then buy a used for it

2068
01:53:28.960 --> 01:53:31.640
<v Speaker 2>or Chevy. If you want a new car that's not

2069
01:53:31.680 --> 01:53:36.399
<v Speaker 2>going to depreciate, then buy your Prius. All right, it's

2070
01:53:36.479 --> 01:53:39.279
<v Speaker 2>just the opposite. It's just the opposite of what you think.

2071
01:53:39.600 --> 01:53:43.760
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to buy anything that people think is

2072
01:53:43.800 --> 01:53:44.520
<v Speaker 2>a great car.

2073
01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:47.399
<v Speaker 26>Oh really?

2074
01:53:48.199 --> 01:53:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean you don't want to buy because the

2075
01:53:49.960 --> 01:53:52.720
<v Speaker 2>percent the market perception keeps the.

2076
01:53:52.680 --> 01:53:54.640
<v Speaker 6>Prices outrageously high.

2077
01:53:55.039 --> 01:53:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So if you looked at five grand or ten grand,

2078
01:53:57.760 --> 01:54:01.479
<v Speaker 2>let's say ten thousand dollars, that ten thousand dollars will

2079
01:54:01.520 --> 01:54:09.199
<v Speaker 2>buy you way, way, way more in an American car

2080
01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:12.680
<v Speaker 2>then it will in a Japanese car.

2081
01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:13.760
<v Speaker 26>Okay.

2082
01:54:14.439 --> 01:54:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Now, if it's a new car, just the opposite, right, Okay,

2083
01:54:23.920 --> 01:54:27.159
<v Speaker 2>So what else do you want to talk about? That?

2084
01:54:27.319 --> 01:54:28.359
<v Speaker 26>Was it just those two?

2085
01:54:28.800 --> 01:54:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? If you're looking for a good use card, what

2086
01:54:30.880 --> 01:54:32.560
<v Speaker 2>are you looking for? What do you want an suv?

2087
01:54:33.720 --> 01:54:34.279
<v Speaker 10>Uh? No?

2088
01:54:34.560 --> 01:54:38.479
<v Speaker 26>See, I got AA Ford F two fifty dthel and

2089
01:54:38.560 --> 01:54:42.720
<v Speaker 26>it only gets like fifteen miles per gallon unless I'm

2090
01:54:42.720 --> 01:54:45.640
<v Speaker 26>pulling my fifth wheel. But I hate driving it every

2091
01:54:45.760 --> 01:54:48.159
<v Speaker 26>weekend all over town. So I just want a good

2092
01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:51.000
<v Speaker 26>car that okay, guess, let's travel around town.

2093
01:54:51.439 --> 01:54:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Good good, yep. Then you want to buy an American.

2094
01:54:55.119 --> 01:54:56.760
<v Speaker 6>Car that depreciates like crazy.

2095
01:54:56.760 --> 01:54:59.319
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I think I have a list of cars

2096
01:54:59.319 --> 01:55:00.680
<v Speaker 2>that depreciate like crazy.

2097
01:55:01.319 --> 01:55:02.239
<v Speaker 6>I'm really serious.

2098
01:55:02.439 --> 01:55:05.039
<v Speaker 2>People say, well, wait a minute, Tom, it depreciates a lot.

2099
01:55:05.319 --> 01:55:06.479
<v Speaker 6>Yes it does, you moron.

2100
01:55:06.720 --> 01:55:09.159
<v Speaker 2>That's why you want to buy it used because it's

2101
01:55:09.199 --> 01:55:13.760
<v Speaker 2>almost like new, and they sell like crazy. So uh,

2102
01:55:14.279 --> 01:55:17.960
<v Speaker 2>good cars that depreciate a lot. Look for a VW.

2103
01:55:19.199 --> 01:55:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Look for an Odyssey Honda Odyssey Honda originally wait wait,

2104
01:55:22.359 --> 01:55:24.039
<v Speaker 2>oh no, these are the best, not the worst.

2105
01:55:24.079 --> 01:55:25.720
<v Speaker 6>Wait no, no, these are the worst.

2106
01:55:27.000 --> 01:55:29.479
<v Speaker 2>You want to you want something that depreciates a lot.

2107
01:55:30.039 --> 01:55:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Then then you want to go on and go on

2108
01:55:32.399 --> 01:55:37.039
<v Speaker 2>and Google or ask artificial intelligence for cars that depreciate

2109
01:55:37.159 --> 01:55:40.199
<v Speaker 2>a great deal, and then go and look for some

2110
01:55:40.239 --> 01:55:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of those cars, like did you know a Lincoln Navigator

2111
01:55:45.039 --> 01:55:50.800
<v Speaker 2>depreciates a lot? Some of these, you know, you'll you'll

2112
01:55:50.800 --> 01:55:54.560
<v Speaker 2>find good cars, but Ford's and Chevy's Jeff Fick camera

2113
01:55:54.600 --> 01:55:58.079
<v Speaker 2>transmission Jeff don't you agree with that. Uh, these cars

2114
01:55:58.119 --> 01:56:01.439
<v Speaker 2>that depreciate a lot doesn't mean they're bad cars.

2115
01:56:01.600 --> 01:56:03.680
<v Speaker 22>Correct, correct, But any of the cars you look at,

2116
01:56:03.800 --> 01:56:05.640
<v Speaker 22>I mean the one thing that people neglect to do,

2117
01:56:05.680 --> 01:56:08.319
<v Speaker 22>and it happens all the time, go get it checked

2118
01:56:08.359 --> 01:56:09.560
<v Speaker 22>out before you buy it.

2119
01:56:10.760 --> 01:56:13.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh that's right. God, there's so many that don't do that.

2120
01:56:13.800 --> 01:56:15.840
<v Speaker 2>But thanks for calling. Three O three seven one three

2121
01:56:15.880 --> 01:56:17.800
<v Speaker 2>talk seven one three eight two five five.

2122
01:56:19.039 --> 01:56:21.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you got it. You got to get rid of

2123
01:56:21.279 --> 01:56:21.680
<v Speaker 6>the car.

2124
01:56:23.720 --> 01:56:25.399
<v Speaker 2>Uh, excuse me, not get rid of it, get it

2125
01:56:25.479 --> 01:56:27.279
<v Speaker 2>checked out before getting it.

2126
01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:31.000
<v Speaker 6>All right, let's take this break. I need to take

2127
01:56:31.000 --> 01:56:32.079
<v Speaker 6>a break and we'll come right back.

2128
01:56:35.800 --> 01:56:38.479
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Tom Martino here three O three seven one three

2129
01:56:38.600 --> 01:56:41.880
<v Speaker 2>eight two five five. I was looking over the paperwork

2130
01:56:41.880 --> 01:56:45.000
<v Speaker 2>that was sent to me by that woman who said

2131
01:56:45.039 --> 01:56:51.359
<v Speaker 2>that Denver Audi said she was cheated. Nothing, not one thing.

2132
01:56:51.720 --> 01:56:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Not one thing says she was cheated. It said it

2133
01:56:55.439 --> 01:57:00.000
<v Speaker 2>was poor quality work. Nothing said she was cheated at all.

2134
01:57:00.720 --> 01:57:01.880
<v Speaker 2>What's going on in your life?

2135
01:57:01.920 --> 01:57:02.239
<v Speaker 6>Larry?

2136
01:57:02.279 --> 01:57:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the show, Tom.

2137
01:57:05.600 --> 01:57:08.079
<v Speaker 32>Uh, before I have my car question, I have a

2138
01:57:08.119 --> 01:57:11.039
<v Speaker 32>real quick comment about the guy that was complaining about

2139
01:57:11.079 --> 01:57:12.880
<v Speaker 32>outrageous power bills.

2140
01:57:13.279 --> 01:57:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Yes earlier, Yes, he said. After he switched to the

2141
01:57:17.479 --> 01:57:20.960
<v Speaker 2>smart meter, his bills went from twenty something a month

2142
01:57:21.239 --> 01:57:22.119
<v Speaker 2>to four hundred.

2143
01:57:23.520 --> 01:57:27.479
<v Speaker 32>Well, he needs to get several bills from prior to

2144
01:57:27.520 --> 01:57:32.079
<v Speaker 32>the switch, and to get the bills since the change

2145
01:57:32.520 --> 01:57:36.119
<v Speaker 32>and look at the actual power consumption and the rates

2146
01:57:36.159 --> 01:57:40.399
<v Speaker 32>he was charged. Without doing that, you can't tell what

2147
01:57:40.600 --> 01:57:41.600
<v Speaker 32>the situation is.

2148
01:57:42.359 --> 01:57:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So that's that is a good point. That is a

2149
01:57:45.560 --> 01:57:46.000
<v Speaker 2>good point.

2150
01:57:47.600 --> 01:57:50.680
<v Speaker 32>Oh and XLL did my roof yesterday?

2151
01:57:51.479 --> 01:57:52.720
<v Speaker 6>Oh good, I'm glad.

2152
01:57:53.520 --> 01:57:56.000
<v Speaker 32>And you know, it's totally the second time in my

2153
01:57:56.119 --> 01:57:58.960
<v Speaker 32>life that I've ever hired somebody to do anything on

2154
01:57:59.119 --> 01:58:02.680
<v Speaker 32>my house, and I was kind of apprehensive.

2155
01:58:03.279 --> 01:58:04.960
<v Speaker 2>What were you going to do your own roof?

2156
01:58:06.560 --> 01:58:09.880
<v Speaker 32>Well, at eighty three, I think I'm beyond doing my

2157
01:58:10.079 --> 01:58:10.760
<v Speaker 32>own roof.

2158
01:58:11.279 --> 01:58:13.239
<v Speaker 6>But did you used to do your own roof?

2159
01:58:14.159 --> 01:58:18.000
<v Speaker 32>I did the roof seventeen years ago. When I added

2160
01:58:18.039 --> 01:58:18.439
<v Speaker 32>on to the.

2161
01:58:18.439 --> 01:58:19.079
<v Speaker 14>Back of the house.

2162
01:58:19.119 --> 01:58:20.520
<v Speaker 32>I did the whole thing myself.

2163
01:58:20.640 --> 01:58:20.960
<v Speaker 11>Yes.

2164
01:58:21.680 --> 01:58:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Wow, okay, brother, what's going on? You're eighty three. I'm

2165
01:58:25.720 --> 01:58:26.600
<v Speaker 2>catching up to you.

2166
01:58:27.600 --> 01:58:32.159
<v Speaker 32>Right Well, you better hurry on my car. I've got

2167
01:58:32.159 --> 01:58:37.840
<v Speaker 32>a ninety nine Mercury and my air conditioner sometimes does

2168
01:58:37.880 --> 01:58:42.520
<v Speaker 32>not start up right away after I start driving. Sometimes

2169
01:58:42.560 --> 01:58:45.920
<v Speaker 32>it'll be two or three minutes. Sometimes it'll be thirty minutes.

2170
01:58:46.640 --> 01:58:51.000
<v Speaker 32>And I'm wondering if I might have a vacuum leak

2171
01:58:51.079 --> 01:58:52.720
<v Speaker 32>to control or.

2172
01:58:52.920 --> 01:58:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Man on that age. When was the last time you

2173
01:58:56.800 --> 01:58:59.039
<v Speaker 2>had that service, that ac system?

2174
01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:01.079
<v Speaker 13>Uh?

2175
01:59:02.880 --> 01:59:07.439
<v Speaker 32>At least twelve fifteen years ago. I'm wondering if the

2176
01:59:07.479 --> 01:59:09.359
<v Speaker 32>refrigerate's low, if that would trigger you.

2177
01:59:09.640 --> 01:59:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, it could be. It could be anything.

2178
01:59:13.000 --> 01:59:16.119
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying that when you turn on your air,

2179
01:59:16.199 --> 01:59:17.520
<v Speaker 2>you don't get air immediately.

2180
01:59:19.319 --> 01:59:23.159
<v Speaker 32>Correct? Now, Sometimes when I'm just driving down the road,

2181
01:59:23.199 --> 01:59:26.760
<v Speaker 32>two or three minutes later, it'll start. Sometimes I'll be drying,

2182
01:59:26.960 --> 01:59:30.960
<v Speaker 32>driving down the road and it'll stop and it won't

2183
01:59:31.000 --> 01:59:33.119
<v Speaker 32>go back on for half an hour.

2184
01:59:34.119 --> 01:59:36.359
<v Speaker 22>Are you saying the blower motor quits running or it

2185
01:59:36.439 --> 01:59:37.439
<v Speaker 22>quits blown cold?

2186
01:59:38.319 --> 01:59:42.039
<v Speaker 32>Well, it just quits. I mean it could the blower quit.

2187
01:59:43.039 --> 01:59:47.039
<v Speaker 32>And that switch is kind of squirrely because I think

2188
01:59:47.079 --> 01:59:51.640
<v Speaker 32>it operates a vacuum circuit or something.

2189
01:59:52.159 --> 01:59:54.560
<v Speaker 2>You haven't had it, you haven't had a service in

2190
01:59:54.640 --> 01:59:57.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty years, and you're asking.

2191
01:59:57.399 --> 01:59:59.760
<v Speaker 6>Could it be low on refrigering?

2192
02:00:00.479 --> 02:00:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely positively, it could be, but it could be seals

2193
02:00:05.359 --> 02:00:07.640
<v Speaker 2>or any It could be any number of things.

2194
02:00:08.640 --> 02:00:10.960
<v Speaker 32>Well, fifteen years ago, I had a problem with the

2195
02:00:10.960 --> 02:00:14.119
<v Speaker 32>blend door, and I knew that's what it was, because

2196
02:00:14.239 --> 02:00:17.560
<v Speaker 32>some that would stick shut or open or whatever, and

2197
02:00:17.640 --> 02:00:19.880
<v Speaker 32>so I knew that's what the problem was. And so

2198
02:00:19.960 --> 02:00:22.560
<v Speaker 32>I took it in and the service the air conditioner,

2199
02:00:22.600 --> 02:00:24.680
<v Speaker 32>and I told them, well, what about that problem with

2200
02:00:24.760 --> 02:00:27.239
<v Speaker 32>the blind door, And so they said, oh, well, we're

2201
02:00:27.279 --> 02:00:29.600
<v Speaker 32>going to have to investigate that. Well, it turns out

2202
02:00:29.600 --> 02:00:33.199
<v Speaker 32>they had to almost disassemble everything in the in the

2203
02:00:33.319 --> 02:00:36.520
<v Speaker 32>dashboard to get to that, and it cost me six

2204
02:00:36.600 --> 02:00:39.359
<v Speaker 32>hundred dollars. Of course, you know, because hey, fifteen years ago,

2205
02:00:40.159 --> 02:00:43.880
<v Speaker 32>so uh I you know, with the age of the

2206
02:00:43.920 --> 02:00:47.079
<v Speaker 32>car now, I mean I grew up, I didn't have

2207
02:00:47.159 --> 02:00:49.359
<v Speaker 32>air conditioning in a vehicle tow I was forty five.

2208
02:00:49.960 --> 02:00:52.159
<v Speaker 32>So it doesn't bother me to roll down the window,

2209
02:00:55.159 --> 02:00:57.560
<v Speaker 32>all right. I just was wondering an opinion if it

2210
02:00:57.600 --> 02:01:03.039
<v Speaker 32>would be more likely the refrigerate or maybe a vacuum lea.

2211
02:01:03.399 --> 02:01:05.319
<v Speaker 22>It could be the one on the car that age.

2212
02:01:05.319 --> 02:01:08.119
<v Speaker 22>With how many miles you've got on a fifteen years

2213
02:01:08.119 --> 02:01:10.239
<v Speaker 22>since it's been touched, you're going to have any other

2214
02:01:10.319 --> 02:01:10.920
<v Speaker 22>number of things.

2215
02:01:11.000 --> 02:01:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Thing Larry Larry it's unreasonable to even think it's one

2216
02:01:15.880 --> 02:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>or the other. It probably needs to I know you

2217
02:01:19.720 --> 02:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>don't like spending money. I can tell by what you

2218
02:01:21.800 --> 02:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>just said. I mean, but God, sometimes you by putting

2219
02:01:26.439 --> 02:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>off maintenance, you just cause yourself more maintenance.

2220
02:01:30.159 --> 02:01:33.520
<v Speaker 32>Well, there's only been happening for the last two or

2221
02:01:33.520 --> 02:01:37.760
<v Speaker 32>three years, and like I say, eventually, when I'm driving

2222
02:01:37.760 --> 02:01:39.680
<v Speaker 32>that road, it'll come on and it works perfect.

2223
02:01:39.760 --> 02:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>It works well, then, Larry, if you don't mind it,

2224
02:01:43.319 --> 02:01:45.079
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to get I'm going to tell you

2225
02:01:45.159 --> 02:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>something right now, that problem. You're not going to get

2226
02:01:48.039 --> 02:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>out of that problem for one thousand dollars. It's going

2227
02:01:50.920 --> 02:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to be one thousand dollars minimum. Wouldn't you say that,

2228
02:01:54.079 --> 02:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Jeff easily? What do you think seriously, with a system

2229
02:01:58.880 --> 02:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>that old.

2230
02:02:00.279 --> 02:02:03.239
<v Speaker 32>If I just go in for a recharge of refrigerant,

2231
02:02:04.079 --> 02:02:05.880
<v Speaker 32>a thousand dollars is not reasonable?

2232
02:02:06.359 --> 02:02:06.800
<v Speaker 6>Okay?

2233
02:02:07.119 --> 02:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>That hold on, Larry, No air conditioning shop is going

2234
02:02:11.600 --> 02:02:14.279
<v Speaker 2>to give you a recharge on a system that old

2235
02:02:15.760 --> 02:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>without going through it.

2236
02:02:16.800 --> 02:02:18.000
<v Speaker 22>We're gonna have to troubleshoot it.

2237
02:02:18.560 --> 02:02:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Not one, not one shop.

2238
02:02:20.880 --> 02:02:22.880
<v Speaker 32>Will give you a reach and they're just looking for

2239
02:02:22.960 --> 02:02:26.000
<v Speaker 32>an excuse to charge me by hundred thousand dollars.

2240
02:02:26.399 --> 02:02:30.279
<v Speaker 2>No, it's actually fix the problem, Larry. If you're going

2241
02:02:30.359 --> 02:02:33.760
<v Speaker 2>to have a recharge, and let's say a recharge is

2242
02:02:33.800 --> 02:02:36.159
<v Speaker 2>going to cost you four or five hundred bucks, they're

2243
02:02:36.159 --> 02:02:40.119
<v Speaker 2>not going to want to do that. It's like wasting money. Larry.

2244
02:02:40.159 --> 02:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>You're living in the past. Brother. I can't help it.

2245
02:02:42.560 --> 02:02:45.920
<v Speaker 2>But people are actually charged for what they do, and

2246
02:02:45.920 --> 02:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>and even to have that system recharged is going to

2247
02:02:48.479 --> 02:02:50.399
<v Speaker 2>cost you three or four hundred Did you.

2248
02:02:50.399 --> 02:02:54.520
<v Speaker 32>Know then, I've seen advertisements for recharges for one hundred

2249
02:02:54.560 --> 02:02:55.199
<v Speaker 32>and forty nine.

2250
02:02:55.720 --> 02:02:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, no one is going to work on your

2251
02:02:57.359 --> 02:02:59.399
<v Speaker 2>car for one hundred and forty nine. And if they do,

2252
02:02:59.520 --> 02:03:02.199
<v Speaker 2>their steel money from you, because it's going to be useless.

2253
02:03:02.479 --> 02:03:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Why would you put what tell me this, Why would

2254
02:03:05.439 --> 02:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>you recharge your system if you don't know it's going

2255
02:03:08.640 --> 02:03:09.640
<v Speaker 2>to hold a charge.

2256
02:03:09.760 --> 02:03:11.319
<v Speaker 6>Why would you waste money like that?

2257
02:03:13.319 --> 02:03:17.000
<v Speaker 32>But it evidently has refrigerant now, and it might be

2258
02:03:17.039 --> 02:03:19.960
<v Speaker 32>low in twenty years. It's bound to leak out maybe

2259
02:03:20.000 --> 02:03:20.760
<v Speaker 32>a little bit.

2260
02:03:22.880 --> 02:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Larry, you didn't call Larry, Larry, you didn't call

2261
02:03:26.640 --> 02:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>for help. You don't want to hear the truth. You're

2262
02:03:28.840 --> 02:03:31.479
<v Speaker 2>living in the past. You know what I say, Roll

2263
02:03:31.520 --> 02:03:34.359
<v Speaker 2>your windows down. No, no, I'm done with Larry. Roll

2264
02:03:34.399 --> 02:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>your windows down. You've been getting along fine, just roll

2265
02:03:37.560 --> 02:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>your windows down. When it kicks in, you can roll

2266
02:03:40.079 --> 02:03:43.119
<v Speaker 2>your windows back up again. Look it, man, I don't

2267
02:03:43.119 --> 02:03:45.439
<v Speaker 2>have time to talk to somebody with a.

2268
02:03:45.560 --> 02:03:48.039
<v Speaker 6>What is it a two thousand? How old is this

2269
02:03:48.119 --> 02:03:48.600
<v Speaker 6>car right now?

2270
02:03:50.479 --> 02:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Huh?

2271
02:03:50.960 --> 02:03:52.760
<v Speaker 22>The nineteen ninety nine? It is a mercury.

2272
02:03:53.359 --> 02:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, it's God love you that you want

2273
02:03:55.840 --> 02:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>to save money, but you're really I don't have time

2274
02:03:58.960 --> 02:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>for it.

2275
02:03:59.239 --> 02:04:03.720
<v Speaker 6>Okay. What you're doing is you're just you're just not realistic.

2276
02:04:03.840 --> 02:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay. And you know, I know you think everybody's out

2277
02:04:06.920 --> 02:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>to cheat you. But that's life, bro Okay, it's just life.

2278
02:04:10.800 --> 02:04:13.239
<v Speaker 2>You have a twenty six year old car and you

2279
02:04:13.319 --> 02:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>expect to get one hundred and forty nine dollars charge.

2280
02:04:15.720 --> 02:04:16.560
<v Speaker 6>It ain't gonna happen.

2281
02:04:17.119 --> 02:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Anybody with any reputable, any ethical mechanic. Would you put

2282
02:04:21.560 --> 02:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>a charge on that? Would you just put a charge

2283
02:04:24.000 --> 02:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>on that, Jeff.

2284
02:04:24.840 --> 02:04:27.279
<v Speaker 6>Metal, Of course you wouldn't.

2285
02:04:26.720 --> 02:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Because you know it might leak right out again. Any

2286
02:04:31.000 --> 02:04:33.840
<v Speaker 2>shop is going to want to check that system out,

2287
02:04:34.319 --> 02:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>any shop unless they're I mean I guess you'll find

2288
02:04:37.640 --> 02:04:40.039
<v Speaker 2>people to steal money from you. Yeah, give me one

2289
02:04:40.079 --> 02:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty nine. I'll give you a charge. Be

2290
02:04:41.840 --> 02:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>on your way. But he's convinced because it still has

2291
02:04:45.039 --> 02:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>refrigerant in there, it can't have a leak. Paul, what's

2292
02:04:48.920 --> 02:04:51.159
<v Speaker 2>going on with you? Paul? Welcome, what's happening?

2293
02:04:52.960 --> 02:04:55.199
<v Speaker 26>Yeah, Hi, thanks for taking my call.

2294
02:04:55.279 --> 02:04:55.600
<v Speaker 14>Tom.

2295
02:04:55.720 --> 02:04:56.439
<v Speaker 6>Yes, sir, Paul.

2296
02:04:58.000 --> 02:05:01.880
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, I'm looking at buying a in Denver, sort of

2297
02:05:01.880 --> 02:05:04.720
<v Speaker 18>West Wash Park and it's an old home. It's over

2298
02:05:04.720 --> 02:05:07.960
<v Speaker 18>one hundred years old, and it would be a rental property.

2299
02:05:08.920 --> 02:05:12.720
<v Speaker 18>But the strange thing that came as to me is

2300
02:05:12.800 --> 02:05:16.640
<v Speaker 18>that when you walk the property, property is great. The

2301
02:05:16.680 --> 02:05:19.520
<v Speaker 18>next door neighbors there's one of these small lives, you know,

2302
02:05:19.840 --> 02:05:20.920
<v Speaker 18>start on the front street.

2303
02:05:21.199 --> 02:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Is there something wrong? Is that with me, Shannon? Or

2304
02:05:23.720 --> 02:05:26.159
<v Speaker 2>is that with his phone? All right, hold on, let's

2305
02:05:26.159 --> 02:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>come right back to him and see if we can

2306
02:05:27.600 --> 02:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>re establish that connection. Right after this, I'm Tom Martino.

2307
02:05:35.119 --> 02:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Jay has a comment on Larry. Larry's the one with

2308
02:05:39.840 --> 02:05:42.479
<v Speaker 2>a twenty six year old car and didn't want to

2309
02:05:42.520 --> 02:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>spend more than a couple hundred bucks on his AC

2310
02:05:45.840 --> 02:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>and thanks. Everyone's out to cheat him go ahead, and Jay,

2311
02:05:49.640 --> 02:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>what is your comment?

2312
02:05:51.760 --> 02:05:54.560
<v Speaker 16>Oh, A couple of things on that old car. That's

2313
02:05:54.600 --> 02:05:59.560
<v Speaker 16>a really really, really simple, not at all sophisticated system.

2314
02:06:00.239 --> 02:06:03.439
<v Speaker 16>It takes literally five minutes Frank good tech to tell

2315
02:06:03.479 --> 02:06:04.880
<v Speaker 16>him if it needs a charge or not.

2316
02:06:05.760 --> 02:06:06.720
<v Speaker 17>Okay, that's not.

2317
02:06:07.319 --> 02:06:08.079
<v Speaker 14>Too big a deal.

2318
02:06:08.600 --> 02:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>But if it needs a charge, that doesn't mean if

2319
02:06:11.279 --> 02:06:13.119
<v Speaker 2>it needs a charge, that doesn't mean it's going to

2320
02:06:13.159 --> 02:06:14.079
<v Speaker 2>hold a charge.

2321
02:06:15.039 --> 02:06:17.560
<v Speaker 16>No, but if it's still working after twenty six years,

2322
02:06:17.560 --> 02:06:19.960
<v Speaker 16>that'd be one hell of a slow leak, so it

2323
02:06:20.079 --> 02:06:23.159
<v Speaker 16>might be worth it for the summer. But they could

2324
02:06:23.159 --> 02:06:25.600
<v Speaker 16>tell him in five minutes it needs to charge a

2325
02:06:25.600 --> 02:06:27.520
<v Speaker 16>lot and if it does, it does it does?

2326
02:06:27.640 --> 02:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Can they tell them? Can they tell him how slow

2327
02:06:29.960 --> 02:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>the leak is?

2328
02:06:32.439 --> 02:06:35.319
<v Speaker 16>If it's been twenty six years and it's just now

2329
02:06:35.319 --> 02:06:36.319
<v Speaker 16>given him problems?

2330
02:06:36.640 --> 02:06:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you, well, how do we how do

2331
02:06:38.359 --> 02:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>we know it was twenty six years but the problem

2332
02:06:41.720 --> 02:06:44.000
<v Speaker 2>happened all within four weeks.

2333
02:06:44.199 --> 02:06:46.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we don't know how slower fast that leak is.

2334
02:06:47.079 --> 02:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>JR. You don't have enough or j I'm sorry you

2335
02:06:49.399 --> 02:06:51.039
<v Speaker 2>don't have enough information to go on.

2336
02:06:52.439 --> 02:06:54.319
<v Speaker 16>I know a lot about those cars.

2337
02:06:54.439 --> 02:06:54.880
<v Speaker 22>I do you know?

2338
02:06:54.960 --> 02:06:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you got a big deal. You got a twenty bro,

2339
02:06:58.479 --> 02:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>you got a twenty six year old car. You don't

2340
02:07:00.840 --> 02:07:02.840
<v Speaker 2>know when it started leaking. How do you know if

2341
02:07:02.880 --> 02:07:04.119
<v Speaker 2>it's a faster slow leak.

2342
02:07:05.800 --> 02:07:09.039
<v Speaker 16>Well, actually you can easily charge it, put a die

2343
02:07:09.079 --> 02:07:11.000
<v Speaker 16>in it and see how.

2344
02:07:11.479 --> 02:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's exactly what I said. Now, what do you Okay,

2345
02:07:15.640 --> 02:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>we are in agreement. So Jay, what would that cost?

2346
02:07:20.680 --> 02:07:23.520
<v Speaker 16>I don't know what people are charging to top off

2347
02:07:23.560 --> 02:07:25.439
<v Speaker 16>a car these days. It's pretty coop.

2348
02:07:25.560 --> 02:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say to top it off, to put a

2349
02:07:27.640 --> 02:07:30.039
<v Speaker 2>die in and do a leak down. How much would

2350
02:07:30.079 --> 02:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>it cost to do a leak down test on an

2351
02:07:32.000 --> 02:07:35.359
<v Speaker 2>air conditioner to determine if it can take a charge.

2352
02:07:35.920 --> 02:07:37.479
<v Speaker 16>Well, let me tell you the process and you can

2353
02:07:37.520 --> 02:07:40.560
<v Speaker 16>guess as well as I can. Okay, if it is low,

2354
02:07:40.760 --> 02:07:44.680
<v Speaker 16>you put in, you put in a guess that die

2355
02:07:44.680 --> 02:07:47.800
<v Speaker 16>in it. When it starts having a problem again, you

2356
02:07:47.840 --> 02:07:50.319
<v Speaker 16>look what your UV light to see where the leak was.

2357
02:07:51.119 --> 02:07:53.680
<v Speaker 16>You gauge about how long it took, and then you

2358
02:07:53.720 --> 02:07:56.279
<v Speaker 16>know where the leak is, so you it's sleek and

2359
02:07:56.359 --> 02:07:59.720
<v Speaker 16>move on with your life. It could be the rest

2360
02:07:59.720 --> 02:08:02.159
<v Speaker 16>of us life. You may never leave again. You know

2361
02:08:02.279 --> 02:08:05.199
<v Speaker 16>enough ever matter it might be called out in a day,

2362
02:08:05.239 --> 02:08:07.960
<v Speaker 16>but it's going to leave a trace or at leaks.

2363
02:08:08.680 --> 02:08:12.680
<v Speaker 2>And how long? How long does that take? Jay? How

2364
02:08:12.720 --> 02:08:15.319
<v Speaker 2>long does that take to test it?

2365
02:08:15.359 --> 02:08:16.319
<v Speaker 16>A matter of minute?

2366
02:08:17.000 --> 02:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay? How much if you go into today's auto shops

2367
02:08:21.279 --> 02:08:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and you do a complete leaked down test of that system,

2368
02:08:24.319 --> 02:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>how much is it going to cost?

2369
02:08:27.800 --> 02:08:29.880
<v Speaker 16>The first thing I would personally is just top it

2370
02:08:29.920 --> 02:08:31.199
<v Speaker 16>off with a see.

2371
02:08:31.239 --> 02:08:33.680
<v Speaker 2>But Jay, you're not in business, and that Jay, you're

2372
02:08:33.680 --> 02:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>not in business. And this is probably why, because you

2373
02:08:36.840 --> 02:08:39.520
<v Speaker 2>know every everyone says, oh, you know a few minutes here,

2374
02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:43.039
<v Speaker 2>a few minutes there. I'm asking straight up if I

2375
02:08:43.319 --> 02:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>drove into a shop and ask them to check my

2376
02:08:46.439 --> 02:08:50.199
<v Speaker 2>system for leaks and pressure and to recharge it, what

2377
02:08:50.439 --> 02:08:51.439
<v Speaker 2>would that cost?

2378
02:08:52.000 --> 02:08:54.439
<v Speaker 16>You don't need You don't start that way. That's what

2379
02:08:54.439 --> 02:08:55.439
<v Speaker 16>I'm trying to take Tom.

2380
02:08:55.600 --> 02:08:57.039
<v Speaker 26>That's not how you started off like that?

2381
02:08:58.319 --> 02:08:58.960
<v Speaker 6>How do you start it?

2382
02:08:59.000 --> 02:09:01.479
<v Speaker 16>Thing you need to do? You start by seeing if

2383
02:09:01.479 --> 02:09:03.479
<v Speaker 16>it's even low. If it is, then you fill it

2384
02:09:03.520 --> 02:09:05.439
<v Speaker 16>up for die, then you let it go.

2385
02:09:06.079 --> 02:09:12.479
<v Speaker 2>That's or Jay, Okay, that's exactly what just said. To

2386
02:09:12.560 --> 02:09:15.159
<v Speaker 2>fill it up with die and to check it you're

2387
02:09:15.279 --> 02:09:18.039
<v Speaker 2>checking for leaks. How much does that cost? Are you

2388
02:09:18.119 --> 02:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>telling me that shops now are doing that stuff free?

2389
02:09:22.560 --> 02:09:25.119
<v Speaker 17>I don't remember ever saying I really don't.

2390
02:09:25.199 --> 02:09:26.159
<v Speaker 16>I'm not sure why you're.

2391
02:09:26.039 --> 02:09:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Yelling at how much? Jay All, I'm asking how much

2392
02:09:29.720 --> 02:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>will it cost? This guy thought he was going to

2393
02:09:32.920 --> 02:09:35.199
<v Speaker 2>go in for one hundred and forty dollars.

2394
02:09:36.439 --> 02:09:38.960
<v Speaker 16>Ask the mechanicals sitting there, what would they charge to

2395
02:09:39.079 --> 02:09:39.720
<v Speaker 16>put the cages?

2396
02:09:39.800 --> 02:09:42.199
<v Speaker 22>Yes, you've got you've got a minimum charge of one

2397
02:09:42.279 --> 02:09:44.359
<v Speaker 22>hundred and seventy five dollars for dieag once we start

2398
02:09:44.359 --> 02:09:46.399
<v Speaker 22>any repairs, we apply that to the repair.

2399
02:09:47.399 --> 02:09:49.680
<v Speaker 16>Okay, So one hundred.

2400
02:09:49.479 --> 02:09:52.359
<v Speaker 6>And seventy five And will that gets you the whole test?

2401
02:09:52.479 --> 02:09:52.680
<v Speaker 10>Yes?

2402
02:09:52.760 --> 02:09:54.760
<v Speaker 22>That would not include any refrigerant. If you have to

2403
02:09:54.800 --> 02:09:57.039
<v Speaker 22>first evacuate the system, see how much is in it,

2404
02:09:57.079 --> 02:09:59.079
<v Speaker 22>Then you have to ref then you can refill it,

2405
02:09:59.359 --> 02:09:59.920
<v Speaker 22>then you can ad.

2406
02:10:01.399 --> 02:10:03.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So how much is all that going to take?

2407
02:10:03.640 --> 02:10:05.479
<v Speaker 2>If you had to do a check like that, would

2408
02:10:05.520 --> 02:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>you do it for less than two forty nine?

2409
02:10:08.039 --> 02:10:10.000
<v Speaker 22>But we don't actually do it with the shop up

2410
02:10:10.039 --> 02:10:11.880
<v Speaker 22>the road from us. I believe they charged it. I

2411
02:10:11.920 --> 02:10:12.439
<v Speaker 22>believe it is.

2412
02:10:12.520 --> 02:10:15.600
<v Speaker 16>But I mentioned one time on this show right here

2413
02:10:15.680 --> 02:10:18.439
<v Speaker 16>that I would think doing an air conditioning shop would

2414
02:10:18.439 --> 02:10:20.680
<v Speaker 16>be a really cool way to make a lot of money.

2415
02:10:20.680 --> 02:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>And that I think you're right, Jay, I think you're

2416
02:10:24.880 --> 02:10:28.079
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent right. There aren't people that specialize in

2417
02:10:28.119 --> 02:10:29.680
<v Speaker 2>it as much as we think.

2418
02:10:31.479 --> 02:10:32.960
<v Speaker 16>Could be a good business.

2419
02:10:32.680 --> 02:10:36.159
<v Speaker 2>It really would, because you could set yourself up to

2420
02:10:36.239 --> 02:10:38.159
<v Speaker 2>do these tests routinely.

2421
02:10:38.520 --> 02:10:40.880
<v Speaker 6>You could set yourself up to get all this done.

2422
02:10:41.039 --> 02:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think a lot of shops and correct

2423
02:10:43.680 --> 02:10:45.439
<v Speaker 2>me if I'm wrong, Jeff, but a lot of shops

2424
02:10:45.720 --> 02:10:48.000
<v Speaker 2>they think air conditioning is a pain in the ass.

2425
02:10:48.399 --> 02:10:50.119
<v Speaker 22>But there's a lot of money in it though, So

2426
02:10:50.359 --> 02:10:51.800
<v Speaker 22>I mean, they do do it.

2427
02:10:53.359 --> 02:10:55.199
<v Speaker 2>But the reason there's a lot of money in it

2428
02:10:55.239 --> 02:10:58.800
<v Speaker 2>is because it's expensive. It's very so yeah, so this guy.

2429
02:10:59.079 --> 02:11:00.680
<v Speaker 2>All I was trying to get a cross to this

2430
02:11:00.720 --> 02:11:04.279
<v Speaker 2>guy is no one is going to for one hundred

2431
02:11:04.319 --> 02:11:07.479
<v Speaker 2>and forty nine dollars slap a charge on that acty.

2432
02:11:07.560 --> 02:11:10.640
<v Speaker 22>Simple fact of the matter is time is money.

2433
02:11:11.159 --> 02:11:12.239
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I got to take a break.

2434
02:11:12.239 --> 02:11:19.800
<v Speaker 2>We got more coming up. Hey, I'm Tom Martinez, your troubleshooter. Listen.

2435
02:11:19.880 --> 02:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>You know there's a number of people telling me that

2436
02:11:23.720 --> 02:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong.

2437
02:11:24.439 --> 02:11:25.720
<v Speaker 6>When it comes to air conditioning.

2438
02:11:26.000 --> 02:11:28.439
<v Speaker 2>That apparently people should be able to pull into a

2439
02:11:28.479 --> 02:11:32.279
<v Speaker 2>garage and for free get it all checked out. Now,

2440
02:11:32.479 --> 02:11:35.560
<v Speaker 2>air conditioning is some of the most expensive service you're

2441
02:11:35.560 --> 02:11:38.439
<v Speaker 2>ever going to pay for. And I have never once

2442
02:11:38.880 --> 02:11:42.039
<v Speaker 2>heard someone take a twenty year old car and simply

2443
02:11:42.079 --> 02:11:44.920
<v Speaker 2>throw a charge on the air conditioning system. Never once.

2444
02:11:45.279 --> 02:11:48.640
<v Speaker 2>They will want a pressure leak, pressure tested. Sometimes they

2445
02:11:48.680 --> 02:11:50.439
<v Speaker 2>have to evacuate the whole system.

2446
02:11:50.640 --> 02:11:52.680
<v Speaker 8>I'm sorry I missed a lot of this, but a

2447
02:11:52.720 --> 02:11:56.119
<v Speaker 8>couple of things. Just because I own shops forever, you know,

2448
02:11:56.239 --> 02:11:58.520
<v Speaker 8>we would never do anything like that for free. We

2449
02:11:58.560 --> 02:12:00.760
<v Speaker 8>would pump red dye into it, then check it a

2450
02:12:00.760 --> 02:12:04.319
<v Speaker 8>couple days later. But saying that, you realize, Tom, you

2451
02:12:04.319 --> 02:12:07.079
<v Speaker 8>can go out to Walmart and for about thirty bucks

2452
02:12:07.119 --> 02:12:10.560
<v Speaker 8>by a can of you ozone killer and put it

2453
02:12:10.600 --> 02:12:11.239
<v Speaker 8>in yourself.

2454
02:12:12.239 --> 02:12:14.239
<v Speaker 22>Okay, don't know what you're doing. You can also have

2455
02:12:14.319 --> 02:12:16.880
<v Speaker 22>that can explode in your hand and you can overfill it.

2456
02:12:17.079 --> 02:12:18.399
<v Speaker 22>You can overfill it, but if you roll on the

2457
02:12:18.439 --> 02:12:20.760
<v Speaker 22>high side of that system, it will blow that can apart.

2458
02:12:20.880 --> 02:12:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, all right now, Joe, I'm not sure we can.

2459
02:12:23.680 --> 02:12:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we can get Deputy Doc working on the problem.

2460
02:12:26.720 --> 02:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>What's going on with your landlord tenant?

2461
02:12:28.720 --> 02:12:28.960
<v Speaker 25>Are you.

2462
02:12:29.079 --> 02:12:30.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh, that's they coung up.

2463
02:12:30.880 --> 02:12:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I was gonna take him and have Deputy Doc

2464
02:12:33.199 --> 02:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>take care of it. But listen, here's what I'm getting at. Okay,

2465
02:12:36.439 --> 02:12:41.520
<v Speaker 2>people I don't know. I'm filled with talking to I'm

2466
02:12:41.560 --> 02:12:45.239
<v Speaker 2>filled up. I'm over talking to people who buy cars

2467
02:12:45.600 --> 02:12:48.159
<v Speaker 2>with one hundred and fifty thousand miles or two hundred

2468
02:12:48.159 --> 02:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>thousand miles on him and are surprised when.

2469
02:12:50.760 --> 02:12:51.920
<v Speaker 6>There's a problem.

2470
02:12:52.520 --> 02:12:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I swear to God, they buy them as is with

2471
02:12:55.760 --> 02:12:58.359
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty, no even two hundred and fifty

2472
02:12:58.479 --> 02:13:02.119
<v Speaker 2>thousand miles, and then are pissed off when there's something

2473
02:13:02.159 --> 02:13:07.760
<v Speaker 2>wrong with them. Don't ever buy a car ever with

2474
02:13:07.840 --> 02:13:11.479
<v Speaker 2>that much mileage. I'm Tom Martino. Don't forget three oh
