We called the number listed on the Craigslist ad for mobile mechanic service. We were told his name was "Rick." He arrived at our home to do an estimate for the repair and he asked for a small deposit so he could buy the parts. He gave us a written receipt for the deposit and promised to return the following morning at 8:00 A.M. To complete the repair. He never showed up the next day. When we called him, he gave us the excuse that his mother was rushed to the hospital that morning with congestive heart failure. He stated that she was stable and that he would be at our home within an hour. An hour came and went and we called him again. He stated that he had a flat tire on his truck and he needed to replace the tire. After several hours of excuses, he never showed and refused to answer his phone any longer. I have been in contact with someone who he stole over $2000 for a moving service that he never showed up for. This man needs to be stopped!
