Grease Monkey

[dtcerrato]

It's so cool seeing several buses under the sky in the middle of nature being worked on by their owners & each other with Scott & Tyler in the mix. Even a spouse getting greasy & gritty doing uninstalls & cleaning prior to the mechanics getting on it. It don't get any better than that. They have a grand thing going for the bus community. Just ask the country's guru - Luke! Keep on keeping on. What the world needs now is love sweet love.

Yes, I had a gripe. They make lots of income from the videos which is fantastic.  That's not the real issue.

Issue is when you have been on their waiting list. Then follow their requirements in order to get work done. They book you then don't  follow through.

Part of the requirements  was you had to join patreon at the 25.oo level minimum. 

You don't  book a job and not show up. In our case we relied on Scott to fix our first bus in PA. He chose while he was on the way to skip us and continue on to Ohio. We lost our 1k deposit on that bus.  By the way we did find another better bus. It was still a lot of money to loose.

Now we spent over 400 more to be on patron just to get work done on our other bus but covid stopped his travel. That is understandable.  Now we have a bus that we were able to move to their property that is near them. Tyler did book this job two months plus ago. Now they say they are booked out and still no follow ups from them.  At one time you could talk with them. Then you can't as they don't answer.

They have taken a bit of our money. We have not watch many of their videos in the past year as they had nothing to do with vintage buses.

I have learned that there are many shops our there that yes charge 96.00 per hour
Such as gene russel NC or Ted up in Williams California. There are guys in other parts of the country that have tools that scot don't have. He has a long way to build a shop with proper tools and is working on it.

But, to burn the bridges with people  who have supported you for three years.  I can only wonder how many more feel taken advantage  of.  I found more than 5 people  in my travels who developed a bad taste.
I try to stay neutral but, I need to post our experience.  Just be aware.

I will not speak about engine rebuilds here either

Airing dirty laundry smells bad. The only one good at ever doing that was Don Henley

We need to know the bad, for our protection, and the good, for our benefit.
