This is an "Ol' Timey" good Ol' boy place. I had been taking our machines to this place for years until the new owner Ralph Jenkins took over. On February 15, 2001 I took my machine in and the guy tells me $50-55.00 to do the repair plus parts. Ok there's a sign that says $35.00 minimum so I’m OK with the $55.00 max on repairs. He says he will call in a couple of days. Four days go by and so I call to see what the bill is, $63 and some change. I asked him what happened with the $55.00 max.
He says "its only 8 dollars more" then he then tells me if I don't pick up equipment today it will be a $5.00 a day charge for storage and then he hangs up the phone. Now this is the employee who hangs up the phone on me so I call back to speak with the owner (Ralph Jenkins) a devil straight from hell who was just as rude as the employee.
I call the Bethlehem P.D. to accompany me to pick up the equipment. This is a bitter man who begins to lie to the Deputy denying what was said over the phone and says that I threatened him.
I ended up paying a total of $63.42. I was told by the Deputy that I could refuse to pay and take him in front of the Magistrate, but who has that kind of time. It is always better to avoid these kinds of businesses if you know beforehand the type of people that are running them.
