Years ago,I went thru a shop in ventura California and had them send my 2 dwarf car motors out to Russia of cw.
With a 7500 dollar deposit.
After months of nothing and the shop and then myself complaining about the lack of information as to when the work would be completed..
They shipped the 2 motors back,completely disassembled in one large crate.
No work had been done,parts missing and no refund of money.
I felt bad for the shop as I never trusted his advice again.
Stearns clear of this fraud.
