Hi Dennis!!! We miss you!!!!! :D :D

[Guittard22]

I get my free post in- before this post gets shut down - a lot of members had issues with him - I had a few emails back-and-forth when I first got my marauder I'm getting a few parts but we never seem to lock down on certain parts that I was looking for and you never seem to get back to me on a timely basis .

[martyo]

and you never seem to get back to me on a timely basis .

Who is the "you"?

[martyo]

Here is a car he "finished" off:

Wow. There is a local marauder for sale with the kit offered by Reinhart. I wonder if the seller had issues. I've been watching the car as I am on the verge of jumping into a Marauder. This thread (and others) has me second guessing anything with a Reinhart name.

I wouldn't be afraid to buy the car but I would go over it carefully.

Ive met some people who really like him (pre marauder days). I tired to buy his cooling mod kit. No luck getting one. Just bought one off eBay. New still in the bag. But obviously been laying around awhile. Came yesterday, took parts out to look it em. Nice parts Shame so hard to deal with

He sells on ebay????

[kmac]

I have his tune on my 03. whenever i return it to factory tune my sepedometer is crazy off and i get about every engine code known to man.

[88LTDCV351]

My first purchase from him was fine. Then I went supercharger kit and it went down hill from there. He kept saying things were in the mail or some other excuse for like over a year but they would never come. Asked for a tracking number and never got one. Had to keep hounding and calling him. Did eventually get most of the kit over a long period of time but then gave up dealing with the guy. I've heard one or two others say they got their kit by calling and calling the guy as I was doing. But a customer shouldn't have to call the guy every day for years on end to eventually get what they bought. Chris is going to help me finish my supercharger kit.

I know where this is heading and I wish you the best of luck because you will need it. You may win in Court but winning and collecting are very different.

Out of curiosity, how much of your money did Dennis treat as a gift to himself?

[martyo]

Can a mod sticky this thread?

This is a community forum and the community needs to be constantly reminded.

[CWright]

If he's stolen more money then this thread needs to become a STICKY! I know the OP is limited on what he can say out here but any details would help. I've seen WAY TO MANY GET SCREWED by DR!

How could DR still be in business stealing all this money from people. He should be in jail

Someone really ought to contact the Florida State Attorney General.

Good LAWD Marty! I didn't see that mileage on the sad POS when I was there!!! THE AMOUNT OF MONEY spent and what it's going to take to finish or even put back to stock is SICKENING!!!

I've had (for the most part) good dealings with him. The only issue I had with him was to send back all the performance parts I received that was packed in my shipment by mistake. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't even lift the box my cold air intake came in. I didn't know stainless exhaust manifolds were that heavy.

Bob, we already put the car back together and delivered it to the customer (cpe6).

When the car was done it was nice despite Dennis's best efforts to ruin it and the thievery he engaged in along the way.

[Spectragod]

I had a couple dealings with Dennis, I got my parts, and in a timely fashion. I feel lucky after reading some of the stories.....

[CWright]

He took care of me too but got a little slow at the end. My problem with him is how he SCREWED some of my friends when I referred them to him. He jerked them around and it embarrassed me. I DON'T GO FOR THAT AT ALL! My name means way to much to me.

Marty has got 100% of my business now and that is where I will stay!

[Spraying46]

What issues are you having?


Getting my money back since he never sent the blower kit. Dude kept saying it was shipped. Well if it's shipped shouldn't you have a tracking number . Never got the tracking numbers

Oh, Lord.
Over one year on this forum, this guys name only brings out broken promises and lost money, even parts taken from customers cars.
How the heck can thieving go on for so long? How can he sleep?:confused:

[solo5057]

D.R. told me to **** my self and I never sent my parts, screw that guy he is a punk... and all he did was talk trash about this site. if you need anything ask marty first he will always help you out. does a great job at tune's and remote tune's.

[justbob]

He kept telling me that my control arms were on order and that Metco was delaying the process. Originally quoted 2-3 weeks. After enough calls to him over a 5-6 week period I called Christy at Metco just to find out he never even placed an order...

Needless to say they weren't about to let their name get trashed! After a few minutes I got a call back from Christy and was told it was handled and the control just left the facility heading my way!

POS lied when I called him out saying "emails don't get delivered sometimes". My response was "but banks never say no to the money you deposit when an order is placed".

Who ever asked how he sleeps at night, I'll tell you how. LOOK BEHIND YOU.

[O's Fan Rich]

Best Marauder call I got was from a now very good friend who rang me up when I mentioned I was going to pull the trigger on a Vortech kit from DR back in 06.....
That may have saved me from a second heart attack....

HI DENNIS!!!! :D

[martyo]

I thought cpe6 bought Embassy's car?

He did but he also owned another car which we had to rescue from Dennis. And I do mean rescue as in with a truck and trailer in covert ops.

This is what Dennis did to cpe6's car for something like $25,000. Not shown are all the parts that "disappeared" while the car was in Dennis's hands. Oh, also not pictured is a performance motor Dennis left exposed to the elements and was therefore trashed.

A little word of advice....use the BBB website but most importantly, follow up with the BBB. There are three complainants that BBB never heard back from and closed the complaint.

DR is not registered with BBB and his rating is a D.

He used to use the BBB logo despite the fact that he was not a member. Then, I believe, BBB even dinged him for that.

He also must have some drones, because the BBB shows 5 positive and nada negative experiences. I saw it on the internet, it must be true. Those with bad experiences need to contact the BBB. :argue:

I've read so, so many threads all leading to the same question in my mind: how is this person NOT brought up on criminal charges :confused:
not looking for a public forum reply, it just amazes me..... Think about it, 950 miles away from DR. Four owners of company's that worked on my car were willing to testify against him, one in Ohio & three in NJ. Time away from their work ($$$), fly them to Fl.( $$$), rooms & food ($$$). Case gets continued, fly all home, nothing gained but spent a lot of money. When is it not worth it & he knows what he is doing. On the bright side out of something bad (DR) came something good thanks to the good people on this site. I have a 10 second MM & I am very happy. That's somthing DR can't take away nor could he ever build one. HI Dennis :)

[J-MAN]

Agreed....

[ts-pa]

Every time DR gets mentioned, I can't help but think of the old movie title.

As a reminder, I had the white 2000 Grand Marquis with the DOHC swap done about Sept 2007.

The Good:
DR seemed genuine with every dealing I had with him. Even went so far as to lend me his car for about two months while he took longer to finish mine than stated. I felt bad when he described how some on the internet were bashing his reputation and meddling with his livelihood. He almost seemed to treat me and my car with the hope that if he did it right, he could be somewhat vindicated of previous negative claims.

There were issues, specifics are not worth mentioning since they were minor compared to what I read others had experienced. He did seem to make a good effort addressing each as they came up. Each issue took longer than I thought it should, but I know I wasn't his only customer.

The end result of my car seemed reasonable. I had six good years of usage with minimal issues. I could of had more years if I didn't wipe out on a patch of ice.

The Bad:
I did not read about him before taking my car to him. I got a friendly "notice" about him, but I was too naive to catch on to it. Unfortunately, it was after the ball was rolling. I never spoke about the issues that I had during the car mod. I dismissed it and took it as being normal for modding, but suspected much worse. I could be specific, but it wouldn't do well other than bashing after the fact.

From observation, it would seem that he was very disorganized. Perhaps this is why he has issues with shipping?

The Ugly
More serious though, I was hoping the best for DR ever since I dealt with him. Sounds like it didn't work out very well. "The ugly" being all the negative that you can read about him online.

Personally, it is all water under the bridge. The only reason I'm mentioning this now is to say "Research the business that you are considering doing business with beforehand!"
