Ive been registering at all of the forums where Elliot-Tronics has been in discussion so i can warn anyone who will read this about dealing with him.
I payed Elliot to repair Two Home audio amps (Klipsch Brand). I paid him up front $254.00, and $40 to ship them to him on April 4, 2013. He promised a 20 day turn around. After the 20 days had passed I heard nothing back from him. I emailed him April 30, 2013 To check on the status of the repair and still I heard nothing back from him. I Sent him another message May 7, 2013 and He told me one amp was ready, the other he was still working on. He told me he would finish the last amp and send them both back the following week. Again I heard nothing from him the following week so I emailed him June 13, 2013. He told me he was still working on the second amp and that he should have it ready by the following week. Once more I heard nothing back from him for several weeks.
I Emailed him on June 26, 2013, and he eventually sent one of my amps back to me on June 28, 2013. Once some time had passed I sent him yet another email (August 14, 2013) as he had not made any contact with me as to whether or not he was able to finish the last amp. He didn't respond until August 23, 2013. He Told me once again he would have it finished the following week and would send it out.
After about 4 months now of not hearing anything from him I'm pretty sure ill never see that amp again. I have filed complaints within his jurisdiction in Texas, and also with IC3. I recommend Avoiding Elliot-Tronics Entirely. As far as I'm concerned he completely failed to honor any of our agreement, and flat out stole my property.
