Unreal. It's a shame to see that this happens.
100% agreed; the price threw me off, right along with the lack of editing in his advertisement. Big red flags.When I owned my propeller shop, we always had the place looking spotless. Everything was well organized and clean. Painted floors and very bright lighting. We got many compliments from customers on how professional the operation appeared. Frankly, anyone who would trust their stuff to a place that charges 40-45 dollars an hour should not expect much. Profit has to come from somewhere. Ironically, if this guy got his act together and went legit, he could probably make a living at it, but I suspect he doesn't have the skill, knowledge, or desire to do that. Sad.
Although on the other hand, when I see a shop that is too clean, I assume no real work is getting done, or they're hurting for business.When I owned my propeller shop, we always had the place looking spotless.

That's also in Canadian dollars, not real dollars.100% agreed; the price threw me off, right along with the lack of editing in his advertisement. Big red flags.
Sounds like different guy. This guy (this thread)initials and name mentioned in above news clip.For the Ontario guys. Anyone use a guy out of Aurora area with the initials EE? If so I would like to know if you' were satisfied.
Maybe it's the same guy that ripped people off around Barrie?
He is a man of expertise in the snowblower repair industry as well apparentlyFor some reason, his rates are cheaper if he works on your snowblower. Perhaps he has access to more used snowblower parts?

Bingo yep that's him. Hopefully people post his info on 705sleds to warn others. I feel bad for all the people or young first time sled owners that get ripped off by this guy.Had plenty of experience with CHRIS B, he posted under this forum at one time under the name 'RXL' back in 2016. He uttered threats on my life and my families life INSIDE THE BARRIE COURTHOUSE. He was charged formally for this event, I have the papers in hand to prove it. He was let out on recognizance, violated it and had to be bailed by a guarantor.
I had given him a 350cc single cylinder motorcycle engine to repair and was suckered out of the dollars for it until I tracked him down via his criminal record. In fact, if he had not threatened my life in front of court officers and been charged for it.. I may never have been able to find him and get my money back.
It took him 14 months to pay me 100 each month. Guy is a major loser.
It seems he is currently located at: 601 West Street S Unit 5B, Orillia, ON L3V 5H7
His prior shop location was: 369 mapleview dr. west, Barrie, ON, L4N 9E8 ( FULL THROTTLE RECREATIONAL REPAIRS )
Like a bad smell that just won't go away, it's back.FOUR SEASONS REPAIRS in Orillia now shows as 'permanently closed' on google maps.
We are going to have to keep up on this POS criminal. I hope his next shop gets found and posted here.
