Attn: John Yoakum .. NC tenneesee

I contacted john about machining my spindles for me, along with sending me a yota hub and yota rotor, to do the 5 lug swap on my nissan the right way. He told me it would be a 3 day turn around, but he was also getting me some stock spindles b/c i chewed one up when my ghetto 5 lug, broke. He said he knew where a few sets were. He recieved the money 3 weeks ago, cashed it instantly and I havent seen anything. He was a GREAT guy to talk to, would talk as long as you wanted, answered everything, in general a great guy. He's known through a few of my VERY good friends, like Cass and Josh and some others, so i figured, no problems. He was suppose to ship 3 weeks ago, after seeing nothing for 2 weeks, no answering of PM's, no call backs from my VM and no calling me back after heather answered and was told the situation, i got pissed. Luckly, Cass calmed me down and emailed him and he told me they'd ship monday, they were boxed and ready and he'd email me back a tracking number.. It is saturday, no trackin number and no reply to emails. I know he has no reason to fuck me, but i'm getting fucked, i feel i am anyways. He knew i went with him b/c of his fast service, he knows i NEED my truck back on the road, its my daily, my gf and i share a car, which is hard considing i leave for work at 3am and get home after 5pm, and she usually works in the 4pm to whatever area..

I didnt make this thread to start a fight or to kick him in the mud. He said he's working long hours, but heather was home at 430 to answer my call last week, ups store doesnt close till 8pm. I'm sure either of them could of made it there. I made this post to give him the chance to send me my 2 spindles for a nissan, machined to fit a yota bearing correctly, 1 pass side yota hub and rotor or a money order sent to me, for 175 bucks and I will send it to someone who will send me parts. I hope someone he hangs with a lot and who really cares about him, will nudge him to ship my stuff.. cass and josh helped a lot, thanks guys..

YO POTTER JOHN IS A VERY BUSY GUY..HE WOULD NEVER SCREW ANYONE ON PURPOSE..IM SURE THERE IS A PROB SOMEWHERE WITH SOMETHING...ILL TRY MYSELF TO GET AHOLD O HIM AND SEE WHATS GOING ON..JOHN HAS DONE WORK FOR ME AND SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS....I WILL APOLOGIZE ON HIS BEHALF UNTIL HE CAN IN PERSON....ILL PM YOU WITH ANY INFORMATION I GET

I know he is a GREAT guy and wouldnt fuck me.. he's got an outstanding report from EVERYONE i know.. which is why i went with him.. hell i just want them to ship when he says they will.. i understand being busy, i work 63 hour weeks, have been for over a month and i work my 1 day off at the shop.. i just NEED my truck on the road, it could easily cost me my job if i dont.. which he knows.

yeah he took forever getting me some hubs once but i got em eventually.....it was like a month or two but hey some people got a lotta shit to do. just hope you didnt burn a bridge being too worried you are gonna get screwed. we have all been screwed at one time or another.....but he isnt the guy thats gonna do that to you.

i dont think i burned a bridge.. i had to ask out to ppl who knew him to get him to answer me in the past, why would i go unheard from b/c i dont want a bridge burned?

i still like the guy, i wanted his friends like brian, jeff, etc. to ask him what is up with my order b/c he wont tell me what is up. He said the hold up was my hub got sent to someone else.. but now everything was packed and ready and was leaving his place monday and i'd get an email with the tracking... i've gotten nothing.

I just want either my parts, an answer, or my 175 back. I dont have 2 months to wait, he knew this before taking me on as a customer

ill see him monday for sure...ill drive down to where he works and see whats going on...i was supposed to go down there this past monday but my dad is not doing so well so i stayed in alabama for a few more days than i should have

i'm out to a show, but jeff, if you could do that, i'd appreciate it.. hell if everything is sitting there boxed, drop it off at UPS for him.. even tho it seems i'm bitchin, i still mention him first to other ppl who want 5 lugs, i have no 'dislike' towards him, i just need my parts, bad.

i am also waiting on a set of mazda hubs he told me he was sending them out last monday still not here was told they was boxed up and ready to go he was a very cool guy and felt safe about sending him money but that was the first and last time he talked to me left vm and mesg with no reply the hubs are off a daily driver been over a month now if u could check on mine that would be cool i have more people that want theres done but at this point i dont really want to use john again my name is jason from sc if u dont mind checking thanks

i know john and he wont screw you. yes it does take him awhile but in the end the work is worth the wait.

the deal is, he told me 3 day turn around time from when he got my spindles.. mine got fucked and he said he knew where a few sets were he'd get me a set NO problems, then he said my hub/rotor was messed up from what i was describing, he said he had one of each laying around he'd throw in for a little more money.. So i figured a week turna round time.. not 3 weeks.

the deal was, he knew i went with him b/c of his turn around time. my truck broke a wheel bearing on the side of i44 in MO on my way from okla to PA where i was moving.. if he couldnt of done it in less then a month or 2, he should of told me..

and yeah, i know he is a good guy, he still is in my book.
