Friday's is a good thing. Jeff fic Kimera transmission. What's
going on, Jeff?

Speaker 6 (01:23):
Day in, day out, same on me.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, Kevin wasn't here last week. I'm you seeing you
every week? Yeah, you got so busy at the store.
You had to play store manager.

Speaker 6 (01:32):
You had to work for a living. That's Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's how it works. How is biz, guys?
I mean, are we picking up in the automotive? Is
a lot of repairs where we at.

Speaker 6 (01:40):
It's been weird, it's been pretty schizophrenic.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, Like, give me an idea, though, Why what do
you think so going on?

Speaker 7 (01:46):
One minute you can't keep up. You're chasing your tail,
just trying to get anything done, and the next minute
you're having the guys call the phones to make.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Sure they're working. Yep, yeah, same thing. We're busy three
four days and then the fifth day.

Speaker 8 (01:58):
Dad.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
You're a little different, chef, because your average, your average
job and ticket is how long in your shop? Five days?
Three days?

Speaker 7 (02:06):
Because of the parts supply problems, which we've been talking
about forever. I tell everybody to plan on five to
ten business days and if we can get it done,
faster we will.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Yeah, okay, So I mean you have that car, while
you have it more than a week.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Ten, it's strands a lift for a few days at least.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
And Kevin, you're generally in and out in the day right.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
For that, we do heavies that that'll sit, you know,
that'll be in the shop for three, four or five days.
But yeah, we had to turn and burn you know,
fifteen twenty cars a day.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, you got to move it. Car counts everything. Now
let me ask you guys this pricing. So we've heard
about the tariffs, especially when it comes to auto parts.
Are you guys actually seeing an increase in say, alternators,
break pads, stuff you deal with every day. Let's go
to oil filters for you, Kevin, is it really nothing yet?

Speaker 6 (02:50):
I haven't seen anything yet. And if it is, it's
very very small.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
It's the same as it would be without hearing about
the tariff exactly. Not that it can't get worse.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
It may be coming still. So we just don't know.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
How about transmissions, Jeff. For parts for transmissions, well, they've
been going up forever.

Speaker 7 (03:07):
I mean the cost is you know, probably tripled in
the last couple of years since the whole COVID things
made everything blow up. We did notice after the teriff
were announced, one of the manufacturers did in preparation of
the terraff They haven't even experienced them raised prices on
certain goods that they're coming out of Mexico or Canada.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
So they're pretending their cost went up and it didn't.

Speaker 7 (03:28):
Yeah, they were acting like oil speculators, and you raise
the price now because you're going to pay for it tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
I'll give you an idea that to tries mean us.
Do you guys remember when oil was really high and
everybody ups FedEx any delivery, fuel charges.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
Tress services, every surcharges yep.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
And then somehow when it went down during Trump's first
run there and during COVID. I remember during COVID there
was a gas station one in Elizabeth and one in
Parker Gallon. That was only like five years ago, guys,
but that fuel search yard still didn't go away.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
Well now they're calling environmental charges.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, it's all bs. It's called profit.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Call it what it is. It is.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
It kills me with restaurants too. Why in the hell
do they actually charge uh extra and call it Back
in the day they called it a COVID fee. Now
they call it whatever staff this, Why don't you just
raise the price on the stake or the drink, you know,
why try to fool people that your prices are better
than they are?

Speaker 9 (04:30):
All right?

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Three zho three seven one three eight two five five.
I was ready to go to Zach dere Kelly. I
have no idea if he dropped off, but he had
a real estate question. We got three lines open, three
zero three Martino. Do you guys see uh some of
those Supreme Court Uh, I guess wins for Trump. I
guess that's the way to put it. I'm not going
to pretend to understand them, but I guess one federal

(04:54):
judge now cannot shut down, uh, the entire country based
on a ruling only for that case in front of them.
That was a pretty big one.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
That was huge.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
And then the other one I heard just coming in.
I forget what state it was, but someone basically sued
the state because there were books that the teacher was
reading that had Tennessee Tennessee.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
BTQ not wanting their kids to be forced to read
LGBTQ books.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Or non LGBTQ parents not wanting their kids to have
to participate. Yeah, and they ruled on that saying basically,
the parent has to be notified and they can opt out.
So I mean that's an interesting common sense Well you
would think it's common sense, but we know in this
in these days right now.

Speaker 7 (05:43):
You have the other one too. I think it was
North Carolina where they upheld not being able to use
federal funds for planned parenthood.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Oh yeah, that was YESTERA or Thursday. Yeah, yeah, I
saw that too. So if a state like Colorado, that
one was interesting because they we're trying to force a state,
and we're talking about any state that decides we're not
going to pay for abortions. In that state they could not.
They were sued saying that Medicaid have to pay for it.

(06:13):
And remember Medicaid is not just the state, it's the
state and federal government. So when the federal government stopped
paying for it, it puts it all on the state. And
the state said, well, we're not going to pay for
abortions anymore for people on Medicaid or the poor, if
you will. And basically the Supreme Court said, yeah, they
have the right to do that. But I think a
lot of that went back to the state rights.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
I went to specifically for the state, which opens the
door for other states that want to participate the same way.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, exactly, And you know, Walk.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
I'm very much pro choice, but I also am against
the federal government pay for any of these things, whether
it's NPR or plant power. There should be enough private money.
If you want to support them, go ahead and with them.
My money should not be going to these organizations, even

(07:03):
if I'm in favor of what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Well, I like, I look at it a little different.
I think people in a state, and I don't care
what the issue is, if the people, the majority of
people in that state vote to give say, free lunches
to everybody, the majority of people, then if I live
in that state, I'm going to abide by that. I
might not like that exact thing, but I do agree

(07:27):
if everybody votes for it and it's on the ballot.
What kills me, doc is when something's not on the
ballot and we have zero control over it.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
Well, I agree.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
I'm not saying that if the state votes for it,
we shouldn't do it. I'm just saying, principle, I'm against it.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Have you guys been keeping up, and I promise Zach
will go to you in a second. And we've got
two lines open now three oh three seven one, three eight,
two five five anything you want to talk about. But
I'd love to sink our teeth in fact, Depity Doc
would love to make some calls and try to get
your money back from a bad contractor have you guys
been following this so called quote bridge to know where
that police wants to build that goes out of the

(08:03):
state capitol and then kind of wraps around to the
other side of the road.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
I know that was real. I thought that was the
first time I looked at it.

Speaker 10 (08:11):
I heard it.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, so I I really didn't know anything about it,
but I watched Kyle Clark. Now, I disagree with almost
everything that comes out of the man's face, but I'll
say this, we absolutely agree on this twenty thirty million
dollars for this bridge, which is going to be nothing
but a monument to Polus. Meanwhile, what is it? It's

(08:34):
a pedestrian bridge and it's like a big snake. It's
the wildest looking thing you've ever seen. Hey, Dragon, have
you guys been talking about that on Browns at all?

Speaker 11 (08:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (08:43):
We talked about how ridiculous it is.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
It goes from nowhere to nowhere, and it'll just be
a place for homelesses to hide in graffiti and crap
to be.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
And they've tried everything. They go, well, it's handicap accessible.
They're like, what what are you talking about? The building
already is handicap accessible, And tell me you'd on to
roll a wheelchair up that thing, right exactly. I mean,
it's ridiculous. You can just get off in the front
of the building and take the elevator. And then the
other thing. That's absolutely absurd. Then they said, what was
one of the other things? They said, the people that

(09:14):
are for it, not just the handicap but they were saying, like,
oh my god. They had two or three things that
Kyle was talking about, and every time one was shot down,
they'd come up with a new reason.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
To have a picture of it on somewhere mark that
we can look at.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
I'm sure if you go to nine News you can
see it. But I was shocked was a brown shot
that Kyle is on the same page.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
A little bit.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah, I'm like away, So it's absolutely crazy. I hope
they don't do it. And here's what here's really the
real argument. Here's what I want you guys to think about.
Let's say the guy gets donors to pay for the
whole thing his rich friends. I mean, let's face that
this guy's worth three four hundred million whatever. He's one

(09:56):
of the richest governors there is. So let's say he
gets people to donate thirty million to the city in
order for this project. The big argument is that money
can still go towards all kinds of things, not that bridge.
I mean, it could go towards veterans for their whole
housing that they're spending money on.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Everything else, all.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
The housing, I mean, it could go to anything. I
just it's crazy. He wants to build this thing and
it's ugly as hell. Hey, Zach, what's going on with you? Man?

Speaker 9 (10:27):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Now, y'all the other day we're doing great, Zach. Hey, listen,
I got to take a break. I wanted to pick
up and get moving with you. But give me an
idea of the actual problem we're dealing with. And we're
going to think about it during the break and come back.
We got to get an attorney on we'll get that happening.
But give me an idea of what's going on.

Speaker 11 (10:46):
So we were under contract. We just moved houses at
a buyer under contract for our old house, and they
canceled on a sole premise of mold presence under the
vapor barrier in the crawl space.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
So basically, well, hold on. You guys had a signed
agreement for a certain price. I assume there was a
inspection clause in there saying they could hire someone and
come out inspect a house and if everything, if if
he finds stuff over five hundred bucks or whatever's in
the contract, then you renegotiate. I mean it was a

(11:18):
standard real estate deal. Basically, yes, sir, okay. So what
did they find? They found mold in the crawl space.

Speaker 11 (11:28):
The inspector claimed that the crawl space was infected with mold.
I have the picture pulled up. He just said, mold
present under vapor barrier, recommend removal. When I looked at
the picture, I'm a contractor, I do underground utilities. I
looked at I said, that's that for essence, it's materials,
mineral build up. Okay, I can conduct any objective testing.

Speaker 9 (11:48):
It was just based upon visual Yeah.

Speaker 11 (11:51):
And because the potential buyer's daughter had extreme asthma, they.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Oh, they used that. They use that for an out
on the kind. So do we know for a fact
that it wasn't mold. I realize you eyeballed it and
you don't think it's mold. But did you actually go
the next step and get it tested?

Speaker 11 (12:11):
Yes, sir, within twelve hours. I had a friend of
mine that owns a lan K testing environmental testing. Yeah,
take samples to a lab, independent lab. I believe it
was Atlas Lab.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Can you have the results in everything? Yes, sir, and
there's no mold. No interesting. Hold on three oh three
seven one, three eight two five five Roberts got an
issue with the transfer case. Hey, Kelly, I want to
get up Frank Duran first. I don't think we need

love them. It's worth the free call. Three oh three,
four two one seventy one hundred. Now, very interesting call here.
So here's the bottom line, Zach and Zach, correct me

(14:27):
if I'm wrong. Basically, you had your house up for sale,
You had a buyer, you know, the buyer agreed to
the price, everything was signed, You had a contact or
a contract in place, and then when the inspection period came,
they hired an inspector. The inspector came out and claimed
that there was mold in your crawl space. You looked

(14:50):
at it, and you're a contractor, and you said, no way,
that's mold. You went and got a sample and you
sent it out to a lab and the lab came
back and basically said there was no mold whatsoever. Correct, yes, sir,
Then did you I'm curious on the timeframe here, So
at what point did the did you lose that buyer?

(15:12):
At what point? Was it the same day, the next day,
was it after you gave them the evidence there was
no mold? Was it before?

Speaker 11 (15:22):
So Tuesday night of this week, we got a call
from the buyer realtor canceling the contract because of the
premise of mold. And it was stated verbally that that
was the sole premise de termination because their daughter has asthma,
at which point I was concerned. We've been living there
for ten years for my family's.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Health, and that's what I had it tested.

Speaker 11 (15:40):
I brought in a third party, independent tester. It took
it to I believe at list, but I could be incorrect,
but a third party lab within that occurred Wednesday morning
at eleven. By Wednesday afternoon at four, we had negative
test results. I also brought in a remediation contractor for
them to assess and tell me what it would cost
for In the meantime, they did testing, determined that there

(16:03):
was a complete lack of moisture. They used their infrared
gun to are sorry, their thermal.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Cameras, so they said there's no mold.

Speaker 9 (16:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (16:13):
So at that point our realtor took it back with
the negative findings to the buyer's realtor. They said they
would reconsider. I contacted the inspector myself to just ask
him why with no objective testing he would list on
an inspection report presence.

Speaker 9 (16:28):
Of mold because it was all visual Yeah.

Speaker 11 (16:29):
No laboratory testing. And he basically told me he just
was an expert and.

Speaker 9 (16:34):
He knew that.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Okay, so let me ask you this. So what did
the buyers end up saying? Did they come back to
here in no way? Did they try to beat you
up on price? What was the ultimate ending?

Speaker 10 (16:45):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (16:45):
Well, just burrowed me for a quick say. I ended
up texting the inspector because he would. I left him
two polite voicemails to contact me to resolve this. He
refused to respond, so I sent him a text message
explaining that I needed this retract it or the next
cality from my lawyer, you know, seeking compensation through the
court system or his airson omissions policy. He called the
realtor of the buyer, who called my realtor and chastized

(17:09):
them for how unprofessional and how put off she was.
That I would contact her inspector and that it would
be unethical for him to revise.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah, but all that's just who cares? I mean, like really,
who cares? Ultimately, though, you must have lost this buyer.

Speaker 11 (17:25):
Yes, She stated that in her opinion, she didn't want
to proceed with the deal and that ultimately would be
up to her clients, but she was going to advise
them to cancel. All right, Well they'd already terminated, but
not to re engage. Yeah, lot the buyer, and now
I have a second mortgage to pay for an inflated
mortgage based on the lack of equity.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
And you're saying that's your damages because you wouldn't have
bought that other house if this inspector, if you knew
this inspector was going to say yed mold even though
you didn't. I mean, that's kind of how you're trying
to calculate damages. I assume your question is can you
should you go after the inspector? Do you have any case?
Is that kind of your question.

Speaker 11 (18:04):
Yeah, That's what I'm curious about, is well, and I
will sell caveat it this way. The statement was verbal.
I don't have anything written, so I'm thinking there's not
a legal case there.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Well, okay, well let's say even if it was written.
So you're saying in his report, wait a second, you
just I don't understand this part in the inspection report.
You probably haven't even seen it. I don't know if
you've seen the actual reporter.

Speaker 9 (18:29):
Now you have it right here.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, does it actually talk about the mold?

Speaker 8 (18:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (18:35):
So on the it's actually item six point six point
one upper cross space mold growth found.

Speaker 9 (18:40):
On the barrier.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
So okay, hold on, so a couple things here, and
I do have an expert on Frank durand the real
estate man. This guy sold more homes probably this year
than like thirty realtors put together. So I mean, this
guy has run across everything in the world. I don't
think we need to get our attorney on, but I'm
willing to get Brad O'Brien two to talk about this
if necessary. But I want to give my interpretation of

(19:05):
what's going on, and then I'm going to bring Frank up.
You did not have a contract whatsoever with this inspector.
You didn't hire him, you didn't pay him, you didn't
agree to anything but allow the buyers into your house
to look at the property. He could have said anything,
and this is you know, I want to use a horrible,

(19:28):
crazy example. He could have said, we think that or
I think they were cooking meth in the basement at
some point. And let's say there's no meth residue, there's nothing,
there's no reason anybody would actually think that, but he does.
But that's going to be his opinion. In my opinion,
there's that I don't know exactly how it reads in

(19:50):
the agreement or in his report about the mold. But
I don't even think that matters because he's working for
somebody else, not you. So I don't think you have
a leg to stand on if you spent the money
on an attorney and one after him. But I want
to bring in Frank durand the real estate man. Frank,
I asked him all the questions again, so you would

(20:13):
have a good picture of what's going on. I don't
think he would have. I don't think Zach would have
a case now saying that. I think this inspector is crazy.
If everything Zach said, I mean, that's just a really
bad deal. But I want to hear your thoughts, Frank Mark.

Speaker 13 (20:31):
Good morning friend. You know I'll tell you that we
run into this stuff from time to time. And one thing,
buyers they have several outside of a contract, as far
as the inspection goes, it's the buyer's sole subjective discretion Mark.
So basically the buyer doesn't even have to give a reason.
They could just simply terminate. There's not a lot you
could do with that. Now, we run into situation sometimes
various things where they come and say, oh it needs
this or needs that, or has mold and I always

(20:53):
tell mysell ar the same thing, always get a second opinion,
which it sounds like happened here. But even then it's
the buyer's sole subjective discretion and that they're still within
their rights of the contract. There's really not a lot
you could do to keep them in the contract.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
We're not talking, Frank. I don't think Zach or definitely myself,
we don't think the buyer did anything wrong. What we're
saying is they hired someone that came out and gave
an opinion on the cross space. That opinion turned out
to be wrong. Do you see or have you ever
dealt with anybody successfully going after an inspector.

Speaker 13 (21:27):
I've never seen it, although I'm sure it's happened somewhere, Mark,
but I'll tell you. Look, I'll give you a quick example.
I had a property in Aurora. The inspector said, oh,
it has foundation issues. So the buyer says, I want
fifty thousand dollars off the price, and the seller said,
forget it, I'm not doing that. So we called an
engineer out, an actual engineer who specializes, and he came
out and says, look, this is not a big deal.

(21:47):
This is probably a twelve hundred dollars fix, not a
fifty thousand dollars fix. And even then, you know what, Okay,
we were just wiser to the next buyer and still
sold the property. But we do run into that. Mark
I had an inspect one time he tried saying that
the fireplace didn't work, and the seller said, is a kidding.
He has to know how to turn it on, and
he sent me a video of him turning it off
and on. So we run into this from time to time.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
But there's my point is I doubt there's any recourse
at all.

Speaker 13 (22:13):
I honestly I would seriously doubt it. I mean not
giving a legal opinion, of course, but I would seriously
doubt it in this kind of instance, because I'm telling you, inspecters,
many times we find the misdiagnosed stuff out. Let me
get a second event.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Let me ask you, hold on, Zach, Frank, let me
ask you this. I think this could create another problem
for Zach when he enters into an agreement selling this
house with the next person, and he's got to go
through and list out any issues. And I believe one
of them in the disclosures actually asks about mold or
at least water damage, right, correct, So if what would

(22:48):
you possibly knowing? Okay, let's say you worked for Zach,
knowing what you know about the case right now, and
someone said there's mold, but you also know and let's
pretend you saw the test results there wasn't any mold.
Do you have to disclose that someone thought there was mold?
Could that lead to an issue?

Speaker 13 (23:10):
It's not so much you have to disclose with somebody thought.
But here's what I would say, here's how I would
handle this with a seller. Right, say, look, you've already
had it tested. You already had somebody prove or show
that there's no mold. This is something we could provide
on what's called the supplemental documents to show them in
good faith that has been tested. However, you the buyers,
still have the right to do your own independent inspection
if you'd like. Wow, sometimes that's going to take the

(23:32):
wind out of the sales of the next inspector because
they could tell it's already been tested.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Yeah, but that could also scare the living But Jesus
at people, because you know, now Zach puts on there,
how would you actually what does it look like? On
the disclosure. I mean, really, what does the line item
say to the best of your ability to remember the
exact line.

Speaker 13 (23:52):
So two things I would tell you on item made.
They asked if there's been any water or you know,
any kind of any issues like that, or if they
have to disclose mold that's on there. But I would
say this mark. This is just from doing this real life.
I definitely see what you mean that that could potentially
scare people. But this is what I find in real
life when you already overcome that before it becomes an issue.
I've never ever had a buyer to say I'm not

(24:12):
going to buy a house. Never had it happen. If anything,
that gets them filing a lot more relaxed about the situation,
knowing that's already been looked at.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Yeah, that's crazy, man, Frank.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Let me ask a question.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
You tried to prove a negative.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
What if the what if you put on a contract
that there's no snakes in the house. Just because someone
said there might be snakes doesn't mean that you have
to include it. If someone says a question about mold,
there's no mold, So why would you even have to
report that somebody thought there was mold or it doesn't
make any.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Sense to me.

Speaker 13 (24:44):
Well, Doc, let's let's talk about that though for a minute.
You bring up a good point. Now let's think about that.
It's not wrong.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Hold on, Hold on, guys, hold on, both of you.
Let me do this. I'm going to put everybody on hold.
I got to take this break or Dragon's gonna throw
me out the window. Everybody, hold tight, lines full.

oh three nine two zero sixteen twenty two.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
All right, three O three seven one three eight two
five five. I'm gonna just dive right back into this.
Deputy Doc brought up a great question. So basically, here's
where he Here's just a quick recap.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Basically, this guy, Zach, is gonna have to put his
house back up for sale because there was an issue
with the inspection. The inspectors said there was mold. To
turn out there wasn't mold. So we were asking Frank
or doc ass Frank, when it comes to selling your
house in the future in a new buyer, do you
have to list that there was an issue with mold

(26:12):
on the disclosure even though there wasn't. In fact, Doc
put it. Why would you fight the negative? And then
we were giving you a chance to answer, Frank so,
and I brought Zach to call her back up. But Frank,
why why would you list it? Instead of if we
know there is no mold because he had it tested,
why list it?

Speaker 13 (26:33):
Friend? So, I would say this, I want to be
real clear what I'm saying. I'm not saying necessarily that
you disprove a negative, and I'm not saying you listed
if it's not found. What I'm talking about is due
diligence documents. The next buyer may come in and say, okay,
part of the due diligence documents, we want to see
any previous inspections if anything was come. The bottom line
is this, let's say you had your furnace service by
whatever company. Okay, there's nothing wrong with providing that documentation

(26:54):
it's already been checked or you've already had a check
for mold. Nothing wrong with providing that to the next
buyer that it's already been checked for. It's still on
the buyer to do their own individual inspection. In other words,
you're not disclosing something that's wrong. You're simply given the
due diligence documents to the new buyer.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Well, let me ask you this. What happens if the
new buyer said, can they ask, hey, has there been
an inspection done since the house is for sale? And
if they asked that, I mean, what appens if you
simply lie about it?

Speaker 8 (27:21):
No?

Speaker 13 (27:23):
Well, I would certainly tell them if there was an inspection.
I would certainly tell if there was an inspection. And
then we talked to the sellers.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
They're good, Yeah, But what's the harm? What's the harm
in saying none of your business or no? And I'm
not saying you would do this, Frank, That's not what
I'm I'm trying to understand. What would be the ramification
if any to zack the caller? If someone did ask
them Hey, has there been an inspection before and can
we see it? What would be the harm or what
could possibly happen if Zack said no, It's not like

(27:52):
he's swearing under oath.

Speaker 13 (27:54):
Well Mark, think like a buyer for a minute. Kay,
Let's say you ask a seller of that question or
the agent that question. They don't want to answer your question.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
What do you think and you're no, you're missing me.
I didn't say not answer it. You say no.

Speaker 13 (28:05):
Okay, or you say no okay, So same kind of thing.
I would say this. This is just from doing this,
not from theory. I'm just talking from doing this all
the time. I've never had this comeback to buy us ever. Ever,
when you put everything on the table, and even a
situation like this where we know there's no mold, we're
not saying there is. We're just simply saying we've had
it tested. Here's the report. If you'd like to see it.
You can still do your own individual inspection that has

(28:27):
never heard a deal. I've never had a buyer once
say they're going to walk over something like that. If anything,
that puts their mind more at ease that this seller's
taking the caution to do those things.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, it's just so crazy because you know I take
things to the extreme. You know, I have a roofer.
I have a roofer come out, and you know, I'm
selling my house and the buyer has an inspector come
out and says it needs a new roof. But literally,
I put the roof on a week ago. Now I've
got to disclose that some jerk said I needed a

(28:57):
roof when it's only a week old.

Speaker 13 (29:01):
Well, we run into stuff like that too, Mark, Oh
my gosh. And again I would say the same thing.
I always get a second opinion because I've had inspectors
come out and say roofs had to be replaced, when
it turns out we.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Call a real rook and they get certified.

Speaker 13 (29:13):
And they say, hey, this is not even a big deal.
This is a minor fix up. It doesn't have to
be replaced.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
So let me do this.

Speaker 8 (29:18):
Zach.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
You got, Zach, I'm going to give you two options here,
any questions for Frank and if you really want us
to get our attorney on, I don't mind. I do
not see a lawsuit in a million years happening because
you didn't have a contract with this person. You have
really nothing to do with the buyer and who he
hired to inspect. I don't know how you could possibly

(29:42):
go after either of them for any kind of damages,
but maybe the attorney knows something. I mean, that's all
the guy does is live and breathe it. So one
I want to know if you want me to get
an attorney on next hour to answer that question? Yes
or no? Clo Okay, do you have any questions for Frank?

Speaker 11 (30:00):
Two questions if you don't mind. The realtor stated to
my realtor. The buyer's realtor stated to my realtor would
be unethical to revise the report post issuance, even if
the information was false.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Frank, what do you think of that?

Speaker 13 (30:18):
Unethical to revise the report? Jeff? Could you please walk
me through what he means by revise the report.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Well, I'll tell you what he's saying, and I'll make
it quick. He's saying, instead of the report that says
there's mold, the guy goes back and doesn't talk about
molden says there wasn't mold and pretends the first one
didn't exist.

Speaker 6 (30:36):
Correct.

Speaker 11 (30:37):
Well, the retracted because we've proved it had.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
To retract it incorrect, Almost like stealing a criminal record.

Speaker 13 (30:43):
I've ran into those things too, guys. And here's what happens.
When the new buyer rights in the due diligence documents,
they may ask for those things. A lot of times
they do, and in which case, this is how you
solve it. You say, Look, previous buyer's inspector said this.
We had an actual mold tester come out. They said
that you're welcome to do your own test and that's it.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
So I mean, once again, nor can you force him
to do it, Zach, because once again, you don't have
a contractor in agreement with this guy. What's your second question?

Speaker 11 (31:11):
Is it possible to seek compensation to his missions and
errors insurance policy?

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Who's the missions and errors?

Speaker 9 (31:19):
I believe this specter?

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Well, no, because you never hired him. You have no
reason to go after him. You don't have a contract
with him. Hold on a second, I do want to
get Brad O'Brien, but I'm going to take some other calls.
Let's get Zack's number, Kelly, and sometime next hour let's
line up him and Brad O'Brien, because he keeps coming
back to that and I don't want to give him
bad advice, saying there's not a chance in hell. But

(31:43):
that's truly how I feel. But I want to know
what the actual attorney thinks about it. By the way,
Frank Duran, the real estate man, you know what, It's
funny anytime I question him when it comes to anything,
because I remember dealing with you, Frank years ago, selling
our house in Castle Rock, and you wanted to list
it for lower than I thought we could get for it,

(32:06):
and I shut up and I followed everything you said.
He ended up getting me more for that house, not
only than I thought we could ever get for it,
but he got more than that same model in the
entire Red Hawk neighborhood everywhere, which is crazy. Some of
the lots were even bigger, and he got more money.
He knows how to create that bidding war. So when

(32:27):
I question you, Frank when it comes to disclosures and stuff,
understand it's coming from an educational standpoint. And if you
want to use Frank, and if you don't use him,
you're crazy. He sells more homes in one month than
most palators sell in the entire year. In fact, I'd
say in a year and a half, three oh three

(32:47):
nine twenty sixteen twenty two s Frank's number. He'll always
talk to you. A best guy around, probably top realtor
in the state, and sells not only quicker, but for
more money. I got to take a break, everybody. Thank you, Frank.

hundred bucks. But now for thirty seven hundred dollars, Paul's
got a system that's unbelievable. Not only does he get
rid of the forever chemicals the plastic in your drinking water,
and it's everywhere, people, it gets rid of it in
the whole house. It's not point of use. Everything, every
tap in your house, every shower is not going to
have that plastic that's just horrible, and it's everywhere. You're

(37:01):
going to get rid of that. It's going to soften
the water, and it's going to take care of the chlorine.

competition could easily easily be fifteen thousand dollars for the
same stuff. Don't be fooled. The best for less waterpros
dot net call up for that special waterpros dot net.

(37:23):
Now we're going to go right to the phones and
we have a transfer case question from Robert. Robert, what's
going on?

Speaker 6 (37:30):
Man?

Speaker 15 (37:32):
Yes, I had a transfer case repaired in my truck
and it's still leaking. I need to take it to
somebody who can look at it and hopefully get me
an estimate of what they think needs to be done
to repair it for free or little, because I don't
have much money left, but I need to have it
looked at before I go back.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
Actually, you do the person in six stick, Robert.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
The job was done by us, if I'm hearing your
voice correctly, and that's under warranty. Yes, yeah, it's under warranty, Robert,
so it's free for us to fix it.

Speaker 15 (38:10):
I wanted to have and looked at so I can
have it done again. We'll see what the.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Second, Robert, I'm a little hold on Jeff just one minute.
I'm a little confused. You know Jeff was here today?
Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (38:24):
No?

Speaker 15 (38:25):
I didn't think Jeff is gonna be there. I thought
Autotech was gonna be there.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
I have no idea who Autotech is, but nor do
I care if if Jeff did something to your transmission
and you have a leak. What he's telling you is
And this is the part I'm not understanding, Robert. It's
under warranty. If you bring it back to him, he's
going to fix it. So why I don't understand. Let
me ask you this because I want to be one

(38:49):
hundred percent fair because maybe I'm not understanding something, but
Jeff fixed it. Then you noticed the leak. Why wouldn't
you call Jeff or why wouldn't you bring it back
to him or whoever worked on it.

Speaker 8 (39:01):
I have an appointment. I have an appointment with Jeff are.

Speaker 15 (39:04):
The gentleman on Monday, okay, And I thought it was
the motor leaking. Okay, but I don't know if that's
what's going on or not.

Speaker 7 (39:14):
Well, Jeff, I'll tell you there's a seal behind that motor, Robert,
and that would have been something that we replaced at
the time because we had to put a case half
on there because he sat out a typical holder.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
Bore into it.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
Is that a rear main?

Speaker 7 (39:26):
No, No, this is on the transfer case. So this
is the four wheel drive, okay, And there's a motor
that actually works it well. Behind that motor is a leak.
Is a seal rather, And he's saying that that's leaking, Well,
that would have been something we did and that's something
that would be performed under warranty.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
So even though it's on the engine side, you're saying
it doesn't matter because that's something you guys talking.

Speaker 6 (39:44):
About the shift motor in the t case, not the engine.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
Oh, and that's what's leaking. Yes, the motor itself is
not leaking. Okay, the motor doesn't have the ability to leak.
There's no fluid in it.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
Got it.

Speaker 6 (39:55):
So the seal behind it is leaking.

Speaker 7 (39:56):
And when I talked to Robert yesterday, he was asking
me about replacing the motor, mentioned the leak, so we
were already planning on tackling this leak. But he was
asking me about replacing the motor. So we had a
discussion about that, the time and the cost.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
So why I guess I'm lost then? And I already asked, uh,
I asked Robert, But I'm still confused. Why is he calling?
Are you upset with Jeff?

Speaker 14 (40:17):
No?

Speaker 15 (40:17):
No, Jeff is a very good guy. He didn't work,
but I was just the guy before him didn't do
it right.

Speaker 6 (40:25):
So I took it to him.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Okay, and he's saying, he's saying, so you already know
what it is.

Speaker 6 (40:30):
I already know what it is, and it's under.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
Warranty, it's under warned, and he was set to come
in monday.

Speaker 6 (40:35):
You got it?

Speaker 4 (40:35):
So why why the call?

Speaker 11 (40:38):
Though?

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Robert? And I'm just curious. I'm not trying to beat
you up or say anything. I don't understand, that's all.

Speaker 15 (40:44):
I just don't understand why it's leaking after I pat
that that amount of money, and I wanted to be sure.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Because I'll tell you why, Robert. I'm being honest with Robert.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
Parts fail.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
It's it's not just parts, but I mean, it's just
human nature. Things happen sometimes, it doesn't matter, it doesn't
matter what it is. I mean, things happen. But that's
why there's a warranty.

Speaker 6 (41:07):
And if we would have looked at it, it's heard
an auto tech. The first thing I'd tell you is
take it back to who did it, not just because
it's Jeff, but give them an opportunity to make it right.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Yeah, they're gonna fix it right up.

Speaker 13 (41:18):
Man.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
We'd never try to jump another job that way.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
You got any other questions.

Speaker 15 (41:25):
Robert, No, I just want to just want to happen
looked at. So when I take it back to him
to be sure that it gets fits. Now, I'm just
don't know what to trust or whatever, because why.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Robert, I gotta listen. I hate to even keep going
down this rabbit hole, but I don't get it. Are
you simply upset that maybe the seal failed or something happened,
or did something else happen here?

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Jeff?

Speaker 4 (41:50):
Is there something like did you hit on his wife
or something? I mean, I don't understand where he's coming from.

Speaker 6 (41:57):
No, that's not yet.

Speaker 13 (41:59):
I just want to be sure.

Speaker 15 (42:01):
I took it to him under good prechanses from five
people that he would be the guy to do the job.

Speaker 8 (42:07):
Yeah, and I took it.

Speaker 16 (42:09):
But yet I'm here.

Speaker 17 (42:12):
At home again, like I was, I'm checking the fluid.
I'm not able to drive it because I don't want
nothing to dry up or none to get messed up. Yeah,
and that's the thing I'm worried about.

Speaker 6 (42:22):
He's just disappointed.

Speaker 7 (42:24):
And you know, and I wish I could say that
every job goes right every time. Unfortunately that's just not
the case.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
But you're gonna fix it Monday.

Speaker 6 (42:31):
We're going to fix it.

Speaker 7 (42:32):
There's just hands down, we have no problem covering our work.
We take a lot of pride in our work, and
we want you satisfied.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Yeah, Robert, they're going to handle it Monday. Man, Then
you're gonna be in good shape if they Here's what
I'd like you to do. I'd like you to call
is it a one day job or is it a bit?

Speaker 6 (42:46):
You should be able to get it done that day.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Yes, yeah, so you should have it back Monday. I
want you to call it tuesday. Okay? Is that cool?

Speaker 15 (42:55):
Well it takes a couple of days because when.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
I okay, then call it next Friday.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
Listen, man, I swear to god, I tried to have patience.
I'm trying to figure out where he's coming from. But
we're just chasing things. Now, that's what a warranty's for.
I don't care. I bought I talked about water pros
and we had a water softener. Now, nothing's happened to it.
But if something did happen to it, I would call
up Paul and say, hey, I've got a five year
warranty or whatever the hell to warranty is. Would you

(43:21):
fix this? I mean, I get it. I mean how
many days after the repair is this? Jeff? Is it
is it recent?

Speaker 6 (43:27):
Yeah? No, I think we completed it last week.

Speaker 4 (43:29):
Yeah, okay, Robert, I swear I get it. It's an inconvenience,
but that's what a warranty is for. Be thankful, you're
dealing with someone that's gonna hop right on it and
get you fixed Monday. And I'm not saying that because
Jeff's here. I don't care who it was. You could
have called over Midas and I tell you the same thing.
You got a leak. They acknowledge, here's a leak, they

(43:50):
acknowledge it's under warranty, and they're gonna fix it Monday.
That's the best scenario I can imagine. Well, no, the
best scenario is wasn't a problem. But that's not life, man,
That's just not life. I don't care if it's a house.
I don't care if it's a sandwich. I don't care
if I walk in and order a sandwich and they're

(44:11):
supposed to be bacon on it. Okay, I'm gonna go
back up and ask for my bacon or a new sandwich.
I mean, and if they yell, I don't even know
how I got off of that. You know what, That
might be the dumbest analogy I ever came up with. Carol,

home with Remax Alliance three oh three nine two zero
sixteen twenty two.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
All right, three oh three seven one three eight two
five five. By the way, this hour brought to you
by Frank Duran the real estate Man. If you were
listening first hour. Uh, he's a great guy. In fact,
he sells more homes literally in one month and most
realators in Colorado selling over a year, and he sells
them for more money. He's unbelievable. If you just want
the value of your house, he can tell you pretty much,

(45:36):
almost to the t, what he can sell it for
what it's worth. Check him out at Frank Durant Holmes
dot com. That's Frank Duran Holmes dot com. Now I'm
gonna bring Zach back up. Zach called in and I'm
recapping this real quick because we wanted to get one
of our experts at referral list dot com on, and
that's Brad O'Brien. So, Brad, I'm going to explain the

(45:58):
situation to you. I don't think he's got a chance
in hell, but I want to make sure. So he
was selling his house. By the way, how are you
doing today, Brad.

Speaker 6 (46:09):
Mark, I'm doing great. How about you?

Speaker 4 (46:10):
I'm doing good. I'm glad it's Friday, man, I'm looking
forward to the weekend and all that good stuff. This
poor guy, though, So Zach had his house up for sale.
A buyer engaged with him, who had a realtor, and
basically they got to the point where they signed a
contract for a certain amount. Of course, one of the
outs was the inspection. It was a pretty typical deal,

(46:31):
and they hired an inspector. The inspector, the buyer's inspector,
went into the house and in the crawl space said
there was mold. And on the report, which Zach has
a picture of he is the caller or the seller
and or both, basically it said there was mold. And
he went down there and he looked and he said, now,

(46:53):
I don't think that's mold. Long story short, he actually
had another third party come in and test for mold,
and sure enough, it was not mold. It was basically condensation,
but no mold whatsoever. The buyer, the daughter had asthma apparently,
and when they saw mold, they basically bailed on the
whole deal. They just totally bailed on it. And Zach

(47:16):
is wondering, is there any way that you can think of?
I couldn't think of one way, because one, he didn't
have an agreement with this person, he didn't hire the inspector.
There's nothing there. He's really has nothing to do with
his life. But Zack is curious, is there any way
he could go after the inspector because he blew this

(47:38):
deal for him? And the secondary question is going forward,
if he's got to disclose that someone actually thought there
was mold even though there wasn't, can he go after
the inspector for just that? So what are your thoughts
on that circumstance? But I want to make sure, Zach,
did I kind of ask your questions correctly?

Speaker 8 (48:00):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (48:00):
If I could just quickly clarify, please go ahead. My
question would be is the closing date was originally going
to be July twenty fifth, And the only thing I'm
curious about is if now the closing date on a
new perspective buyer stretches beyond that. Again, the only compensation
I would like to seek, if at all, would be
the additional mortgage payment on my old house plus the
increase on the mortgage on the current house without the

(48:23):
rollover equity.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
Yeah, he's saying those are Brad, It's pretty basic. He's
saying those are his damages. Do you see any way
that he could go after, let's say, even the buyer,
I mean the buyer. I can't imagine, or because.

Speaker 9 (48:36):
I mean the buyer, I got no interest.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
Yeah, he's got no interest. Is there anything you can
imagine that he could win in court with the inspector.

Speaker 18 (48:48):
Well, there's no breach of contract claim between the seller
and the buyer's inspection company because there's no contract between
those parties. So one thing I can think of as
a potential negligence claim like interference with the perspective business
card and not a business interference of the contract, and
that is that theoretically misrepresentation. Possibly, No, you weren't there, No,

(49:17):
I don't think so. You weren't the party that was
misrepresented too. You're just am.

Speaker 11 (49:22):
Related to a lawyer and she gave me the same rundown,
So I believe the opinion I couldn't seek compensation to
the courts.

Speaker 4 (49:28):
I just yeah, it happens. I'll tell you something that's
even worse. Sach and Brad chime in on this. Let's
say the inspector comes out inspects your house and doesn't
find something that you find shortly after moving in. You
would think if you're the one that hired that inspector

(49:49):
and they missed it, you might get some compensation to
repair whatever item it is. But if you read the
contract with these inspectors, the most you would ever get
back is what you paid for the inspection, which is
generally three or four hundred bucks. So even if they
missed a fifty thousand dollars bad roof for decking or something,

(50:09):
it generally still doesn't matter because when you entered into
an agreement, you being the buyer in this case, the
most you're ever going to get back is that the fee.
I mean, you've seen this right, Brad.

Speaker 18 (50:21):
Yeah, most inspection contracts have to find printed says you don't.
The most you can get is the amount that you
paid to the inspection company. That's a contractable way for
every right to go beyond four one hundred bucks to
pay them.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
And wouldn't you think Brad tell me this? I mean
you were saying maybe you could go after him for
whatever reason you gave. But I mean, all the guy
would really have to do is go. Look, that was
just my opinion on it. I didn't put down here.
It definitely has mold. I said there's signs of mold.
That doesn't mean anything.

Speaker 18 (50:50):
Yep, I agree.

Speaker 11 (50:51):
Well he did say I found a closing mold present
recommend removal.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
Yeah, okay, But anyway, again, I.

Speaker 9 (50:59):
Do appreciate it.

Speaker 11 (51:00):
Do you want to just carry if you want the
name or no?

Speaker 4 (51:03):
No, I don't really care.

Speaker 6 (51:04):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
I mean I don't. I wouldn't personally want to use them.
But I'm not going to beat them up over a
one sided conversation. Hey, Brad O'Brien, while I have you, Hey, Zach,
I appreciate the call man, and I hope he did
help you out or at least get some questions or
at least verify what you already knew. But Brad, couple
things man. One, when people do enter and buy a house.

(51:27):
I understand, like in Zach's case or the buyer's case,
most people use a realtor. There's no doubt. In Colorado,
we're used to it. What's ironic about that is in
New York and places on the East Coast, you have
to use an attorney. So what is a reason to
use an attorney like yourself in conjunction with a realtor

(51:48):
Give a real everyday reason where someone probably would have
been a lot happier if they use an attorney.

Speaker 18 (51:55):
Well, on any particular transaction, there's over one hundred different
issues that could pop up. Not not that they all
will in one transaction, but I'm constantly issue spotting and
anything can pop up that is a legal issue. Real
estate workers are not allowed to practice law, give legal advice,
or even prepare any contracts other than filling in blanks. Yeah,

(52:16):
so there's a whole lot that a buyer seller is
missing by not having an attorney. You know, we've taught transaction.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
We've talked about this before. But tell people what you know,
or not everything you know, but about new home builders
and those agreements because we get calls on those all
the time.

Speaker 18 (52:34):
Well, homebuilder contracts are basically leap of faith on behalf
of the buyer because it's very risky. You put a
substantial amount of earnest money down and they really tie
your hands as far as ever getting that money back.
You know, your opportunities to get the earnest money refunded
and to get out of the contract are very limited.
So the builder contracts are normally custom contract forms. Everyone's

(52:57):
different in the very long too. They might be fifty
seventy five pages. Where's the stendred contract form for Colorado's
twenty or less.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
We've had calls, Brad, and I know you've helped listeners
out where they put money down on a Lenar or
KB home. Whoever the builder is. It really doesn't matter.
I'm not trying to single anybody out. But they put
it down the earnest money, like you said, a massive
amount of money. Then they get towards the end. And
this happened over COVID big time. All of a sudden,
they thought they had that house for say four hundred

(53:26):
and fifty thousand. Now the builder wants six hundred thousand
for it. They're like, no way, I want out, give
me my money back. I thought I was buying a
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars house and the builder
goes wait a second, right here, page five, section three,
it says, if material costs goes up, we can pass
that along to you.

Speaker 8 (53:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (53:45):
Builders are constantly putting new things in their contract. So
I need to review every single line of that fifty
page custom contract form because they I've seen them sneak in,
like we you just talked about repricing a deal because
it's crazy building costs went out. I mean that, you know,
that's against the concept of a contract in my opinion.
But if you put in there that they had that right, Okay,
you just get in the contract r.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
You agreed to it. I mean, and who reads these
you know many homes. I'll say this, Brad, I you
know the last home we bought. I didn't know you,
but I did use an attorney and a realtor. I
used Frank Durand. But I had someone look over it
and it was a pretty standard deal. But I got
to tell you something. People are crazy not to have
a realtor look at it. For most people, it's the

(54:26):
biggest purchase they're ever going to make in their life,
and your nuts not to spend a few hundred bucks
or whatever to have it looked at.

Speaker 5 (54:34):
I got to put in a good word for Cobol builders.
You know, I just bought the townhouse two years ago during.

Speaker 6 (54:40):
The COVID win.

Speaker 4 (54:41):
They didn't up your price. They did not up my price.

Speaker 5 (54:45):
And when it was a delay, they said, look it's
going to take another eight months, and do you want
your money back or do you want to wait eight months?
They had no increase in the prices contract. They were
upstanding builders, Doc.

Speaker 4 (54:59):
You got real lucky on that. We had probably twenty
call ors, some of which Brad helped. In Colorado Springs,
same thing. It was a brand new condo building being built,
and they all got hit with like a twenty or
thirty percent increase, which was massive. A lot of them
couldn't qualify for that payment and they ended up losing
their earnest money. Cobel though, No, it was not. They

(55:22):
were great. Yeah, So here's the deal, Brad O'Brien. Anything

(58:23):
Now we'll get into those and once again, if we've
got to get one of our attorneys up to make
sure these landlords are doing everything right, we can do that. Carol,
what is going on with you?

Speaker 5 (58:34):
Well?

Speaker 19 (58:36):
I live in Deer Trail and unfortunately, three weeks ago I.

Speaker 10 (58:42):
Broke my ankle.

Speaker 19 (58:43):
So I was sent to a raw medical center for surgery,
and then I went to a skilled nursing facility and
the other night I realized that one of my medications
was no thing.

Speaker 6 (58:59):
Hey, Carol, let.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
Me ask you something just on the accident, just because
I mean, people are interested, and I am how did
you hurt yourself? Was it in your own house, just
you know, being clumsy or what?

Speaker 20 (59:10):
Well, I don't want.

Speaker 10 (59:11):
To build a clock.

Speaker 19 (59:12):
I guess I love to chat, but no, I live
in Deer Trail and there was a tornado for me.
Oh wow, My husband said, why aren't you at and
see if you can take a picture. So I went
out the front door and I knew I had two
steps going to the.

Speaker 10 (59:27):
To the road.

Speaker 19 (59:29):
I remember going down the step and I turned and
taking a picture and I spun. That sucks and I
just located and broke my.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
So then you ended up in Aurora, and they, basically,
I assume, said it. And then you said, what was
the nursing facility part?

Speaker 19 (59:47):
Well, they set the ankle, they did surgery, and about
five days later they sent me to rehab. And then
I'm going to rehab.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
Were you living in rehab right now?

Speaker 19 (59:58):
I'm still here?

Speaker 4 (59:59):
Okay, now I get it. So now you're you're sitting
at this nursing facility or this reab right now.

Speaker 19 (01:00:05):
I'm sitting here in my room in here.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
All right now, let's continue on. I get it now.

Speaker 19 (01:00:14):
So anyway, I'm bipolar, and I have certain requests and
I don't request too much, but I have asked them
please give me my.

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
MUDs at talking about for the bipolar, the.

Speaker 19 (01:00:29):
Bipolar and there's several different medications.

Speaker 4 (01:00:33):
Carol, Carol, I'm sorry, but why wouldn't they give them
to you? Why do you even have to request them?
I guess I don't get that.

Speaker 19 (01:00:40):
Well, I think that's odd as well. My paperwork pain
from a raw medical center. And they look at that
paperwork and they say, okay, these medications are for pain, this,
medications for anxiety, this, medications for more of a Manning
type behavior, so antipsychotics, anti neod stabilizers basically.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
Yeah. But if they're once again I'm trying to keep
you a focus here, but if they're if they're looking
at this paperwork, they know what medications you're supposed to
be taking. Why aren't they giving you the one you're
talking about? Or why are you having to ask for it?

Speaker 19 (01:01:16):
Well, they've been you know, it's been good, except for
a couple of nights ago. I count my meds and
I look and I'm like, okay, I'm missing a medication.

Speaker 16 (01:01:27):
And I mean the.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
Individual pills are a whole bottle.

Speaker 10 (01:01:30):
Oh no, a pill they give you.

Speaker 19 (01:01:33):
They give you your meds at night when you go
to sleep. I'm looking and I'm counting in my little
my little cop that they give me and I'm missing
one and I'm thinking that's one of my major bipolar meds.
And you know, I kind of didn't say anything. I
was like, Okay, they screwed up, and.

Speaker 14 (01:01:47):
I always you know, I you didn't take one that night?

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
No, did you bring it up the next day?

Speaker 19 (01:01:56):
The next day I got my medication again and it
wasn't in there again.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
But this time, I hope you said something, right.

Speaker 19 (01:02:05):
I did say something, And.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
What did they reply?

Speaker 19 (01:02:08):
They replied that it had been discontinued. They did not
have it in the facility. And I basically looked at
them and said, you guys could really mess up my
mental health by not giving me this.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
Hold on, hold on, I'm trying to understand this, Carol.
So when they say, you said two things, and it's
very important. So you said it's no longer made or
it's discontinued meaning no one can get it, or they
don't have it in the facility. What is the real case?

Speaker 10 (01:02:40):
I got it.

Speaker 19 (01:02:42):
Basically, the nurse came in and said, this has been
discontinued for you. The doctor and the nerse decided you
do not need this. But I'm looking at them going
I'm bipolar. This isn't a psychiatric medication.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Now, were they saying that? Hold on? Are they possible
saying it because the painkillers because of the whole foot issue,
or your other medications, they didn't think it was safe
for you to take them together.

Speaker 21 (01:03:09):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
No, So then why why would they Why would they
decide to take away your bipolar medication? I don't understand,
because they look.

Speaker 19 (01:03:19):
At each medication and they know what each medication does.
This is not a psychiatric unit.

Speaker 16 (01:03:24):
I know they do not.

Speaker 19 (01:03:26):
They do not mess with psychiatric meds because they know
that there's a psychiatrist that I have that's over me.
So when they go through the meds sheet, they'll say, okay,
Carrol's and pain so that we're going to give her this, this,
and this, but her medication for her bipolar meds. They're
set and set in stone. Well, basically, what the nurse

(01:03:47):
told me last night is I don't have it for
you because the doctor discontinued it for you.

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
The shrink.

Speaker 19 (01:03:54):
The I don't think there's a shrink here.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
All right, hold on a second, hold on, I got
to take I'm getting a little confused. Here's what I
want you to think about over this break, Carol. What
I want to know is what doctor said that was it?
The psychologist? Is that who said it? Or the psychiatrist.
I don't know who actually gave it to you. I
assume a psychiatrist, and if they had you on it,
I doubt some other doctor, unless if there was an

(01:04:19):
issue with the pain meds or whatever other meds you're
on now, had some kind of interaction they're not supposed
to have. I mean, I'm trying to figure out what
doctor canceled it and where we're going with it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
All right, three oh three seven one three eight two
five five. I'd like to go a little different direction
on this call. And here's what I want. I basically
want to ask Carol something though. Hey, Carol, Suzanne was
kind of reading through your emails. You mind if she
kind of gets people up to speed where you're at
and what's going on. Is that okay with you?

Speaker 20 (01:05:34):
That's perfect?

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
Yeah? Hold on a second, Suzanne. So you received this
email in through help at Troubleshoot around ten o'clock this
morning or something.

Speaker 22 (01:05:42):
Yeah, you have the second email, yes, So go ahead
paint the picture. Okay. So this is what I'm understanding,
and Carol, you can correct me if I'm wrong, But
it sounds like, uh, you uh, seven weeks before you
hurt your foot broke your ankle, all that you were
in a pretty bad mental state and was wanting to

(01:06:05):
endure life. So you ultimately ended up in an eight
week program, out patient program.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
To kind of help with those issues.

Speaker 22 (01:06:15):
And in that seven and they put you on meds
for what you know and whatnot. And then in that
seventh week is when you broke your ankle. Of that
eight week program, so you ended up in this facility.
And it looks to me, long story short, that they,
between these two different folks, they've been in the nursing facility.
They've been overdosing you on your head meds for lack

(01:06:39):
of a better term, which could be really dangerous to you.
And that's what you're calling about, is they haven't been
communicating to get your medicine right, and ultimately you've been overdosed.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
And when you say communicating, you're talking about the mental aspect.
This eight week thing. After the suicide attempt, they her
on certain meds and when she broke her foot, the
facility has her at the facility. They've been communicating, they've
been double.

Speaker 22 (01:07:08):
Dosing her on some meds that could be deadly.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
I think, so, Carol, is that is that in a nutshell?
Is there anything you want to add to that?

Speaker 19 (01:07:16):
That's in a nutshell? And it's actually between unfortunately, two
people which I'm going to have a really hard time
fighting with, and that is Aurora Medical Center started doing
the overdosing at the very beginning when they sent the
orders over to.

Speaker 10 (01:07:35):
That's a skilled nursing.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
Are they getting it? But hold on? It seems as
if from what you wrote Suzanne this morning, so I'm
kind of using your own words, that they are adjusting
your medication to try to get it right now? Right?

Speaker 6 (01:07:49):
No, no, they.

Speaker 19 (01:07:50):
They I'm going home today and I've got two dilemmas.
Last night the nurse came in and said, the doctors
decided to discontinue. The doctor's here, not a psychiatrists. We've
decided to discontinue your circle.

Speaker 14 (01:08:05):
So I don't have it for you, okay, And.

Speaker 4 (01:08:10):
I said, so, if you're getting discharged, hold on. Knowing
you're getting discharged today, why wouldn't you simply call up
the other doctor when you get home and readdress this
with them, because that's their specialty.

Speaker 19 (01:08:25):
I agree with you, But what's happening is this should
have never happened to begin with.

Speaker 4 (01:08:30):
So what is your question to me? It looks like
this is going to work itself out because you're not
going to be dealing with this place you're at anymore
when it comes to the care for your foot in
the rehab for the physical injury. But you're going to
go back and hold on. I'm going to put you
back on hold and I'll give you a chance after this.
But I guess I'm not understanding how we can help

(01:08:52):
you at this point. I need an actual question, like
I want to assume them or something. You got to
give me something to bite on here to figure out
what advice to give you, But everybody holds tight. Three

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
This is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martinez, Welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
My friends to the only show of its kind. We're
here to solve problems, answer questions, try to make your
life a little bit better. Any questions we try to
dive into everything. I'm going to go back to Carol
in the second, but basically, she called in and she's
got a multitude of problems. She suffers from some depression
and other things, and she is also bipolar. She had

(01:10:29):
a certain medication she was on. She ended up breaking
her foot. She ended up going into a in in
house or in hospital facility rehabbing with her foot. They
kind of cut down on some of the mets she
was on. She's dealing with multiple doctors, and that's kind
of where we left off. But I want to tell
you something, Carol. So you're getting out of that facility,

(01:10:52):
that rehab facility today, you're able to call your psychiatrist
and basically talk to them again about the bipolar medication.
And I think that's that's good, and that's the person
that should be making that call for you. When you're
in a facility like you are now for your foot,
they're kind of responsible for what's going on because you're

(01:11:12):
under their care. And if they want to change some
stuff up, whether it's good or not, I think they
definitely have the right to do that. But since you're
leaving there now, what I really want to know is,
what is your question for us, because I think you're
going to be able to solve your own problem once
you talk to your psychiatrist again.

Speaker 19 (01:11:31):
Well, I am talking to my psychiatrist again to find
out what I can do to get over the overdose
because they've been overdosing me.

Speaker 10 (01:11:46):
Yeah, but it's the hospital.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
They already cut it. But they but they cut it
out now. I mean, you're going to be leaving, so
that's not going to be an issue as of tomorrow.

Speaker 19 (01:11:55):
Well after three weeks of them doing it and not
knowing it. That is just not right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
I mean, I I'll ask you a question. Hold on
one second, Doc Dan, I'll leave you, Carol. What I
want you to understand, though, is if you're talking about
getting an attorney and going after them, you really don't
have any long term damages that I know about. If
the fact that let's say the medication, let's say it's
the opposite, that they were overdosing you on something and

(01:12:22):
all of a sudden your life is going to change
for the rest of your life, I mean, that would
be something to go after. But they're adjusting the meds
and you're going to be back to your idea of
normal pretty soon.

Speaker 19 (01:12:35):
Yes, I agree, with you, But I do have to
talk to my my psychiatrists and ask him. I've been
on double the medication for three weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
And you can you can ask it, and you can
ask him if that could have done any you know,
permanent damage or whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:12:50):
Doc, go ahead, I was gonna say, Carol, you sound
pretty lucid right now. Yeah, so there obviously are know
long term effects for three weeks of being overdosed. If
you were comatose, or you couldn't talk, or you were
falling asleep, or you couldn't sit still, if you had
some manifested signs of overdose, it would be one thing.

(01:13:11):
But if all you need to psychiatrist today is to
give you the correct doses, there's no problem.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
Yeah, I don't I agree with Doc. I don't see
a problem. I wanted to ask you, Carolina. Side note though,
when you do you recognize like when you have a
do you have manic episodes? You feel horrible? We already
know because of the suicide attempt, you go way down,
But do you go the other way too? Do you
get manic to where you're just crazy full of energy?

(01:13:38):
Or I mean kind of give me an idea of
your own interpretation of your own diagnose diagnosis.

Speaker 19 (01:13:45):
Okay, basically, bipolar is mania in depression. So when I'm manic,
I just speak really fast. I am a jabber mouth.
I run around like a chicken with my head cut off.
I try to do way too many things at one time,
and I don't get enough flop. When I'm going to
the depressive episode, you know, I'm down. I'm feeling like

(01:14:06):
the world is not my best friend, and I just
kind of sink down in there. Right now, my black
polar medications are the most important things to me, along
with a a psychiatrist and accounselor.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
Do you know? Do you notice? I don't want to
dig back into the actual question because you're going to
be dealing with your psychiatrist and I think you're going
to be fine going forward. But what I'm curious about
is when you're in either of those stages of bipolar,
do you actually recognize them or does like your husband
have to point them out and then once someone points

(01:14:41):
out to you, hey, you're being manic, then you recognize
it or do you know it while you're entering that phase.

Speaker 19 (01:14:49):
I do know why I'm entering that phase, but with
after trying to commit suicide. I went into an intensive
outpatient therapy. They teach you dialectical behavioral therapy, which is
basically to love yourself and end your suffering. So they
put you into a frame of mind that this is

(01:15:11):
what frame of mind you're in right now. Think about
what you're doing, try to distract yourself, and then they
pull you out of it. You put your own self
out of it by learning through these counselors, and they
are amazing. So I was seven weeks in broke my foot, and.

Speaker 21 (01:15:30):
I was really good. I was very good.

Speaker 19 (01:15:32):
At handling the situation, but kind of didn't handle it
really well when I knew that I was getting too
much medication.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Yeah, and maybe you're focused, maybe, Carol, just maybe part
of this extreme focus you have on it right now
and maybe you know maybe rightfully so you're angry your
medication has changed. You were going through this process, you
were seven weeks in. Everything was helping you. I can
understand the frustration. I can understand that. But maybe a

(01:16:00):
little bit of your feelings you're having right now about it,
maybe that's part of the problem. Maybe you should apply
everything you learned in the seven weeks to this because
going forward, it's going to be fixed. Why dwell on
what happened? Why not kind of exit out of this
the stage you're in right now, If that makes sense,
I'm sure. I'm sure a doctor would say it a

(01:16:23):
lot better than that. But I think you understand what
I'm saying.

Speaker 19 (01:16:26):
I totally get it, and you are right. I think
that just being able to talk to you and mention.

Speaker 14 (01:16:33):
Something to you about this has.

Speaker 19 (01:16:35):
Actually made me feel better.

Speaker 14 (01:16:37):
It is going to be remedied.

Speaker 10 (01:16:38):
You are right. I can get out of my head
with this.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
That's good and I.

Speaker 10 (01:16:42):
Will be okay.

Speaker 4 (01:16:45):
Well, we wish you could.

Speaker 19 (01:16:46):
Doesn't happen to anybody else, you know what.

Speaker 10 (01:16:48):
I'm good.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
I really wish you. In fact, we all here wish
you the absolute best. I hope you get back to
that therapy. And I'm really happy I put her on hold.
I'm really happy she seems to be It seems to
be affecting you in a great way. Yeah, I mean
she kind of just talking a little bit seemed to
help her out a lot, So Carol, really, we appreciate it.
We'd love to hear a follow up. If you're ever

(01:17:11):
feeling really bummed out, you can reach out and email
us and it doesn't have to be on the air.
We don't mind communicating with you, and I hope everything's cool.
She sounds like a sweetie Mark, she really does. In fact,
I think Doc said it. I think Doc said something
that I picked up on. She seems very lucid right now.

(01:17:32):
She seems to have everything put together. And it's got
to be a struggle with that kind of disease would
be really hard. And you know, we've all probably known
someone in our lives that has suffered from it. There
used to be a talk show host here. In fact,
he did some advertising for me. Do you know who

(01:17:52):
that is? Dragon? You probably haven't been around long enough. Oh,
I know that J Marvin. J Marvin, and he I
paid him for endorsements, just like I advertise for people.
And he was the hardest sucker to work with. I'm
telling you. There was some days me and this guy.
I remember, I'm paying him, I'm the customer. There was

(01:18:14):
some days that were just absolutely miserable dealing with this guy,
Like I can't even explain it. There'd be days he's
pissed at me. Just well, what I learned is he's
pissed at the world. It had nothing to do with me.
But other times he was so elated and happy you
would think he won the lottery. It was quite remarkable.

(01:18:34):
It was really quite remarkable. If you ever talked to
Shannon here about Jay Marvin, he absolutely couldn't stand working
with the guy. He said it was one of the
hardest things in the world. And I can see why
just from the interaction I had to deal with now.

Speaker 5 (01:18:48):
I think Carol just wanted a confirmation that that the
whatever perceived overdose she might have gotten, yeah, is not
going to have any long term effects.

Speaker 4 (01:18:59):
Yeah, and he's right around the corner. Well, the remedy
is that he sh just need a remedy.

Speaker 5 (01:19:04):
There are any long term effects for three weeks of
potential overdose.

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
You know what I mean is as far as the
proper dose, the remedy is gonna be after she talks
to the sie psychiatrist. All right, three oh three seven
one three A two five five. We're gonna have one
line open in a second, Karin, you're up next. We

Speaker 20 (01:21:03):
Okay? Well, I was working and then I got laid
off and I was unable. I was able to get unemployment,
but I was having some health issues you know here
and there. And then when I was selling better in
the unapployment, and then I started looking work and I
just haven't been able to find anything.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
What is your trade?

Speaker 20 (01:21:29):

Speaker 20 (01:21:43):

Speaker 4 (01:21:44):
And what did Amazon say, Sadex.

Speaker 20 (01:21:46):
They're just not hiring right now.

Speaker 4 (01:21:48):
Nothing.

Speaker 20 (01:21:49):
But I have an interview tomorrow, like a second interview.
I've done the phone interview, but that's not going to
help me for Monday.

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
No, So are you actually facing the hearing monday or
was that for from the notice or give me a
little more there.

Speaker 20 (01:22:02):
It's from the notice. I sent you a copy. So
I went there and spoke with him because on the
notice it only has for May, and so I did
a gofund me because I.

Speaker 14 (01:22:11):
Have no family, literally, I have no one.

Speaker 20 (01:22:13):
To help me. So the notice just has May. So
I was like, well, if I could do the go
fund me and possibly get May. But that's where he's like, well, actually, no,
you owe May in June, which I do owe. Yeah,
and he said, well you owe May in June. He said,
actually care in July here, so we would have to
do that and I said, I understand that.

Speaker 14 (01:22:35):
But on the plane, A couple of.

Speaker 4 (01:22:36):
Carrigs for Monday, Karen, A couple of things. Number one
I basically it's saying hold on thirty day notice as
of service. I'm just reading this hold on within thirty
days of the service on demand or in the alternative
all a vacate you will have limited.

Speaker 20 (01:22:53):
Un lost bag thirty days.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
So Mark, Yeah, so thirty days is Monday, right.

Speaker 20 (01:23:00):
Well, that paper, I'd already received that paper like before,
because I owed for May. He'd given me that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
No, no, no, that's That's what I'm saying. Basically, Monday, what
happens Monday? What's going to happen Monday?

Speaker 20 (01:23:13):
Okay, well Monday, I have to fill out the papers, because.

Speaker 14 (01:23:17):
I went and spoke with him the other day.

Speaker 20 (01:23:19):
To the papers to for Monday. I have to show
why I think that. You know, I don't owe this,
but I do owe this. So he said Monday. By Monday,
I need to make like arrangement with him, and he
could do it over four weeks, okay, equals like twelve
like maybe twelve forty five for May, June and July.

(01:23:41):
But I don't have a job today, I mean hopefully.

Speaker 4 (01:23:45):
Just There's just a couple of things I want to
tell you. One the bottom line is Monday, you don't
have a court hearing. You understand that, right?

Speaker 21 (01:23:56):
Well?

Speaker 20 (01:23:57):
Yes? And no?

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
Well what do you mean? Yes? And do you are
you supposed to be at court Monday?

Speaker 20 (01:24:03):
Well that's what I thought, But after speaking with him,
he said that I just need him to make an agreement.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
Well okay, Karen, Karen, please, this is so important. Have
you been served and you have to show up to
court Monday? Not not this notice I'm looking at.

Speaker 20 (01:24:21):
This is all I have. That's what I sent you.

Speaker 14 (01:24:24):
That's all I have.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
So I want to tell you it's not necessarily good news,
but I want to tell you this. This is basically
you know it's pretty much a demand letter. They still
would have to go through the eviction process, file the eviction,
and then you might not go to court for thirty
sixty days. Then you would basically be kicked out of

(01:24:47):
the place. So you're not facing having to leave anytime
soon because you don't even have a court day yet,
and if he hasn't filed the eviction or she hasn't
filed the eviction, it could be a while. So now,
I I just wanted to say that, so you don't
think they can show up and kick you out on
Tuesday if you don't make a deal. Now, you should
make a deal. The problem that I see is you

(01:25:09):
don't have a job. I realize you're trying to hold
on you don't have a job, and I understand you're
trying to find a job. When's the last time you
actually worked.

Speaker 20 (01:25:19):
It's been about four months.

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
Okay, you haven't worked for four months. You haven't paid
rent for three months. So your GoFundMe is great, and
I don't even mind telling people what it is, but
I'm gonna put a caveat on that you don't have
a job. What's gonna stop you? If people do use
their hard earned money to help you out. What are

(01:25:41):
you going to do next month? If you don't have
a job, do another gofund me. I don't understand your
long game right exactly.

Speaker 20 (01:25:50):
Well, I'm hoping that tomorrow. I did that job, and
I did some applications a couple of days ago on indeed,
and I see I've got a couple inspects there where
they're wanting to set up interviews. That's what I'm saying.
I didn't even make an agreement.

Speaker 4 (01:26:05):
Who did you work for? Who was the last company
you worked for? Four months ago?

Speaker 20 (01:26:10):
It was Stereotech and Good.

Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
And what did you do for them?

Speaker 20 (01:26:14):
Medical assembly?

Speaker 4 (01:26:15):
And how long did you What is medical assembly like
putting together a wheelchair or what?

Speaker 20 (01:26:20):
No, they do biological indicators when I understand, okay, well
as much as I want to understand, So what did
you do prior to that?

Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
Who did you work for?

Speaker 20 (01:26:31):
I work for that would have been Lockheed Martin doing
cable assembly.

Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
And how long did you work for Lockheed?

Speaker 10 (01:26:39):
I was there two years, okay?

Speaker 4 (01:26:41):
And then how long were you at that last company?

Speaker 8 (01:26:45):
Two years?

Speaker 4 (01:26:46):
And then how about before Lockheed?

Speaker 20 (01:26:51):
I worked for a circuit board company doing inspections.

Speaker 4 (01:26:55):
For how long.

Speaker 20 (01:26:57):
I think it was there four years.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
Okay, it's kind of interesting. That's better than I thought
I was going to hear from her. There's a lot
of people I talk about or that that fall into
the same hole you have, where they're late on rent,
they lost their job, whatever that you know, have had
twenty jobs in eight years. You had three jobs in
eight years, So that's actually not bad. Guys, What is

(01:27:19):
your opinion on that when you hire somebody? Just Kevin
Caukin just.

Speaker 6 (01:27:23):
Absolutely you don't know a job hopper.

Speaker 4 (01:27:25):
No, you don't know what do you consider a job?
Do you consider her a job hopper?

Speaker 6 (01:27:31):
Absolutely not. I think that's her. Her work history is great.

Speaker 4 (01:27:34):
Yeah, it's a lot better than a lot of apps
that I've looked at over my life.

Speaker 6 (01:27:38):
So I don't blaming anybody else for why she's not working.

Speaker 4 (01:27:40):
So look, I don't mind if you want to give
out your GoFundMe if that's your endgame in this call.
I don't know what else. I really like the fact though, Karen,
that you acknowledge that you owe the money, and if
you show up at an eviction hearing, you're going to
get evicted. So I really, I really do appreciate that.
A lot of the calls we take they don't want

(01:28:01):
to come to that reality. I think it would be
a lot better for you if you already had the job.
That way, people would feel better about it giving you money.
But it sounds like you're on the right track. Is
your is your ailment over your for whatever reason you
couldn't work? Are you completely over that?

Speaker 20 (01:28:19):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:28:20):
Go ahead?

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
What what is the what is the GoFundMe? Go ahead,
you give it out?

Speaker 20 (01:28:25):
Well, actually I don't uh, I'm not that I don't
know how to say.

Speaker 4 (01:28:31):
It, do I Just well, generally on GoFundMe you can
search something so I don't know if it's your first
and last name, I don't know.

Speaker 20 (01:28:39):
I'll just tell you what it says.

Speaker 4 (01:28:41):
Well, you can tell us what it says. But if
someone actually wants to donate to it, hold on, someone's
got to explain that to her. Suzanne, maybe over the break,
explain to her, or find the GoFundMe and we'll give
it out for you. Margie, your next David's got a

lost it about four months ago. Why did you lose it?
You got laid off?

Speaker 14 (01:29:56):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:29:57):
Yes, so you didn't get fired, you got laid off. Yeah,
So what happened? What happened to the money you got
with unemployment? Why didn't you use that? That should have
been about eighty percent of your pay right.

Speaker 20 (01:30:11):
For my rent? Then I had a car payment and.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
So yeah, but if you were getting eighty percent, why
where'd the money go? I mean, you were making x
amount now you're making only eighty percent. I could understand
if you were just shy twenty percent, but you seem
to be shy the whole amount.

Speaker 20 (01:30:29):
But I didn't make that much at that job, so
I didn't make that much on unemployment.

Speaker 4 (01:30:34):
So you were still struggling to pay the car and the.

Apartment, yes, and then insurance.

caring person and you're very patient, especially after that last call.

appreciate it, but hold on. I want to bring something
else up that Jeff brought up. Jeff Vick camera transmission. Jeff,
tell her what, Tell her what you were thinking during.

Speaker 7 (01:32:17):
The Depending on her separation, whether or not the Family
Leave Act would actually give her some sort of relief.
She could reach out to the state and get some
funds from that way. She paid into that for the
last couple of years.

Speaker 20 (01:32:27):
I don't think so, because I was I was already
gone from that job.

Speaker 14 (01:32:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
You've got to I see what.

No, that's what I'm saying, there is no more unemployment.

Or were you on it before?

No? No, I had it for six months.

Speaker 8 (01:33:50):
Hi?

Speaker 4 (01:33:51):
Hi?

Speaker 10 (01:33:52):
So this is kind of a little bit of a weird,
long story. I will make it as short as possible.
I'm actually calling for my daughter. She rented a office
space two years ago, okay, and she was on the
first year. She was on a one year leaf. After
that it was year two.

Speaker 14 (01:34:11):
It was months a month, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:34:13):
She just is on a commercial property, right.

Speaker 10 (01:34:16):
Yes, okay, it's a commercial property.

Speaker 20 (01:34:20):
And she.

Speaker 10 (01:34:23):
Ended up signing a contract with him to clean the
property or the upstairs of the building and keep the
bathroom cleaned. He would pay for all of the cleaning
products and all of the you know, toilet papers in exchange.

Speaker 4 (01:34:39):
Help me out here, help me out though, Martie, was
that in exchange for the rent.

Speaker 10 (01:34:45):
It was he was paying her two hundred dollars a
month to do that. Yeah, and she was paying him
one hundred dollars for the office space.

Speaker 4 (01:34:55):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (01:34:56):
Back in January, she the at the end of January,
the toilet broke and she tried to get a hold
of him, couldn't get a hold of him.

Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
Now, when you say it broke, like it started leaking
or what are we talking about? Here.

Speaker 10 (01:35:09):
Yeah, like it like flooded half of the upper.

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
Floor or was it while she was working on it?
What caused it? And how?

Speaker 10 (01:35:17):
What caused it?

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
But was she doing something with it or she just
happened to be walking by and it was flooding.

Speaker 10 (01:35:26):
She walked into the She walked in to go do
some stuff in the afternoon in her office space, and
the carpet was soaked. Okay, yeah, and so she went
and looked. She shut the water off immediately. And so anyway,
she's trying to get a hold of the owner of

(01:35:46):
the building. Can't get a hold of him.

Speaker 4 (01:35:49):
Did she get the water turned off?

Speaker 10 (01:35:52):
Yes? Okay, keeping he turned the water off immediately. She
couldn't get a hold of the owner, so she started
getting worried. She called the police and asked them to
do a welfare check on the gentlemen.

Speaker 4 (01:36:05):
Oh my god, why wait wait, wait wait, that's a
big sentence. Why like he's the elderly or why would
she she can't okay, so, oh my goodness, okay, so now.

Speaker 10 (01:36:16):
What So so they show up and yes, he has
passed away in his house.

Speaker 4 (01:36:21):
Oh my god, hold on, hold on, this is getting crazy.
But I gotta take this break everybody. Hold on three
oh three Martino, Go with a sure.

Speaker 4 (01:37:08):
All right three three seven one three eight two five five.
This one's taken a wild turn. So bottom line is this,
Margie's daughter has some office space. She pays about three
hundred bucks a month the landlord or the owner of
the building she's doing some work for. She'd clean the
bathrooms in the building, do some other stuff, get two
in her bucks a month. So she noticed that one

(01:37:29):
of the toilets was leaking when she went to use
a bathroom, and it was flooding and there was water everywhere.
The carpet was wet, and she turned the water off
as soon as she found out, which was great, and
then tried to reach out to the landlord. The landlord
she couldn't get in touch with. And she's known the
guy for a while and basically used an older person
in his eighties. And she called for a well check

(01:37:52):
because he wasn't returning calls, not answering the phone. The
police went out there and sure enough, Uh, Margie, the
guy was passed away. He's dead.

Speaker 10 (01:38:03):
Yes, what what happened?

Speaker 4 (01:38:06):
Just on that part? I know it has nothing to
do Did he have a heart attack? Was it natural causes?

Speaker 9 (01:38:11):
I bet?

Speaker 8 (01:38:12):
Or what.

Speaker 1 (01:38:14):
You know?

Speaker 10 (01:38:14):
To be honest with you, we never found out. Okay,
she didn't really go into you know, did.

Speaker 9 (01:38:20):
He own it?

Speaker 4 (01:38:22):
Was it like a was it just the landlord or
was it the owner of the building? Who was this person?

Speaker 10 (01:38:27):
It's the owner. It's the owner of the building.

Speaker 4 (01:38:30):
So what happened to the building in his estate?

Speaker 10 (01:38:33):
So so this is where things get tricky. So he
had passed away. No one knew there. So the building
is a two story building, the bottom part of it.

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
There's none of that matters, but what happened.

Speaker 10 (01:38:48):
But well it does a little bit because okay, bottom
street level units they all had their own electric sewer
and water okay, upstairs all on one shared okay. Okay,
So she starts panicking because she's like, I've got to

(01:39:09):
have electricity because she runs, she was running, or she
has a seamstress business, okay, so she has sewing machines
stuff like that. So she's starting to panic. Nobody knows
who to get a hold of anything.

Speaker 4 (01:39:24):
Well hold on though, Margie. She's panicking because the water damage.
They had to turn off the power. It was that bad.

Speaker 10 (01:39:31):
No, if the power wasn't being paid, were they going
to turn it off?

Speaker 4 (01:39:35):
Is she the only one up there? Or is there
other tenants sharing that bill?

Speaker 10 (01:39:40):
So this is the other little weird part of it.
So there's like four people that rent, but the other three,
the other four or three I should say, the other
three are not They're only there like once a month.

Speaker 4 (01:39:53):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (01:39:55):
He did, right before he passed away, rent one of
the units to somebody who ended up moving into the
unit or into the office.

Speaker 4 (01:40:04):
Martie. This is getting a little drawn out. What I
mean by this is typically what would happen is someone
else is going to inherit this building or the estate's
going to have it and sell it. So like, where
does everything stand right now?

Speaker 10 (01:40:19):
So so my daughter found another place. She eventually his
The Sky sister notified everybody that she was going to
be the contact person.

Speaker 4 (01:40:31):
Okay, and this was.

Speaker 10 (01:40:35):
The middle to the end of April.

Speaker 4 (01:40:37):
So what happened?

Speaker 10 (01:40:39):
So my daughter called her, told her that she had
been cleaning for the last three months and buying supplies
and the lady said, send me invoices, I will get
you paid.

Speaker 4 (01:40:52):
What would the total of that be with supplies and labor?
How much did she send her?

Speaker 10 (01:40:58):
And she didn't send her anything. Well, the invoices were
for six hundred dollars and thirty seven cents.

Speaker 4 (01:41:03):
Yeah, okay, that sounds reasonable. So what happened?

Speaker 10 (01:41:06):
Yeah, so the lady never sent her anything.

Speaker 4 (01:41:09):
My daughter moved out, so she never sent her the money.

Speaker 10 (01:41:13):
She never sent the money. Okay, got her moved out
and found a better place. So last Friday, gipping forward,
she gets a registered letter which they didn't even get
picked up there.

Speaker 4 (01:41:26):
And what does it say? What does it say?

Speaker 10 (01:41:29):
It is it is the beginning stages of an eviction.

Speaker 4 (01:41:34):
Okay, hold on, and she's saying that your daughter owes
money as well.

Speaker 10 (01:41:38):
Right, they're saying that she Owes twelve hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:41:42):
Okay, hold on, I get it now three oh three

These guys know more about cars put together than any
other two people I know put together, whether it comes

(01:43:15):
to fixing, selling, pre purchase inspections. You get the idea.
They've been with the show for years and years and years,
and thank you guys for joining us. And we were
talking to somebody, Margie, whose daughter. This one's kind of crazy.
We're going to run through it real quick. Basically, her
daughter rented a place and it was about three hundred

(01:43:37):
bucks a month. She worked there as well and got
paid basically two hundred dollars a month to clean the floors,
clean the toilets, vacuum stuff like that. It was an
office building, so the person that owned the building passed away.
It ended up going to his sister. And a couple
questions I do have here, Margie, Your daughter sent her

(01:43:59):
a bill for the ser serviss Did she ever actually
terminate the lease? Did she give written notice your daughter,
that is that she was terminating the thirty day lease?

Speaker 10 (01:44:11):
She verbally did, she did so, she.

Speaker 4 (01:44:13):
Doesn't have anything in writing about that. No, and how
many months of rent are they trying to charge her for?

Speaker 10 (01:44:21):
They're saying that she owes it would be well twelve
hundred dollars, it would be three hundred.

Speaker 4 (01:44:27):
Or four months, four months.

Speaker 6 (01:44:29):
Did she have any of the agreement in writing for
cleaning and any of that or was that all verbal
as well?

Speaker 10 (01:44:35):
No, she has a signed agreement on the cleaning.

Speaker 4 (01:44:38):
So what does the sister say? What does the new
landlord say when she basically says, here's the six hundred dollars.
Here's why you guys owe me six hundred dollars.

Speaker 10 (01:44:49):
Now the so the sister got a lawyer, and the
lawyer sent the letter. Yeah, and the lawyer is saying
that you owe twelve hundred dollars. You owe for four months.
Well two of those months or three of those months,
I should say, nobody in the whole building knew who
to send checks to because they had no idea.

Speaker 4 (01:45:12):
Well, then she would still owe it, though, I mean,
then she would still owe it.

Speaker 10 (01:45:15):
She would simply she would still yes, but they owe
her the six hundred for the queen.

Speaker 4 (01:45:22):
If I be basic, Margie, hold on a second here,
I mean if I do basic math. The fact she
didn't get a notice doesn't mean anything, So just don't
even use that as an argument, especially with an attorney.
It's insane. It means nothing. It's like if my neighbor
was stealing my mortgage information each month or my bill

(01:45:42):
and I didn't pay it, it's not gonna matter. You're
still gonna get in trouble and they're going to foreclothes
on your house. But here's what I'm saying. Simple math says,
she your daughter owes six hundred dollars. Would you agree
with that or you wouldn't agree with that.

Speaker 10 (01:45:57):
I don't agree with that. She owes two hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:46:00):
Why two hundred because.

Speaker 10 (01:46:02):
She because there was only two months that she didn't
know who to send the one hundred dollars that she
was supposed to pay for a rent. Well because she
was still cleaning the whole time.

Speaker 4 (01:46:19):
Listen, the cleaning part is. Let's just separate them real quick.
Number one, she signed a lease. That lease was for
a year or whatever. When the lease was done, it
went to month to month. The month to month is
still going to have the same kind of terms when
it comes to ending. It is the original lease and
a commercial deal. It could be whatever was in there,

(01:46:39):
not unresidential, But what was the deal in there? Was
she supposed to give thirty days notice? Or was the
landlord supposed to give thirty days notice without looking at
the lease? I don't know the answer, but generally it's
a thirty day notice, So your daughter would have had
to give them thirty days notice to move out. You
already said that did not happen. You said it happened verbally.

(01:47:00):
But I'll even go down that road real quick. Who
did it verbally happen.

Speaker 21 (01:47:04):
With this sister?

Speaker 4 (01:47:07):
With the sister? Does that person acknowledge it?

Speaker 10 (01:47:13):
She has not talked to the sister since she got
this the registered letter on Friday from the attorney. Yes,
from the attorney.

Speaker 4 (01:47:25):
Okay, how many months has it been? Four?

Speaker 10 (01:47:30):
So from when? From what?

Speaker 4 (01:47:33):
From the from when she hasn't given notice? Listen forget
about the notice. You're talking about where she talked to
this lady. Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't, It doesn't matter.
How is the attorney calculating twelve hundred bucks, that's got
to be four months.

Speaker 10 (01:47:50):
Yes, he is saying that she owes four months.

Speaker 4 (01:47:52):
And then in that four months. Let's just take that.
Let's just say it's four months she owes in that
four months. How many months did she actually work and
clean the Bathroomsoms?

Speaker 10 (01:48:08):
No, she cleaned the bathrooms up until the end of April, so.

Speaker 4 (01:48:12):
That means nothing to me.

Speaker 10 (01:48:13):
How many months, so it would have been January if
every March April, so she owes for those which what
they're saying is that she is still in the building.

Speaker 4 (01:48:29):
Because she hasn't given written notice, but.

Speaker 10 (01:48:35):
She so talking to the sister didn't make a difference, Margie.

Speaker 4 (01:48:40):
Listen, I'm not saying it makes a difference if the
sister acknowledges it and says, yes, she did give me notice.
If the sister doesn't acknowledge it and it's in front
of a judge, you're going to have no proof. I mean,
that's that's what it's going to come down to. Listen,
here's what I do, and this is not legal advice,
but I want to tell you how I would handle
this situation. First of all, there's a real math issue here.

(01:49:04):
I don't understand your math, nor do I really care
at this point, because here's what I would do. I
would tell the attorney, you know what they owe me
this much money. I told this lady I was getting
out of here and leave it at that. I told
her I was out and if she doesn't want to
go ahead.

Speaker 10 (01:49:22):
She did that. She sent him an email or sent
the lady an email the journey on Tuesday, and they
responded and said, we didn't give you permission to leave.
That was their comment.

Speaker 4 (01:49:35):
Well, I don't even understand that, So I'm going to
continue on my thought training here.

Speaker 17 (01:49:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:49:40):
I don't understand it either.

Speaker 8 (01:49:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:49:42):
Well listen though, here's basically it. She's out, she doesn't
need to be there. They can come after her and
try to go after her for whatever reason. They're going
to have to bring her to court. It's not like
taking a victor right now because she's already gone. I
mean she's up and out. They're not holding her equipment hostage,
are they, no?

Speaker 20 (01:50:02):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:50:02):
Everything?

Speaker 4 (01:50:02):
So she's up and gone. I would let them bring
you to court or bring me to court, because I'm
using that as this example is what I would do,
and I would let them sue me. Then I would
show up in court and I would say you're on
or here's what happened, here's the agreement where I would
be getting paid to do this and do that. They
tried to tell me I owed twelve hundred dollars. I

(01:50:23):
simply do not owe that much. I get two hundred
dollars a month to do this, per this written agreement
right here. And I told the new owner that I
was getting out of there. And I mean, that's exactly
Let a judge sort it out. That's exactly what I
would do.

Speaker 10 (01:50:38):
Okay, So now let me ask you this, Should we
get an attorney or should we do it by ourselves?

Speaker 4 (01:50:44):
I would just wait. First of all, I wouldn't get
an attorney personally. Once again, this is not legal advice.
I wouldn't get an attorney until they sued me. If
they sued me in anything but small claims court, I
would then have a free consultation with an attorney like
Brad O'Brien. And the reason I say that is if

(01:51:05):
the settlement is twelve hundred dollars and an attorney's gonna
cost two thousand, I might consider paying the twelve hundred.
So I would wait till they sewer, though, and I
highly doubt they're gonna sewer over twelve hundred bucks. I
think either they have a relative that's an attorney or
a friend that's an attorney, or you know they paid
an attorney one hundred bucks or pre paid legal to

(01:51:28):
write your daughter the nasty Graham. I would make them
follow up with an actual lawsuit. Okay, yeah, I mean,
you're gonna have your chance, or she's gonna have her
chance in front of a judge. There's no doubt about it.
But that's where i'd leave it. But here's the other thing.
I'm gonna have Kelly. I'm gonna put you on hold.
I'm gonna have Kelly give you Brad O'Brien's phone number.

(01:51:50):
I want you to call up and just talk to
Brad and let us know kind of what he said.
Just talk to him. He'll talk to you over the
phone real quick. But the problem with hiring somebody is
it's going to cost you more than twelve hundred bucks.
So that's what I'm saying. Make them serve you, make

(01:52:10):
them come after you. I mean, that's what I would do.
I can't put it any other way. But if you
want to call Brad, feel free to call Brad. Now, Shane,
what's going on with you? Shane?

Speaker 8 (01:52:23):
Hey, So took my car into breaks plus had some break.

Speaker 4 (01:52:28):
Oh with David your next by the way, go ahead, Shane.

Speaker 8 (01:52:32):
Breaks were just kind of grabbing at low speeds, kind
of violently, you know, just kind of creeping up at a
light you can grab. And I took the break the
wheels off, looked at it, couldn't see anything. So I
took it into Breaks Plus. They said it was likely
due to the control arms shifting under breaking pressure. And
then they also had a list of other things, like

(01:52:55):
it was seventeen hundred dollars what they quoted me for everything?

Speaker 4 (01:52:58):
Got it?

Speaker 8 (01:53:00):
Initial guy, I dropped the ball. He didn't know their
financial financing situation, and.

Speaker 4 (01:53:04):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 8 (01:53:07):
So I asked about, like what their financing options were.

Speaker 4 (01:53:11):
Oh okay, and what did they tell you initially?

Speaker 8 (01:53:15):
They couldn't tell me anything. They don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
Oh okay.

Speaker 8 (01:53:17):
Oh so okay, I'm going to go somewhere else. I
took it to Midas, was gonna take it in the
next day for Midas to look at it. Grace Plus
called me back, said, hey, we messed up. Our guys
should have known her. You know, since we messed up,
we'll give you five hundred dollars off.

Speaker 4 (01:53:32):
Oh wow, five hundred off plus they found you financing,
I assume, yeah, okay, hold on, I got to take
this break. I guarantee this doesn't end with that good news.
I guarantee something happened after that. Everybody will find out
after this.

Now we're going to go right back to the phone

(01:55:11):
lines and Shane, here's the bottom line. Shane brought his
vehicle to Breaks Plus. They gave him an estimate for
about seventeen hundred bucks, but told them at first they
didn't offer any financing options, so we brought it over
to somewhere else. Meantime, Breaks Plus calls back and goes
that employee didn't really know what they were talking about.

(01:55:31):
We do have finance options, and we're sorry about that.
We're going to go ahead and give you a five
hundred dollars discount, and of course you can use our financing.
So what happened next? Shane all Right.

Speaker 8 (01:55:45):
Got the car back after setting up with their credit
line credit card thing.

Speaker 4 (01:55:51):
Hey, which one was it? By the way, who was
the what credit company did they use?

Speaker 8 (01:55:57):
Synchrony?

Speaker 6 (01:55:58):
Okay, Kevin Huge, the Walmart Sam's Club. Everybody, what do
you think ring got it?

Speaker 4 (01:56:06):
Go ahead? Shane?

Speaker 8 (01:56:08):
So yeah, I was approved for them and got the
got the car back. It was the end of the
day when they were closing. I started driving a car
and notice it was. The problem was still kind of there,
slightly different, maybe like a little less profound grabbing. But
within five minutes of driving it to the I went
straight to the grocery store. Before I got to the

(01:56:31):
grocery store, it was worse. It was grabbing worse, and
the pedal was like kind of vibrating underneath my foot.

Speaker 9 (01:56:37):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (01:56:38):
So I just drove it directly home and then took
it up there the next morning. Uh, they took it
back in their shop to look at it to see
what's wrong. And while they had it back in their
shop that time, they said, well, we got the vibrating
to stop and the grabbing to stop, but now you
have to proach your whole force, whole weight on the

(01:56:58):
break pedal to stop it, and the all these warning
lights on, and so they're gonna They towed it over
to another breaks plus across town, where it sat for
two weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:57:09):
Well, now, what are they saying is wrong with it.

Speaker 8 (01:57:13):
So after the Breaks Plus Acrosstown couldn't figure it out
for two weeks. They ended up been in towing it
to Chevy down on South Broadway. That's where it's at
right now. And Chevy told them they can't fix it.
They don't make the part anymore. What is the part
it's wrong. It's an ABS control module and for that
part anymore, and it has to be it has to

(01:57:35):
be then coded to the ends to the car.

Speaker 4 (01:57:39):
Oh my god, Okay, hold on, I just want to
get some input from these guys who are like shaking
their heads like wow, this is crazy, but it sounds
like this can happen, right guys.

Speaker 6 (01:57:49):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what they could have done,
you know, to it by doing a control arm.

Speaker 4 (01:57:53):
Well I'm not even saying the control arm did it.
They might have misdiagnosed the control arm true.

Speaker 6 (01:58:00):
To begin with. There you go, Yeah, that's more likely.

Speaker 4 (01:58:02):
So here's the question. It's not their fault that part's
not available, and I'm talking about Breaks Plus. Would you
agree with that?

Speaker 10 (01:58:12):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:58:12):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:58:12):
Yeah, So what are you looking for? You're looking for
them to pay off the financing and get a refund
because they sold you something you didn't need is that
where you're going?

Speaker 8 (01:58:22):
No, No, not at all. So they whatever the car
was drivable when I brought it into them, they did something.
They even told me. They tried bleeding the breaks. And
after they tried bleeding the breaks, they realized that it
was a self bleeding system with that car. So they
did something to where in the time I brought it
back to them to have it checked out, they did

(01:58:44):
something to where they made the carbon drive.

Speaker 4 (01:58:47):
So wait a minute, and Shane, are you saying they're
the ones that caused that module to fail.

Speaker 8 (01:58:54):
I mean there was no rights on. It was working.

Speaker 4 (01:58:58):
So when you brought it back, hold on, I just
want to get this straight. So you had the work done.
All they did was the control arm. Is that correct?

Speaker 8 (01:59:08):
Control arms and engine mount and uh.

Speaker 4 (01:59:17):
Okay, so they did that front end work. Then you
pick it up and you're having pretty much the same problem.
Yes or no?

Speaker 8 (01:59:27):
Pretty much?

Speaker 4 (01:59:28):
Yes, okay. Then you bring it back to them. But
at that point, the first time you picked it up,
there's no check engine light or brake lights or anything
else going on. Yes or no? Correct, So then you
bring it back and the first time you bring it back,
did you bring it back to the same breaks Plus. Yes,
and they basically work on it. Are they the ones
that tow it to a different one or do they

(01:59:50):
do the work and you come and pick it up.

Speaker 8 (01:59:53):
No, they towed it.

Speaker 4 (01:59:54):
They so it was apparently over their head. They couldn't
figure it out. They brought it to another breaks Plus correct,
and then that breaks Plus did what.

Speaker 8 (02:00:05):
They said, They tried to put in two different control
modules and they and the first time they told me
they got a faulty one and put in and then
I mean, I've had this, okay.

Speaker 4 (02:00:16):
So but they put in two control modules that didn't
fix it. Then what then they said?

Speaker 8 (02:00:21):
Then they took it to Chevy.

Speaker 4 (02:00:23):
They took it to Chevy.

Speaker 8 (02:00:24):
They had it towed to Chevy, and then it's a
Chevy for another week and a half weeks.

Speaker 4 (02:00:31):
And then that's when Chevy. Chevy told you, or at
least you heard from Chevy.

Speaker 8 (02:00:36):
That I had to go up there and actually they.

Speaker 4 (02:00:39):
Can't fix it because that part is no longer available.

Speaker 8 (02:00:43):
Correct.

Speaker 4 (02:00:44):
All right, So now one more question that I want
to talk to these guys. What are you looking for?

Speaker 8 (02:00:51):
Well, I mean, they they're admitting the fault by you know,
they're willing to pay the value of the car. The
problem is of the car. In their eyes, they're only
willing to pay five thousand. I still owe ten thousand
on the car. And I mean if I just take
that five thousand, I still owe for the rest of
the life.

Speaker 4 (02:01:10):
I am so glad I asked that question because really
all that matters is whatever the value of the car is,
it's not their fault. In fact, I got to tell
you guys something. I'm shocked they took this responsibility.

Speaker 6 (02:01:23):
I can't believe they offered anything though.

Speaker 4 (02:01:25):
And they're saying, we'll give you the value of the car.

Speaker 6 (02:01:27):
That's amazing.

Speaker 4 (02:01:28):
It is amazing. I got to give a high five
to Brakes plus. Now the value is the value, man.
It doesn't matter what you think the value is, and
it doesn't matter what they think the value is.

Speaker 7 (02:01:41):
Jeff, you have something, Yeah, I mean if he had
totaled the car, his insurance company wouldn't give them the
career you owe on the vehicle, just what the vehicle's work.

Speaker 4 (02:01:49):
Yes, So your your argument doesn't hold any water, Shane,
because now if you're saying the value of the car
is more than five thousand, we'll get somebody on to
tell us what the value of that car is, and
that's all he does for a living. I'll tell you
exactly what the retail value of that car is, and
that's what you deserve, plus whatever the sales tax is.
That's what you deserve. Now, if you're telling me because

(02:02:11):
you owe more than the value on the car, there's
no argument there. It's not their fault your upside down
on the car. Does that make sense.

Speaker 8 (02:02:21):
Even though they're the ones that rw in the car.

Speaker 4 (02:02:23):
Yeah, okay, even though, But let's take it to a
ridiculous Let's say someone snookered you out of one hundred
thousand dollars for that car. That doesn't mean they owe
you one hundred thousand dollars, But the same is for
one dollar over. Let's do this. Let's get on petty details,
and all I want from them I want to find
out what the value of his car is. So not

(02:02:44):
the year make miles Kelly, and we're going to find
out exactly the value of that car. But it doesn't
matter what you owe on a vehicle. It's unfortunate and
it puts you in a bad position, but it doesn't
it's not their fault. Your mistake is not there fall
for overpay.

Speaker 4 (02:03:38):
All right, two five five, I'm gonna jump right to
Justin Petty. We're gonna get a true value of this vehicle.
Basically an auto shop screwed up. They're willing to pay
for the car because it literally can't be fixed at
this point, so they're willing to give the guy money
for it. His main question was he ohs ten grand,

(02:03:59):
but they're saying the car is only worth five. It
doesn't matter how much you owe on a vehicle. I
don't care if you're in an accident and someone ran
into you and you owe thirty thousand dollars but the
vehicle is only worth fifteen. You're responsible for the difference.
That's just how it works. I realized that other person
put you in the situation, but it doesn't matter. Your

(02:04:20):
mistake was to get so upside down in that vehicle.
But let's go to Justin Petty. Hey, Justin, we gave
you the stats. What kind of vehicle was it? By
the way, guys fourteen Chevy Vault twenty fourteen? Is that
an electric?

Speaker 6 (02:04:37):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (02:04:37):
Okay, so what is that thing? Worth?

Speaker 13 (02:04:39):
Man?

Speaker 21 (02:04:42):
So I have that it's a hatchback rise a four door.
It's got one hundred and forty thousand miles on it.

Speaker 4 (02:04:48):
Yeah, hold on, let me get the caller back up
because I don't know. Hey, Shane, is that a hatchback?

Speaker 8 (02:04:54):
Yeah? Yeah, they're all labeled as practice.

Speaker 15 (02:04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:04:57):
It is the premium package too, it so.

Speaker 4 (02:05:00):
It's the mac Daddy hatchback volt.

Speaker 9 (02:05:03):
Yep, YEP.

Speaker 21 (02:05:05):
One hundred and forty thousand miles correct, Yes, so probably
getting close to nine thousand, ninety two hundred maybe really
that's yeah. I mean if it's in really good condition. Okay,
the condition can make a difference, but if it's in

(02:05:26):
really good condition, that's a hybrid vehicle, so it can
run on gas or electric.

Speaker 4 (02:05:32):
But you're regardless of what it is, you're saying that
vehicle even in standard conditions probably eight nine.

Speaker 21 (02:05:41):
Well, I mean if it's an if it's an average condition, yeah,
and not super super clean or something like that. You're
talking six or seven on that vie.

Speaker 22 (02:05:51):
But if it can't be repaired, Mark, is it really
in good condition?

Speaker 4 (02:05:54):
Yes, it is, because we're taking it at pre pre problem. Okay,
what was it worth before or they messed it up?
Not after they messed it up? So what kind of
condition would you say it's in, Shane, I.

Speaker 8 (02:06:08):
Think it's in great condition. There's nobody damnitage I new.

Speaker 4 (02:06:10):
Its gonna say it's imperfect. It's the most biggest beautiful
vault ever sold. Uh yeah, So here's the deal. Let's
just take here's what you got to do. I'm going
to give you. Kelly's going to give you this guy's information. Okay,
justin petty. This is all they do. He can do
a report for you. That's almost impossible to argue. When

(02:06:31):
he does a report, he's going to show how much
they sell for in this area and have real examples.
They're not going to be arguing with you. So if
you're able to get that report from Justin, you need
to give it over to breaks plus and say, here's
the deal. This is what it's worth. I agree, under
no circumstances are going to be worth ten thousand, but

(02:06:53):
it's definitely worth more than the five thousand they're offering.
So Justin, I don't know how you work on something
like that. You're not dealing with an insurance company. It's
a shop that made that car undrivable because they broke apart.
That is tied to the VEN number and cannot be replaced. Literally,
that vehicle got ruined because they ruined apart. That's no

(02:07:16):
longer manufactured on it. So I don't know what you
would charge. What do you think he would need in
his case like this, Well.

Speaker 21 (02:07:25):
That's a What he needs to do is yes, call
and talk to me about Okay, let's do it. We're
complicated and yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:07:32):
We'll yeah, let me let me put you both on Holden.
By the way, that's uh petty details Diminished valueexpert dot com.
Diminished Valueexpert dot com, Shane, I want you to call
out to him and then follow up with us, and
then if they don't want to pay you what his
report actually says, because I trust just in big time.

(02:07:54):
If they don't want to step up to the plate
after they acknowledge they ruined it, but they're off wring
you not enough, then we'll get involved with breaks. Plus
and I know some of the guys over there in fact,
that is it still Larry? Do you guys know if
he's still the owner? Anybody? I mean, I haven't talked
to him for years, but I knew him back in
the day. So anyhow, that's the bottom line, Shane David,

(02:08:15):
real quick, what's your question on this engine? What's the problem?

Speaker 16 (02:08:20):
Yeah, So I'm wondering, can I work out something with
Kevin to do some work on my truck? If I
clean his toilets or something?

Speaker 4 (02:08:26):
Oh? Sure you can. You can you get me a
new engine?

Speaker 6 (02:08:31):

Careful what you wish for.

Speaker 4 (02:08:35):
Yeah, you might be he might make out better.

Speaker 16 (02:08:39):
Now I want to know about the motor transmission and
the whole thing, like the exhaust break suspension. It's a
two thousand and eight with a five point three Vortech.
We've had it since it only had like twenty thousand miles.

Speaker 4 (02:08:54):
What do you want to know about it though? How
much you would cost to replace all that? What's the question?

Speaker 16 (02:08:59):
Well, so is it better to go with a remand
or a CRATE type motor? And then there's the costs
and the warranty.

Speaker 4 (02:09:08):
And I'm sorry you're doing so hold on, you're you're
doing the motor and you're doing the whole power train basically.

Speaker 16 (02:09:15):
Yeah, I mean the truck is in really good savor.
It's still running good right now, but it's not going
to last forever. It's got almost three hundred thousand Oh.

Speaker 6 (02:09:22):
Wow, good for you. Yeah, I would definitely go to
CRATE because you get an awesome warranty four year, hundred
thousand mile and most of the components.

Speaker 4 (02:09:29):
And the CRATE being right from the manufacturer.

Speaker 6 (02:09:31):
Either that or through LKQ or one of the major.

Speaker 4 (02:09:33):
Save a little money through LKQ.

Speaker 6 (02:09:35):
Yeah, I may not have one in stock at that age,
so that's why.

We go to But you can price it out for

Speaker 4 (02:12:43):
I have no idea what it is. What does that mean?
He has a stock market on his phone? It's an app?
What app?

Speaker 9 (02:12:48):

Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:12:49):
Uh, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (02:12:50):
That's what I was gonna ask you.

Speaker 4 (02:12:51):
Then I would have no idea if it's legit or not.
Get his information. He needs to find out what app
we're talking about, Kelly. I mean, I don't even have
another question for him. There's a lot of legit ones
I have, Charles Schwab app it's legit. I mean, there's
a ton of legit ones. I just got to know
what you're dealing with. Robert. What's going on with you? Hey, Robert,

(02:13:14):
what's going on with your clutch?

Speaker 23 (02:13:19):
It's a brand new clutch, a double disk. And when
I picked it up two weeks ago on Wednesday, they
told me it worked just fine. I went to move
it and you couldn't drive it into two gears first
and second vibration. It's so bad.

Speaker 4 (02:13:38):
And so did you bring it back to the shop
and what did they say?

Speaker 23 (02:13:44):
It's just sitting there. I went there yesterday and the
first thing he said was, oh, you come to give
me some money?

Speaker 4 (02:13:53):
Come to give you some money? Did you not pay
for the whole repair? Yet?

Speaker 8 (02:13:58):
I did?

Speaker 4 (02:13:59):
So what is mean? Did you come to give me
some money? You got to shed some light on it.
I feel like I'm playing a game of what's the
one with the ship? You try to sink battleship.

Speaker 23 (02:14:09):
Because they got to pull the they got to pull
the training back out of it.

Speaker 4 (02:14:13):
So, but they just did the clutch.

Speaker 23 (02:14:15):
They want to charge me for the whole job.

Speaker 4 (02:14:17):
Okay, hold on, hold on, So Jeff, just hearing what
you did. You're the transmission guy. What do you mean
to pull it out?

Speaker 7 (02:14:23):
I mean it's the same conversation we had earlier. They
did something wrong. It should be a warranty issue. Yeah,
so a decent shop should you know? If they say
it's got to come back out there's something wrong with
the clutch, or there's something wrong with their installation, then
that's on their.

Speaker 4 (02:14:36):
They want you to pay up front.

Speaker 23 (02:14:40):
Uh, No, I paid when I picked it up.

Speaker 4 (02:14:42):
No, hold on, hold on, We're on a little different
path here, Robert. So you brought it back because it's
simply not working, and you dropped it off there. Then
they simply said to you, where's the money?

Speaker 6 (02:14:57):
Well, no, let's do this.

Speaker 4 (02:14:59):
I want to give you a plenty of time and
I want to help you. I'm going to put a
deputy on this. If it's everything you're telling us, and
we're going to pick up on this Monday. We're going
to try to get to shop on and figure out
what's going on. Three Zho three Martino, don't forget that
works all the time. Everybody have a great weekend.
