Night Owl Mechanic

On first impression and after the first job or two all seemed good… almost too good to be true. Within a short time after that the «Honeymoon Period» was over and the classic contractor behaviour began. Contacting «Dave» (the owner) became nearly impossible. We heard it all… I lost my phone… I forwarded my calls and it’s not working… I didn’t get your message… I spent a week in the hospital helping a friend and couldn’t return your call… ect…ect. He even gave us his e-​mail saying that it would be a fail-​proof way to contact him… yet he still was able to duck our attempts to contact him. He strung us along for 4 months promising he could do some interior painting for us and when pressed said he had fired his painter a MONTH AGO and was looking for another… all without mentioning a thing to us. Wasted the summer and fall when it could have been done with the windows open to vent paint fumes. Also promised during this period he would secure an electrical line… strung on a wire between the house and my detached garage which had begun to sag as the zip ties aged and subsequently failed… broke his promise and never did that either. To top it all off… after telling us a part was on order (A simple Brass Fitting) for two months for our whole house water sanitizing system… he left us in the middle and just never came back to replace the fitting and ceased all communications. That was my experience with Night Owl… you think you want some of that… I think NOT.
