Suggestion: avoid Vines BMW

[Drew Mouton <drew@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Group,

I always try to give vendors every opportunity to resolve difficulties 
before complaining in public, but the time has come to recommend to 
y'all that you avoid Vines BMW.

Until this year, my buddy and I were regular purchasers of new and used 
Vines parts, purchasing thousands of dollars worth of parts every few 
months, and happy enough that I've recommended them to this list 
several times. For the past 3-4 months, however, we've been lied to 
repeatedly, and are *still* waiting on parts that were promised months 
ago.

What changed? Until the beginning of the year, we'd been dealing with 
Vines employee "Doc," and were consistently happy with his service, 
prices, and tendency to go above and beyond what was required in order 
to make things work for us.

Then, evidently, he was fired, and since then we've been dealing 
unsuccessfully with David and Ron Vines (primarily Ron). Our credit 
cards were charged, with promises again and again of delivery; most of 
the "lies" were of the form "Yeah, we definitely shipped those parts 
yesterday" only to find they never went out. As I said, it's been Ron 
Vines behind this exceptionally poor service. We're still waiting on 
parts that were supposedly shipped months ago.

As always, your mileage may vary, but unless something drastic changes 
we won't ever buy from them again.
