Wogi gave me a phone number for this facility but the number won't answer. I heard that Jim Ruck sold this business to the new owner. I have tried over and over to contact anyone there and there is never and answer or a response to an e-mail inquiry. Anybody know anything about these folks. I hear they do great block repair.

I know nothing about this business but if it were me I would steer clear. If I can’t communicate before the job, what to think communication is going to be during the job? I’m cautious with things that seem iffy from the start. Be careful and good luck.

Something to add.............anytime you find yourself chasing somebody down to spend your money should be a big ol' red flag.

It's too bad you can't get a hold of them. There website looks like what you are looking for.

The website says they can fix any damage. They even sell 260 blocks.

Looks like the number he gave you is wrong. The website has (715) 258-5858

[wogi]

The number I have is his cell number, don't know what your problem is, I just got done talking to him, try calling him during business hours?

Or you can be impatient with a very busy business and take your to stuff to someone else who probably sends it off to him and pay more. Sorry for giving you the tip to have you bash a good and busy machinist because he won't drop what he's doing to accommodate you. My stuff gets done, but I don't pressure or bash the man. Just my way of dealing with someone I want to work for me

Hey Wogi:

I NEVER bashed him at all. I just said that I could not reach him and was wondering why. I tried many times on his cell number but no luck, that is all. When you say I bashed the man that is not true.

What do you call it? Post this thread to question others about the man's integrity? Only to have others post the crap they did? The man is very busy and to have him do what he does I see as a privilege, and like any other artist in this world he shouldn't have to deal with impatient people who are not willing to wait until a very busy man has the time to invest in returning a phone call. I would think that it would be a sign of what it would be like if he were to do work for you, it would be for me. So again sorry I put a friend threw this crap, I know that my calls to him get returned because I call leave message and know that he will return my call when he gets the time, and like me when someone blows up my phone because they think their needs are the only thing I have to worry about, I ignore them. Wish you luck, sorry for trying to help won't happen again

We get it. Can we agree he is really a self employed machinist? A business has operational structure to interface with customers and production procedures. I get people interviewing all the time who say they are business owners (in the contracting world). In reality they are just job fillers with a letterhead. It's gotta be hard with the aging customer base he is working with to scale, then build any type of customer interface procedures. Ruck did the best he could with a shoe string staff at critical mass. Not much unlike it is today.

I have no dog in this fight but I have heard both he does great work to my block has been there almost a year so I don't know what to think. I do know Ruck would call me as late as 9:00 pm with questions on my block. Also as a self employed I have worked ridiculous hours to satisfy a customer. Not as easy to run a business as many think. I wish Ron the best and think maybe an answering service might do him well.

Wogi:

I just don't understand what you are saying. I was just trying to find out some information. You keep saying that I bashed him, that is bull****! I never said anything mean or nasty about him, ever. I don't know the man. I was just trying to get in contact with him, that is all. You are making this up out of nothing. I don't understand your thinking at all. I appreciated you giving me his number, I do, but all I was trying to do was to get in contact with him, nothing more.

I purchased a 225 Promax done by Mag--The machine work was so nice i sent him a 225 PM block--He had it for 8 months i left him Many Messages just to touch base on the work i wanted done--No return calls--Very Unprofessional from a communication level--I sent someone there and had my block picked up--I run a very busy HVAC business but have the Respect of my customers.
