I see your point to a cetain extent. This is pretty light on for abuse considering how I feel.
I forgot to mention fair trading has an ongoing investigation regarding Anthony not holding the correct licences or qualifications to work in this industry. Also for the cash parts and dodgy receipts (i got receipts with 3 different sets of details on them in 3 concurrent transactions, and only because I insisted on having receipt due to him taking forever for things in almost all cases) as well as not having the name hes traded under for 10 years as a registered trading name for any business he has ever controlled. He even wrote me receipts without an ABN or business name when his business was open, so I can't be even sure if he declared that income, but the ATO willl get to the bottom of it rather soon.
See how it pans out. I think hes in deep shit. I know if I did those things in my industry id be in prison by now. Its only because he exploits those new to cars and rather young that he gets away with it again and again...
At the end of the day, this is all 100 percent true, I have a blog with photos, dates and times and its my thread so Ill write what I want. We already had this out in the tech section and Anthony gave up trying to defend his actions and started personally attacking me so I'm not in the mood to care. He hasnt taken my calls for over a year so this is what happens. When you arent permitted a voice just start yelling. As if he would even read my thread anyhow, hes only concerned with the 5 or 6 people he does consistent work for, everyone else is just a mark to a con artist.
I might get to the name and shame file soon enough, but I may not need to if he goes away for a while, or goes underground. He better be hiding well and truly underground because if I hear hes trading again Ill be sorting it out quick smart. He cannot work in other states as QLD is a bit odd in that you dont need to be a qualified mechanic to work as a mechanic, the same with most motor trades here in QLD, but he wont be able to go down south due to the long list of people that are looking to stomp him from all the scams hes pulled and the Auto regulators wont permit him to work unqualified. He should stay in the backyard where he belongs.
Interestingly he actually closed his legit business, HMS automotive, which is a sneaky way to avoid fair trading complaints, but he cannot escape the long arm of the Tax office or the MTAQ licencing people. Theres enough project threads on here detailing used parts purchased from Kaizen garage that no matter how much smoke and mirrors he tries to pull the evidence cannot be removed. I dare say its already been logged and read by the appropriate authorities. Its just a matter of time to see what happens to him now. With the sheer number of transactions hes done illegally (10 odd years worth, maybe more) he may get a super severe punishment. That kind of constant and systematic abuse of the tax system and the licencing laws will not result in any kindness when it comes to sentencing.
engine bay looks mint i want mine to be like that
