Calling Norcal'ers! Trying to reach Ben of Rotary Evolution aka Karack

I dropped my car off with Ben (boardname Karack) in May and I have been trying to reach him for the past month and a half to no avail. He has not been answering my calls or returning messages. If anybody is able to get in contact with him, or even run by his shop, please let me know. I would go there myself but I live 2.5 hours away so it's quite difficult. I'm not upset that my car isn't done but that I'm not getting any type of confirmation.

Here's his phone number:

530.701.8488

PM me if you'd like to run by the shop and need the address.

I really appreciate any help with this matter and I'm even willing to compensate.

Thanks

isn't it against forum rules to call member's names out in thread titles?

anyway, hope you find him dude.

Is it? A lot of people have said his name in the past in other threads. He also gives out his number, so I'm not sure why it would be.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words!

I'd go there if I knew he'd be there. I knew someone who went by his shop and he wasn't there. I'd seriously be pissed off if I went to his shop and nobody was around.

Ben is rediculously busy. He always is. I'll see if I can get a hold of him for you later today.

The best time to call him is generally in the early afternoon.

Funk - THANK YOU!

I honestly wanted to avoid even posting this as I know he's a good guy. I made a very vague post saying I needed to find him in the norcal rotary shop thread and nobody replied, hence why I made this post.

I by no means meant to belittle or down-talk him. As you can see, I recommend his work a few times.

In my experience, it may take a day or two (or four or five), but he'll get back to you. IIRC, Ben takes a few days' trip down to the bay area once in a while...Maybe he's out of town?

Whatever the case, I'm sure he's not out to burn you or anything.

a day or two or five is fine, even a week. but it's been a over a month; about five weeks.

Thanks again for the help!
