(craigslist) posting in automotive services

[way2fastalon]

so a few days ago i posted up an ad on craigslist and i know i have poor grammar and spelling but i don't like be attacked like this i posted basic jobs what i could do or would do if it came up .. I know craigs-list has some bad apple's on there i have alldata, anyone who has that can work or fix just about anything as long as diagnosis follows true.

one person or business sent me this email . from
Craigsredflag@aol.com


I have been reading these postings for years and every time I find one from some back yard mechanic, it makes me ill that you people write adds to get business. You cant even write an ad with good grammer.

What offends me more is your taking money away from my business potential and cause a lot of troubles for people when you work on cars.
You toss out a list of prices to suck these people into your garage game.
I read your ad and you cant do half the repairs you claim. It was obvious when you ask them to tell you what is wrong, that you dont know what your doing.
I dont know who you are or what your about. But I have a printed out copy of your listing and I am going to fax it too the state attorney generals office along with the state tax office. Lets see what they have to say about advertising when your not a registered business.

You should either quit posting here or get a license to operate a business.

I bet your not even insured? What are you going to do when you mistakenly mess up some Hondas timing and you wreck an engine? Put yourself in that customers place and think about what they would feel like.

Do you have any technical support to support your services? I bet you dont.


i have a obd1 and 2 reader and a $ 700.00 in tools if i dont have the tool i can borrow it from my friends dad or some one elce

ill post my add up tomorrow (all im saying is what the hell )

Some people have a good amount of time on their hands, jesus. This guy must have gotten screwed royally at one point to go as far as turning people in (which I doubt he will, and if he does, then holy crap haha). Not like people just post up ads looking to screw people, know plenty of people who do it just to make a little side money, and are good mechanics.

Oh and if the guy wants to get nit-picky on the grammar, he's no grammar professor himself lol.

What an asshat. Don't worry about him....

But on the other side I can see where he's coming from. Times are tough in the automotive industry. He's gotta put food on the table, and that's most likely his only source of income. And the fact that people are offering comparable (In some cases) service to what he's offering but at a huge discounted rate directly affects the amount of work orders he's getting.

With that said. Don't worry about this tool. He's not going to report you to anyone (I hope).

Misspelled words with corrections are in red. Yes, I am a English/Grammar nerd. Don't hate, appreciate!

I have been reading these postings for years, and every time I find one from some back yard mechanic, (sentence fragment) it makes me ill that you people people like you write adds ads
to get business. You cant can't or can noteven write an ad with good good works, but proper would be more correct in this context grammer.

What offends me more is your you are or you'retaking money away from my business potential and cause a lot of troubles for people when you work on cars.
You toss out a list of prices to suck these people into your garage game.
I read your ad and you cant can't do half the repairs you claim. It was obvious when you ask asked them to tell you what is wrong, that you dont didn't know what your you were doing.
I dont don't or do notknow who you are , or what your you're or you areabout. But I have a printed out copy of your listing and I am going to fax it too to the state attorney generals office, along with the state tax office. Lets Let'ssee what they have to say about advertising when your you're or you arenot a registered business.

You should either quit posting here ,or get a license to operate a business.

I bet your you are or you'renot even insured? This statement makes no sense, it should be a statement, not a question What are you going to do when you mistakenly mess up some Hondas Honda's or Hondas' timing and you wreck an engine? Put yourself in that customers customer'splace and think about what replace what with howthey would feel likeremove like.

Do you have any technical support to support your services? I bet you dont don't.

Now you can point out his "good" grammar to him. That is all.

Who cares? People these days are fucked up.. If I got a email like that I would laugh and thank the guy for the good laugh. The fact that he even took the time to do any of that is just hilarious.

[Constant_Project21]

Also forgot to add, that he couldn't even spell grammar. Mr. Paulson wouldn't approve that's for sure, Stephen haha.

It's alot cleaner but I'd suggest capitalizing "I"...but it is just a craigslist ad. Other than that, it's clean and very easy to read. Maybe you might even get a call from me ;)
