Jim Lewis Car Wash canopies victims

[TAnderson]

Unfortunately at this point I know we're not the only victims of Jim Lewis and Car Wash Canopies. He got us for $9000 that we sent back in April and it has been excuses ever since. He promised we'd have them by the end of the year but of course thats not happening either. Who else has been burned by this guy? I want to get a few of us together and get law enforcement involved as a fraud case. How is this guy not in jail scamming so many people out of tens of thousands ️️

There is at least one other thread on this guy. Sucks you got taken. I’d be in the same boat if not for this forum. I’ve never heard of one good experience w this guy and I talked to him probably 8 or 9 years ago looking for awnings for both washes. Hope you get some kind of justice!! I agree though , how is this guy still in business!!

Thanks, I'm trying to get a group of us together to get criminal action taken. I will need people's names and contact info

He got me got a few thousand many years ago. I paid with a credit card for 1/2 of it and was able to get that back. Bad man.

Saw this thread when looking for canopy options. Figured it might be a good spot to ask who people actually WOULD recommend. There's a local shop here that quoted me $4000 for two small shades to cover part of the vacuum area. Not having priced these things before, I thought that was pretty expensive. Only two of those canopies remain. The two on the left. So the $4k was for the two on the right.

Where do you live? I had a good guy in Chicago a few years ago, universal Canopie (773) 715-6539 Havier

I'm in Texas. Probably just end up with a local guy but was curious to get some other options

I was looking thru my emails for something and this one came up from Jim Lewis. I am guessing others got the same.

Jon,



I want to Thank You for being so understanding with our situation. I assure you in the long run you will have no regrets.

Working capital has been my problem since assuming control here. I am willing to pay out the rear for it so I will let you know what

I am offering – if you have any interest let’s talk further about it.

I am offering to you and everyone else I know 25% interest for the use of their funds. In your case (if you have any interest) you can take it back in

cash or merchandise during 2017. This would give you an additional 25% off the prices we discussed. I realize this might be strange considering we are already

late on the first order – I guess it can’t kill me to ask.



Thank you again,





Jim Lewis
