TFX International Specialized Vehicle Transport - WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY WHOSE MOTTO IS " WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE "

[FRANKR]

Recently, I made a significant investment in a rare and valuable 1 of a kind Frank Elliot 5 year Rotisserie restoration 472 Hemi - 4 speed - Dana 60 car from Ryan - The Boat Wholesaler in Ontario, following their recommendation to utilize TFX Auto Transport for shipping arrangements - that was on or about January 29th.

The agreement and signed contract was for the car to be collected from Ryan's sizable heated storage facility, loaded directly onto the transport trailer in the large warehouse in that facility and delivered straight to my home in NB. I had meticulously prepared for its arrival by clearing the driveway of all snow down to clean blacktop, ensuring a smooth 20 foot transition into one of my garages.

However, TFX failed to uphold their end of the deal. Instead of picking up the car from the agreed location, citing truck malfunctions on several occasions as an excuse, they recklessly had it driven 500 meters in the midst of a snowstorm to an auto repair shop without my knowledge, where it languished for ten days despite assurances of prompt retrieval. The owner of the repair shop, unable to accommodate the prolonged storage of the vehicle, allowed it to be moved around within the premises.

Subsequently, the car when TLX finally arrived was driven onto salty roads to load as per truck pictures attached once again I was assured it would be delivered to me where I had again had access prepared at my residence as agreed, but instead they transported the vehicle to TFX's storage facility where it remained idle for an additional two weeks and was finally delivered March 4th 2024 but to AJM Classic Inc.

Upon discovering that TFX had exposed the car to snow and salt, I rightfully demanded a thorough detailing to eliminate any damage caused by contamination. Shockingly, Adam, purportedly the owner's son, callously refused to comply. Left with no other recourse, I was compelled to deliver the car and enlist the services of AJM Classics Inc. in Moncton NB for a complete detailing, only to uncover extensive other damage inflicted by TFX from their constant loading and unloading.

Now, TFX has adopted a stance of silence, ignoring my emails and withholding information regarding their insurer, effectively obstructing my ability to file a claim for damages.

This egregious behavior and blatant disregard for their responsibilities must be addressed promptly and rectified without further delay.

It appears that due to disrespect for a one of a kind classic 6 figure vehicle I am forced to rectify this matter legally which is already being done.

BUT I WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF DEALING WITH THIS UNETHICAL COMPANY - READ THEIR NEGATIVE REVIEWS AS IT GIVES AN HONEST INSITE INTO THIS COMPANIES REAL FAILING BUSINESS ETHICS AND MOTTO " WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE "

WELL I WISH MINE WAS THE SAME - BUT NOT TO BE - IT IS THE GHOSTING AND 1 ONE PHONE CALL FROM ADAM TELLING ME HOW GREAT THEIR SERVICE IS BUT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE??

5 weeks to move a car from Ontario to NB and do extreme damage to it and they are not responsible??

THEY ARE NOW GHOSTING ME - EVEN THOUGH I HAD 3 OTHER FLAWLESS COLLECTOR CARS THEY QUOTED ME ON TO MOVE FROM LANGLEY BC TO MY NEW FOREVER HOME IN NB

Needless to say that is not happening - attached is one of them

 

[300rag]

What I liked about them was the fact it was all company drivers and equipment with no subcontractors to be concerned about. Sounds like this isn't the case any longer. I hope you get it all sorted out.

 

[Mr C]

I used TFX 6 years ago and was pleased with the overall service. Sorry about your experience.

[Mr onetwo]

Vehicle transport is a sketchy business at best. The pickup I purchased down in Boca Raton, FL disappeared for 2 weeks and I thought for sure that it had been stolen.Even though the experience ultimately turned out OK...that two weeks was awful.Good luck in your battle with these bastards.

Thanks for the good wishs but this has been going on for well over a month - reported to better business bureau but they did not even respond to them - who are still trying to contact them even though they claim they are a better business bureau member.

I JUST WANT TO GET IT OUT HERE SO OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOT TAKEN IN BY THERE FRAUDS AND DECECPTIONS.

Here is what they claim they provide and it is utter garbage - this is in response from their lawyers blanket denials:

Note: this lawyer is a clown who does not even know the Motor Carrier Act that is mandated by the Federasl Goverment that each province is by law required to adhere to:

Good Afternoon Mr. Raynor,

I am receipt of your countless emails. As previously requested, please cease and desist from contacting my client, including by copying them on these emails. It remains our position that TFX has not breached any contract or acted negligently in any way. We are unclear which section of what statute you continue to reference, as the Motor Carriers Act is only law in certain provinces (not Ontario), and in any event in the provinces in which it exists, contains no provision requiring a motor carrier to provide a customer with its insurance information.

Further, I am advising that in our view, your intentional campaign of untrue statements and remarks, regarding both myself and my client, are defamatory and libellous and we would respectfully request that you cease and desist from posting those on the internet. This includes your creation of and continued development of tfx.reviews.

I would ask that if you believe your complaints are warranted, and have retained counsel as you previously advised, please have them contact me directly.

Finally, you have posted my personal contact information on the internet without my consent. I would ask that this be removed within 24 hours. You do not have my consent to post and/or otherwise publish any of my communications, including but not limited to, my personal telephone number.

Have a good weekend,
David

THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS AND SCAMMERS - THEY DID OVER 10,000.00 OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR AS IT HAS TO GO BACK ON A ROTESSORIE AFTER DUMPING ALL FLUIDS

10k? I don't believe it. You're being a super mega drama queen about the whole experience, which I admit sucked, so I'm shaking my head at that 10k figure.
Oh, that is a B-body, btw.

 

[FRANKR]

1) Fully aware that is a B Body as have restored numberous Hemi (1966 Dodge Charger) and 440 six pak cars - SEE IMAGES .

Actually that is far from what this whole incident is costing me - so far I have spent the funds to have the car detailed to remove all the salt and sand from what was a prestine 1 of a kind and only will be one of a kind car - plus on two occasions paid employees to get my garages ready to accept the car by clearing snow on my long driveways done to bare blacktop so the truck could back in close to my two 4 car garages and car could be driven 20 feet into its resting spot on dry pavement.

To take the car back to its previous prestine condition requires removing all fluids and putting on a rotesssire - replacing a matching set of headers and you have obviouly not hired a classic auto restorer shop - the damages are also much more than shown .

Actually we are suing them for the fact it has lost it's provenance and my being able to state that the car is actually exactly as restored by Frank Elliot with 600 miles since his nuts and bolts restoration - plus can no longer state never driven in rain or snow as they moved the car thru a snow storm to a repair garage without my permission constantly claiming their truck broke down ?? where it sat being moved in and out exposed to the weather for 10 days waiting while they finally arrived 3 weeks from date booked - then moved it but not to my place but to their storage yard - loading and unloading it who know how many times and finally delivering it to AJM 2 weeks later as they refused to detail the vehicle even though they advertise they provide those services only to find these extensive damages.

THESE GUYS ARE CLOWNS - JOCK FROM RJ SERVICES MOVED MY 1966 OLD 442 CONVERTIBLE AND WILL BE MOVING MY OTHER COLLECTOR CARS FROM BC TO NB NOT ONLY FOR LESS THAN FTX QUOTED ME BUT DID IT FLAWLESSLY KEEPING IN CONTACT ALL THE WAY WITH LOAD AND DELIVER FROM SAME LOCATION ON THE TRAILER.

MY INTENT HERE IS TO LET OTHERs KNOW - JUST WHAT THIS COMPANY IS ALL ABOUT AND THEIR MOTTO " WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE "

commando1 SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR ARE TALKING ABOUT - WHICH IT APPEARS IS COMMON AMONG YOUR POSTS WHERE YOU SEEM TO TAKE PRIDE IN TALKING DOWN TO PEOPLE WITH NO CONSTRUCTIVE OR MEANINGFUL INPUT - HEY WHAT CAR DO YOU EVEN HAVE OR ARE YOU JUST A CHAIR JOCKEY ???​

 

[Big_John]

You're being a super mega drama queen about the whole experience, which I admit sucked

This sums up this thread.

 

[cuda hunter]

I would be pissed off !!!
A few threads here and there would be the least.
Go after them, get your funds if you can
Thanks for the heads up.

Stumbled on this and wish I hadn't read all of it. @commando1

You joined last Nov and immediately talked about B-bodies in your hello post. Not a crime, but it's irrelevant to most of us on this website. (Read the room.)

Then 4 mos later you start this rant about TFX, about high-dollar superficial damages to a car you 'recently invested in' and sold around the time you joined. Apparently it wasn't a car you cared about, you didn't keep it, and it certainly wasn't a car related to this forum. Your rant was on the premise of 'to warn others'.

You said they caused $10k of damage and in the same post show an invoice where you had it corrected for <$1500.
You later post text from an attorney representing TFX where it specifically says to cease-and-desist posting such things on the internet.
You post things that have your full name in them - not smart.

It's been my experience in reading rants like this over the last 15+ years that they're all the same. It's not to warn others, it's vengeance, plain and simple. To feel like you're extracting your pound of flesh, that you're getting even for the injustice you were dealt. A wise person would've simply collected their evidence, consulted a lawyer, and kept their mouth SHUT. But you don't work that way, apparently.

But whatever about all that.

Here's the thing:
You came on here with no interest in this forum, your 2nd post starts a revenge-rant, and then you belittle one of our long-standing members because he said something that hurt your feelings. You don't know anything about them, but you presume about why they're here or what cars they do/don't own? And then to puff yourself up, you show us pictures of scanned old 4x6s of a Ford and B-bodies and repost previous pics of an Olds? (again, read the room)

Commando1 has earned his place here with a string of C-bodies over the years.
Commando1 has friends here and is valued. You aren't. (if you want to become valued, you've got an uphill start)
