I own V8 Engineering, as well as other businesses, I received two calls from people Kent has had dealings with years ago. I have talked with kent in great depth about this situation, and he is giving me a moth to replace him, as well as train in someone. what I find incredible, is why these two people who called me were hostile towards me. I have known Kent for three years, he has been a wonderful employee at both businesses he has worked at, and i have had no problems with him. In july I placed my shop on the market and he stated he would be happy to take it over, as of this date, funds have not surfaced, and due to his future legal issues I can see why. He supplied me with court papers that have him pleading guilty to one, let me make this clear, one count of mail fraud. He is to be sentenced in January. As for Mr. Damien Frentz, I spoke with im about his complaint, I wient over his build sheet part by part, his file has no less then 121 lines of requests and changes. There are always two sides to a story, and this individual is the only person I am aware of in three years with a complaint. I offered this person to have a judge hear his side and my side, to be fair, he requested a financial settlement to help him place his engine in the form he felt it was suppose to be. I want to emphisize, this engine has a build sheet with every part number, signed by the customer and verified by him to me by telephone. I do not appreciate the two calls i got, and furthermore, Kent is not the "owner" he has been the manager at both of my businesses, and I have enjoyed working with him. When he is past his legal problems I will enjoy working with him in the future. His abilities are undeniable, his automotive intellect is without a rival. I am sorry for anyone who has had a loss due to his failed business, but after reading this thread, I see he had a business that got away from him and he decided making excuses was his way out. While working for me he has had a string of bad luck situations, but unfortunately for the people here who wish to link it to his past, as a employer i easily verified any employee with a issue.
my e-mail is
V8Engineering@comcast.net, if you have further questions, and if they are polite. I will NOT be giving out his home phone or address or such, childish questions are of no interest to me. I see this legal action as done, and he will obviously be doing what a judge asks, but any recourse while he is employed by me will not be happening! dave Anton
