The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Update on Patricks antique parts

As of 11/21/2018 Patrick's is out of business.

Attached are 2 notices that are posted on the front door of the business.

If you are still owed parts by the business, you still may have some recourse by calling the phone numbers listed on the posted notices.

Thank you for following up on this for us. Hopefully it will be of some help to those owed parts or refunds.🛠

Thanks, MT

A sad situation for Patrick's family, and for his customers.

Very sad indeed. I always had good business results with them.

Sad indeed. I still remember the first time I visited the Patrick's AD truck compound way back in the late 1980's !






.

Really knew his biz. I hope they can resurrect it.

Does anyone know why he went out of business?

Do a search on Patricks or Patrick's.

Over the past ten years his reliability (and maybe his honesty) has degraded.

He was/is knowledgeable, and he was always friendly and helpful.

A lot of members have reported getting severely burned by him.

I mirror Tim's comments. My dealings with him were always very good and conversations very informative.

I know nothing of his business but had heard that the "custom truck builds" were the beginning of his downfall. Get on the treadmill of having to produce maximum business today to cover yesterday's commitments, and it is just a time bomb waiting for a stumble. That may or may not be his personal case but it is indeed sad to lose a business that was that committed to the hobby.

I wish him and his family well in the future and am sorry that such a knowledgebase left such a sour taste in the mouths os many customers who consider themselves to have fallen victim to the wheels coming off the wagon.

thanks mother trucker called the number and spoke to the landloard who told me has nothing to do with the parts but if you have a vehicle in on the property and have proof of ownership he will consider realeasing the property would not give me a contact number for patrick keep us posted if anyone hears what is going on its a little far for me if there is a sale of parts from inside but maybe if there is a fellow bolter could see if they could recoup anything for us poor victims or better yet someone from the dykes family should step up to the plate and with what is left weather parts ordered or something else should be given a chance to be sent something of value . i have sent several msgs on his site giving him the opportunity to send something he has that is laying around and have had no response.

I was stiffed for a 3.55 ring and pinion, bearings, bushings etc to the tune of 550.00. Many calls over the past 2-3 years, many false promises. Patrick, his son, and wife were quick to sweet talk and promise the parts. Wouldn’t return my money but quick to withdraw from my debit account.

Ok folks, this issue has been beaten to death in many threads over the past few years. Continuing to trash the Business will do absolutely nothing to get satisfaction for those members who lost money from the shady business practices. The business is closed and at this point is no longer able to cheat anyone out of their money. The thread is locked and any further threads will be deleted after review. End of story.
