W. Alan Parkinson Regulatory Consultant Florida Dept. of Agriculture & Consumer Services parkinw@doacs.state.fl.us Ref: 0901-01373/WAP Dear Mr. Parkinson: Please accept this reponse to my complaint. Hummel Tire/Auto claims that my car 's oil level was within factory specifications. as well as having sludge in the oil pan. They also suggested I take it for a second opinion inspection. The above does not correspond to the actual facts in this case. 1. The oil level at the time of the engine failure was virtualy non-existant. I personally inspected this first hand immediately. A passerby also was present and verified that there was no oil in the engine. 2. My 1997 Lexus was recalled in May 2002 and repaired by the Lexus deale in Orlando. This was done at 94678 miles. Since that time the car has never had a problem and all maintenance was performed as recommended by the factory. 3. I did take it to a certified mechanic, GW Automotive. Although the oil pan had already been removed, GW concluded that the oil filter was clean. They also found pickup was free of obstructions. There was no sign of a 'sludge' problem. 4. The Service Manager at Carmax,Clearwater, has never seen a catastrophic failure like that on a Lexus. Several questions are still not answered by Hummel: 1. How did the rod bearings get into the oil pan. 2. Why did the car lose oil pressure all of a sudden. In addition, although Hummel states that car was inspected by Shop Foreman, Lead Technician and both owners, these are the same people that 4 daays earlier punctured the right side axle seal. Hummel allowed the car to leave the shop with this defect. The point is, mistakes happen and I understand they can not be perfect. All I want is to be made good for that mistake, allowing my car to leave only t suffer a catastrophic failure within the next 60 driven miles. I have attached all the paperwork to backup this complaint.

Professional job. A bit expensive, but the water heater being a propane gas water heater might explain the price. Water heater replacement $1800.

JackRabbit was founded on the premise of Integrity, Reliability, and putting our customers first. We strive to build a relationship of trust with every call. We know the fear and frustration that builds up when your Air Conditioner stops working and our goal is to be the company you can trust to treat you fairly and honestly. JackRabbit service techs and install teams are trained to solve problems effectively and efficiently on the FIRST visit. From new installs to simple repairs, JackRabbit does it all.
"DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY We chose Jack Rabbit based on a recommendation from a friend, expecting professionalism, transparency, and quality service. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of those expectations. At the time I was gathering quotes, my husband, a professional engineer was not home. He also wasn’t present during the installation. To ensure clarity, I had Jack Rabbit’s engineer/salesperson speak with him by phone. That conversation quickly turned tense, as the salesperson was dismissive and disrespectful toward my husband’s expertise. It was clear the salesperson was more concerned with defending his ego than engaging in an honest, informed discussion. With temperatures soaring and no AC for a few days, I made a rushed decision to move forward with Jack Rabbit, trusting that they would honor their agreement to match a competitor’s quote not just in price, but in equipment and specifications. That promise was a key reason I chose them. Sadly, what we received did not reflect that commitment. The AC unit installed was not the higher-end model we were led to expect, and the discrepancy only came to light after the fact. I left messages for upper management and the owner, hoping to discuss our disappointment and give the company an opportunity to acknowledge where things went wrong. To date, I have received no return call. That silence speaks volumes about their commitment to customer service and accountability. This experience has left us feeling misled and disappointed. What should have been a straightforward and respectful transaction turned into a frustrating ordeal marked by poor communication, broken promises, and a lack of integrity and money out the window. Now that we’ve paid thousands of dollars, to include a one-year service agreement, I find myself asking: do I even dare have them come back? Can I trust them to do right by us? Sadly, they already have our money, and based on this experience, I have little confidence they’ll stand behind their work. If you’re considering this company, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Reputation means nothing without integrity, and based on my experience, Jack Rabbit does not stand behind their word or their work. Positive Note: The installer Dejour was excellent, so patient and understanding. So professional and took the time to explain things to me, when others from the company wouldn't clarify. Thank you, Dejour!"

"This company is THE MOST reputable, professional, OUTSTANDING company we have ever worked with. We use them for both our home and our office and they are always AMAZING. What makes them amazing? The level of care, integrity and information that they provide. The fact that they are the lowest prices but highest quality. They stand behind EVERYTHING they do. We have had used them for repairs (prior to our new A/C unit) for YEARS and once our A/C finally stopped working, their team came asap and got us setup with a great new unit. We encountered a couple of issues with equipment (no fault of theirs) and they were fast to come and get things replaced. We have had to call them on holidays and weekends and they have ALWAYS come through for us. Not only is the company itself awesome, but literally every member of John's team that we have ever worked with, has been so invested in doing the best job with everything and it clearly shows. His guys go above and beyond - like even helping with things that were completely unrelated. They make great recommendations and always do their best to keep costs as low as possible. They stand behind everything they do and they don't try to sell you ANYTHING that you don't really need. Not only is the company and the staff great, but the owner himself (John) sees to things personally and makes sure his customers are taken care of and happy. I think my favorite thing about John though is the fact that he treats his employees so well - and that comes from THEIR mouths. They all have the upmost respect for him and freely talk about the things he has done to help them professionally and personally. He truly is an incredible human - who does good by everyone. I support this business 10000000000% and recommend them to EVEYRONE we know."

FAQs for heating oil service projects in Seminole, FL
To buy heating oil for your house, contact local heating oil companies to compare prices and place an order once you decide on a supplier. The company will have to deliver your heating oil in a truck designed to carry and dispense heating oil safely. Call and order your heating oil early enough to have your oil delivered before you need to start using it for home heating.
On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.
You save money on heating oil in a few ways:
Make sure your home is well insulated and sealed against drafts and heat leakage.
Use a thermostat that’s working properly and calibrated accurately.
Program your thermostat to lower the heat when you’re not home.
Order heating oil during the off-season when prices are likely to be lower.
Summer months tend to be when heating oil prices are lowest because of decreased demand. Buying heating oil during the off-season also prepares you for when the weather gets cold, and you need to start using the oil to heat your home. Although heating oil prices will fluctuate, it’s best to avoid purchasing between September and April, as that's the peak season for heating oil demand.
Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
