Well my car went on fire this morning at Park Ave Acura. Somone had broken in to their garage and set the garage on fire. My car and two others went on fire. This really sucks! I hope everyone at Park Ave is ok.

 

no $hit?

are you kidding me?

 

HOLY CRAP!

 

Damn...what's wrong with people? Breaking in and then setting businesses on fire?? It is sick....

Let's hope all at Park Ave is alright, and damn....all the best sorting out the issues with the car situation. I hope insurance will pick it up for you.

 

Yeah, this is a huge mess now. I had the Sheriff of NJ call my house and he questioned me. He asked if I set it on fire or if I hired someone to put it on fire!!!!! I can't believed this happened!!!!!

 

I don't know what to say about that... they expect the person that did it to go "oh yeah, that was me... why?". I guess they have to start somewhere.

 

honestly, I think the sherrif should check out the rival dealerships that have trouble competing with Park Ave's incredible service and outstanding employees....

hmmmmmm......

 

I would most definitely look at dealers who have lost business to Park Ave Acura, and also to customers that are trying to make a quick buck from the insurance company.

Wayne and Jens, you don't have disgruntled employees, do you?

 

OMFG!

So sorry to hear about your car and PAA.

BTW, how bad was the damage to the garage and to all the cars?

And I remembered someone was asking about PAA and why there were so many fire trucks and cops around there.

 

Which dealer was that complaining that everyone praises Park Ave? Was it Montclair Acura?

Yep, it was montclair.

 

I didn't think ppl still do stuff like that.........

 

OH SH!T!!!!!!!! WTF?!? O___O Damn...i wonder if it really can be Montclair that would do such an ACT!!! Acura needs to be notified.....heh..

CarFreak, I'm so sorry about your car....this is worse then just getting it broken intO!!!!!! hope you get a new baby soon.

 

Oh my God Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could this happen??? This is terrible, horrible, appalling news. I am so sorry this happened, I still can't believe it How?

I hope you, Wayne and Jens and everybody are OK, so sad for it to happen at anytime of the year but right before the holidays. I feel for you guys.
This is so I'm freakin out!!!!

Wayne, Jens and everybody at Park Ave, I hope you guys will be OK.

Ben, you need to borrow my car for a date or something, give me a call.

So sorry to hear this

 

Damn I feel bad for PAA, your car and whoever the other car is

I don't believe people go that far. Not that i blame on Monclair or PAA's rival But let the police bring out the truth

 

Holy Crapola! Sounds like something from a TV show on Court TV!!
Hope the PAA guys are OK.

Sorry to hear about your car. I can't believe that the sherriff had the yarbles to call YOU about the fire!

:-jon

 

Yeah, no kidding, like that dealer that posted on here the other day.... Don't recall the name, but they were disputing posters that had negative things to say about them, then bashed Park Avenue....

 

that's where I was going with my statement but couldn't find the link (actually, I didn't look for it because I didn't want people saying I was pointing fingers )

 

Heres the latest- the investigators think is was probably arson. The fire was small, but very smoky-sooty and confined to a small area in the rear of the shop by the car wash machine. We had 4 cars in the shop unfortunately, 2 customer and 2 of ours one of the customers being Carfreaks! Ben- I am sorry- you know we will do whatever is neccssary. None of them was burned, but they are filled with soot and ash- don't know if they can be cleaned. Our insurance will cover whatever is neccessary for them I'm told. The building is fine- 1 broken window, the car wash machine 1/2 melted and lots, lots of soot. The tech tools and equiptment look allright. The cleaning company says it will take about a week to get everthing done, but we should be up an running partially in a couple of days.

I apologize to anyone who had an appointment with us today- they would not let us in the building and we could not notify anyone not to come. If you have an appointment any time this week- please call tomorrow so we can work out a schedule to take care of what ever you need.

Thank god no one was hurt, cars and buildings can be cleaned or replaced. Thanks also to every one who has sent their best wishes to us- we appreciate your support. We'll be back, cleaner than ever, in a short while.!

Please don't bash anyone over this. The police are worinkg on finding the perps.

 

Thanks for the quick reply Wayne, I was wondering how bad it was. Thank goodness it wasn't any worse....but it's still very sad news

 

Wow, I just finished my first of 3 finals exam...and haven't been on the board all day and I see this??? WTF??? I'm really glad no one was hurt and everyone is ok.. I feel bad for Ben..who got a double wammie..first getting his car broken into and now sootyied with ash...damn. Well good luck on the repairs and keep us posted.

 

hahaha Joey...I'm afraid Ben can't repair his poor TL-S.. O_O unless if we can figure out how to paint over ash......

Ben, will you be getting the exact same color still?

 

since he posted in 2 forums, I'll just quote this for him

 

Hm... your car got "ashed" and "smoked" yet the Sheriff came and asked if you did it?? WTF is with that??

Anyways, sorry to hear it.... hope everything turned out fine for you....

awwww....why not another Acura?

 

Its BMW time for that boy!!!!! I'd do the same, i like change.

 

thats what happens when youre an honest and hard working dealership (we all know theres not too many of those around) i'm sorry to hear about this and good luck to everyone involved

 

It may sound outlandish but I wouldn't be that surprised if somebody connected to Montclair actually tried to sabotage another business.

 

we have a right to speculate, but lets make sure we don't accuse.

a-tl.com doesn't need any slander law suits

 

Though it is possible that another dealership, like Montclair, or any dealership for that matter could have done or be connected with something like this, i doubt it extremly, i just dont think that a dealership could be that bitter about them possibly taking bussness away from them to do this. I would think they would be more profesional then that....I would hope so at aleast.

 

was anything even stolen? Or did they just break in and try to burn the place down? I just find that weird. Has to be someone that HATES park ave.

 

I agree with Crzy Acura. IN CarFreak's other post in the TL-S forum. Wayne replied to that thread, and he said it appears to be arson. So there is a hater out there.

 

Are you for real? For expressing my own opinions on a board...Acura-tl.com can get hit with a suit? There is something wrong with that right there...

 

I think so. remember the guy that got sewed from the dealership? Didn't they try to get vwvortex.com involved because he posted his opinions about the dealership there?

 

Well here's the info on my car:

I went to Park Ave Acura last night to look at the damage on my car. When I 1st went in there, my car was covered in soot. I then popped the trunk open and there was soot all over. I then opened my car door and there was soot and ashes all over! Not even a single inch was ok. I then ejected my cd's out of the player and all 6 of them were covered in soot! Even my glove compartment and sunglass holder was covered in soot!!!!!!!!!! I can't imagine my car being fixed/cleaned up. I hope Park Ave's insurance adjuster totals my car, cuz I don't want my $35k just being cleaned up. I shall find out what the insurance company says this evening. Wish me luck!

 

Good luck Ben!!

 

yup, they went after the board also.

 

Suing a-tl will be a lost cause, but that doesn't mean they won't. Lawsuits have a tendency to splatter like mud on a brick wall. Don't get too close!

 

Let me get this straight, Park Aves Insurer has said they will pay for you're vehicle? If so great, if not, perhaps you're Insurer should become involved, at least advise them on this.

You will likely be dealt better with, by you're own Insurer. You may also get paid more if you're car is totaled, and you have the depreciation waiver, (for new vehicles).

I wonder why Park Aves Insurers would pay at all, unless they are neglegent in some way, of which there is no indication of.

To Wayne, do you, know Park Aves Insurers position in this matter?

BTW, if I was Park Aves adjuster, I would just tell all the vehicles owners to call their own Insurers, who could later go after Park Aves Insurers, if their is any negligence. BTW, I am an adjuster.

 

damn thats crazy! speakin of cars on fire, i have a really creepy story. my bestfriends brother just passed away, RIP, he was only 24. well his mother was visiting his grave and right before she left, she noticed her ML320 was on fire! then it eventually exploded, is that ****ing weird or what. he just died a week ago too, and it was a brand new ML that was parked in sum lot. the car was just inspected a week ago. no one was near it to put a bomb on it or something. a new benz without the keys in it doesnt just explode! sum creepy ****!
