Default All American Drive Service

DO NOT USE. I just got off the phone with the Bronson, MI police department. The last couple months they have been receiving calls almost daily on this business. George has not returned my call to his cell phone, business phone, emails, nor text messages. He has had my Bravo One outdrive since early last summer plus $5371.20 for the rebuild. Do a search, my issue is NOT unique. This guy may have been a great drive rebuilder in the past but today it appears he has stolen not only thousands from me, but has my outdrive as well.

This is so sad for everyone, specially for the OP. I had a XR drive rebuilt by All American a few years back. Absolutely no problems, the place was spotless, service was on time and was even walked through the break in with personal phone calls. Makes you wonder...What happened?

James, I hope this gets resolved quickly.

I'd suggest driving to his business and if someone is actually there, retrieve your drive and move on (this assumes someone else doesn't have all or part of your drive by now). You can't trust his work now even if he were to rebuild your drive. Buddy's recently rebuilt drive (2022) didn't even last a whole season and when opened up for inspection by a local Merc tech, he decided to just go ahead and buy a new drive and not even attempt to get AADS to honor their warranty.

George also has my Bravo3 and the money to rebuild it. He promised it would be done by May 1st. Since then, no contact.

There is a Facebook page for people who George has ghosted: Search for People AADS/George Griffith Scammed
