      I had purchase a stand on skid steer for this company and asked why the control patterns were not placed in ISO formation instead of H pattern as I common North American control on these types of machine granted I did this sight unseen but had requested this of them before purchasing. as is the machine cannot be operated as it is a huge safety concern and the controls will cause an accident I had asked for them to reach out to the manufacture on how to resolve this as it is a ***** made product backed by them. To which I did not get any assistance on. On the website is does not state the pattern control of the machine and if this was made aware I would have bought more locally.

      Business response

      22/12/2023

      You bought the machine over a year ago and have just complained. All our mini skid steers come with H pattern control, which is mentioned in the manual, and we also sent you a video of the machine functioning before you bought it. We did talk to our engineer overseas, and he mentioned that they never made it with the Iso control only in the bigger skid steer; we are still in communication with them to get more information on how you can modify we will get back to you as soon as we got an answer from them. 
      We appreciate your patience and hope you have a wonderful day.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I reject your responses as I havent recieved any communications from the company since my complaint but from the website I have found a general response to hear type of complaints against them  and can speculate that its going to go on that its been a year and that they assume that the control pattern is standard but that is moronic in its stance and not very convincing as they can state that in there website very easily which they dont as I would not have purchased the machine as its not safe in my business so more on the end of falsely identifying a product to make a sale. Also in my original complaint for a machine that has only had 9 hours of operation and to be rusting out faster the a car on an ******* salted highway. Seems like they are aware of the product they are willingly selling and just dont care to rip people off as long as one of 100 get through with them.

      Hello, 
      We followed up with the factory again, and they confirmed that the control pattern can not be modified; otherwise, it will damage the machine's proper functioning. and again, if you leave your machine outside with no cover, it will  get *****, and there is nothing to do with product quality, 
      we have the same machine inside our warehouse in ******* and ** branches, and they still look brand new with no rust on them.

I have had my car block in the air 2 days for an electrical problem in the lift unit, many many problems.......I'have lost much than 6500$... 5,391.18$ in this dangerous lift and ****+ $ in repairs for nothing because all is garbage and there nothing to do with that.This thing is just inusable for lift cars, that's not correct to sell material like this, it can injurie or kill someone.

      Hello, there was nothing on your site when i have buy this lift, and you haven't help me by mail or phone when i contacted you in february.
      Now there is a notice as i can see on your site, okay that's good but for my problem when i have received your material, it's totally useless there was a problem with the unit, and i think it's not normal for a brand new product.

      Yes give me an email and i can send you pictures of the leaks but for what exactly? For send me a packet of seals or you pay for the work for replace the seals too? 
      No i'm sure, and i don't want to spend much money and time for that piece of scrap, i will be happy to send you a video of the lift when it can't lift a poor golf mk5. ****kg capacity, a golf is ****kg and it can't lift, if i remove the wheels of a car, i have to maintain the lift at a minimum of 3ft of height, if i down the car, the lift can't re up and i have to stabilise the car with jacks and lift again with less charge on it, that's really really good for work on a car without transmission or engine so what can we do for this BIG problem?

      And for the safety, no coment...

      You have sell me 5k+$ a non fonctionnal chinese lift who really cost 1.5k + shipping on alibaba, that's the real story and i'm not the only one in this case so now i tell you what a good company do.

      Solution 1: Refund me a partial amount for the money i've spent in it 

      Solution 2: Take the lift back and refund me

      Pure waste of time the lift is instaled correctly, that's not the first and a tech has diagnose the trouble he repairs lifts all days, and the big trouble is that lift is pure garbage, 0 fiablility that things needs repairs all time and nothing is good so stop kidding me. 
      At my old shop we have 2 used rotary, they work's perfectly and they have so many years, they're just good quality and safety, that's the difference...

      Answer my question, you say you send me the seals, but what you do for the work, you will pay for the replacement or sent me a technician? And If your new parts leaks again after 2 weeks, we do the work again? Do you think i enjoy repair this 6k$ garbage all time?
      I'm tired to deal with you, you don't want to do the good things, next step will be evaluation of the lift and complaint in court with others, that's all. 

      Not normal to sell dangerous material like this, i'm sure you don't use your own products, this material can kill, i'm affraid of use it, if an accident happen you have to pay all your life for your innaction.

      ********* are tested before they are shipped out. Since you are mentioning you did not receive a manual then we cannot be sure it was installed properly therefore we are still waiting a contact number to send the video 

      our warranty is parts only for 1 year, this is posted on our website very clearly. Therefore we will send out the seals for the warranty (however we will need a video or photo proof of this( since so far we have not received any video or photo of this. 

      when you provide your contact number we can send the install video to check your install, when you send us photo and video of this leak, we can then send these out to you. Lastly if you send a video of this lift in operation to show us what is happening with it, as once again all we have is your text saying it doesnt work however no photo or video on this

      We have reviewed both videos, it is showing that the lift goes up when there is no car on the lift, however when the car is on the lift then it does go up. There is a few reasons for this, 

      Firstly please provide your electric voltage, amp and whether scissor lift is on a dedicated line as this can be a reason the lift is not working when a car is on it,

      Secondly we can send over a video of a pressure valve to adjust that can solve this problem, please provide your phone number and we will be able to send over the video by this 

       

      Thank you

      10/11/2023

      Thank you for providing the email, we have forwarded over both videos for you to review, we also recommend checking your electrical to ensure it is 110V, 30 amp and this unit needs a dedicated line (if you do not have this electrical the lift will not go up) 

      If your electric is correct per above, follow both videos for the install and air adjustment 

      For the seals we will be shipping those out to your address and will be sending you the tracking number to your email as well

      We told you over the phone that we can not guarantee the unit will be red, We mentioned to you it comes in mostly black and a few are red. The freight company accidentally put the wrong weight when booking the equipment over the phone, the correct weight is in the manual as you have seen. It was just for shipping where the weight was incorrect. We also sent you videos and the manual before you purchased as well for you to review.

      The crate was extensively damaged and in no means able to repackage and ship back. Are you guys are willing to pay compensation for my time and materials in building a new crate? I already lost all my trust in capital automotive equipment. I do all this work and effort and you guys won't refund me or only partial refund. This is honestly not looking like a really good option. If you guys would have sent me the lift that you are advertising and that you have confirmed that i would be getting, we would not be having this conversation.

      I purchased a 1.3 mini excavator from Capital Automotive Equipment on May 19,2022. I was told that there was a machine in stock and ready to ship. A $500 deposit was given at this point and the following day the financing was secured through the company's financial partner, **********. The following day another $2435.83 was sent to ********** to complete the transaction. Part of the transaction was $1500 for the machine to be shipped to my address. It is now July 22, a full 2 months later and I have yet to receive my machine. I have reached out no less than 25 times and have been given a multitude of excuses from customs inspection delays to delivery issues. I was assured that I would have it this week, but since I am making the complaint I obviously still do not have my machine. I am making monthly payments on a machine I do not have and frankly do not even know if it exists.

      On April 19, 2022 I put down a $500.00 deposit on a one ton *** ******* mini-excavator, and I was told that in two weeks they would get it and ship it to me. Two weeks later, when they didn't contact me, I called them and they said it would be two more weeks. After those two weeks, I had to call them again and again they said that it would be two more weeks. At that point, they said that the one ton mini ex was not going to be available for some time. Instead, they said they had a 1.3 ton mini Ex that was available at the docks and I could have it for $1000.00 more. Because I needed the machine, I said that I would take it. Then they told me that it had to go through inspections at the docks first and they billed me for the total price of the 1.3 ton mini ex. Two weeks later, I phoned, again, and asked them what the hold up was and they said that it had to be inspected first so I asked the manager to phone me. I waited for almost 4 hours and no one phoned. The next day, someone from the company phoned me. I asked him what the hold up was, and he said that the inspectors need to be paid too and it hadn't been inspected. A week later, I phoned them again, and asked about the hold up. By this time it was June 6, and I made full payment thinking it would speed things up getting the mini ex to me. After 2 more weeks, after paying for it, I phoned them again on June 20 and they said the hold up was because their fork lift blew a hydraulic line. They said that it would take another week. Now, on June 30, I still haven't heard from them. I phoned ******* *** and they said that they had never sold CAEL anything in their whole career. Now I am thinking I got scammed royally because all sales have to go through ******* ***. This company never phones me except for the one time that I asked for the manager to call me. They never apologize and always give excuses. I want immediate delivery of the machine or a complete refund of $14, 558.88.

      Hello 

       

      The attachments such as the auger and breaker should be able to attach to the excavator directly, you should not need an attachment. Please take a video of the attachments being put on the excavator and we can see if there is an attachment needed we can send it out to you. Or if they are being put on incorrect we will send you the proper way to put them on to solve your problem 

      Have this sent to our email: ******************************* 

      Please reference your invoice number as well

      I purchased a 8,000 LB Auto Lift for 2975.00 from CAEL and picked up the lift on Oct. 1st.2021 at their Surrey location. On Sunday Oct. 3rd I started to unpack the various pieces and it was then that I found that the bottom or left runway was badly bent, almost 2 inches from being crushed or dropped. I immediately took pictures and sent them to Sasha with an explanation. On Monday I decided to go ahead and assemble the hoist. At this point I found a hydraulic leak on the cylinder at the weld and the 2 end plates that allow the ramp to attach to the runway was the wrong ones. I took additional photos and passed them on to Sasha and Al. Al the CAEL Manager on Oct 30th promised in writing to replace the runway. provide a new ram and provide the 2 end plates. He expected they would arrive in 2 months. Feb 11th I contacted Al and on Feb16th he informed me that the boat was about to arrive in port. Apr 2nd and Apr. 12th I sent an Email to Al but did not get a reply. Apr. 26 I phoned Al and again a promise of 3 weeks On May 12th I sent him a Email telling him that I was tired ** ***** ****** ****** and that I was about to file a complaint with BBB. He phoned back right away, but now he wants me to dismantle the lift at my expense and ship it back at my expense. Both suggestions are very costly. I suggested 1,000.00 in compensation and he was to get back to me by Tue May 17th. This has not happened and I am tired of the runaround. I do not believe that he ever ordered the replacement parts or had any intention to honor the warranty. I hope that you can help me with this situation as so far I have gone nowhere.

      Hello,

       

      As we have discussed the compensation in the past we refuse to do the compensation of $1000, but we said we can replace the parts for you and we can cover shipping cost.

      I purchased a **** ******* bucket from Capital Automotive on March 31 2022 for $3287.20 with the understanding that the bucket was in stock and would be shipped that day or first thing the next day. After trying to contact the business multiple times to get a tracking number to verify the shipment and being told it would be shipped on various days I finally was able to get a tracking number from Capital Auto nine days late. The shipping company claims that the shipping number was for a truckload going to Kelowna and after many phone calls I was able to get my supposed shipment delivered on April 19 2022. The shipment that arrived was not what I ordered, it was a bucket of much lesser value. I contacted Capital Automotive and was told they would get back to me immediately about correcting the problem. I have been through this **** *** ***** with them before trying to get a tracking number. What I am asking for is to have the correct bucket shipped to me a soon as possible or a refund of my money. This company acts like ******** with many promises and no actions. They have taken money to provide me with a product that they advertise and have no intentions of producing such product. A small claims action will be started forthwith. I will not accept the word of this company that they plan to correct the problem, they have proven many times not to follow through.
