Paul Gardner / Catalina Imports
Paul Gardner is a mechanic, for as he states British cars in the Birmingham
Alabama area. He is located in LEEDS under Catalina Imports. The name
Paul Gardner also makes us British car owners shiver when he hear it. I will
explain why in this report. Paul Gardner is currently the operator of
Catalina Imports in Leeds Alabama, along with is wife Cathy Gardner. Paul
Gardner has opened 4 auto repair businesses, including Catalina Imports
and the last 3 times, he has bankrupted all three businesses, every time the
name changes due to bankruptcy. It is possible for an honest
business man to go bankrupt once maybe twice, but 3 times? I think not!
Paul has ran 3 import businesses, into the ground with his dishonest ways,
and I highly doubt it will be any different with “ Catalina Imports.” He is
very skilled at coning and charging customers for parts that DO NOT need
to be changed on a car and of course never doing the work. He was once
fired for this before opening his own business many years ago. From what I
hear Paul is STILL doing this! Of course once a rat always a rat! I used to
know Paul, before I found out about his deceitful ways, I purposely lost
contact with him. Paul is a very uneasy, unstable, sneaky person, and he
will give you a VERY uneasy feeling when, introducing himself, nearly
everyone in the British car community here in Birmingham has had an
unfortunate run-in with Paul Gardner over the years, and every one of us
has learnt our lesson with him. I now notice he has expanded to other cars,
as he states on his website “At Catalina Imports we provide service and repair
for all models, imports as well as domestic.” This is anything but the truth Paul
Gardner is VERY unskilled at British car repairs and personally I would not
trust him to pop the hood on any of my cars! He is anything but trained or
even familiar with domestic, or import cars. I would also like to point out on
his new website he states he has owned his own business for 27 years,
though he states none of the names or references anything for the 27 years
but of course he does not want to put the names of the 3 business he
bankrupted in the last 27 years. Paul has tried 4 times to have a Successful
business, but the last three times they have ended up at bankruptcy court
because Paul’s sneaky, conceiving ways always get the best of him. Just
as they will this time at Catalina Imports. I have set back and watched as
the last 3 businesses were opened and bankrupted by Paul I have also met
and seen many of the customers he has completely burnt! This time is to
much! I cannot set back and watch him con MORE innocent people I feel
this report speaks for itself and I caution anyone who has dealings with
Paul AS YOU WILL GET LIED TO, CHEATED, & BURNT I hope you reading
this will choose to take my advice and keep your car and yourself as FAR
AWAY from PAUL GARDNER & CATALINA IMPORTS AS POSSIBLE! If you
don’t you will wish you had.
