Thomas Thompson World ECM Automotive ECM rebuilds PCM ECU Trion, Georgia

If you believe you have a legitimate complaint, I would suggest you contact the Trion Police Department for further Investigation.

I can see why he is a broke Mechanic now more then ever... #1 he has no attorneys working with him but when he got the job at the dealership I am sure he had to submit to some drug testing and background checks. But that was ok with him and maybe even a contract for his employment. As I can see now he has run out of things to cry about hes copying things that do not matter at all to his complaint. The paper work he was to sign just says he won't create a law suit or start a lot of trouble like he is. But for his refund it was worth every dime to just sign it and get a refund. I see no reason at all to give him a refund we sold him a good unit and he must have had a short in that car or the e-prom was bad. Either way I was going to replace it and he rejected that. Now he is crying because he can't force me to give him a refund it said no refunds on the receipt. He knows all this so now hes just going to cry his eyes out.. But i had no idea the guy had a small child but he knew and he didn't even consider maybe he could use the refund on the baby. I feel sorry for his little boy.

With any luck his son won't grow up and be a Moron like his dad and carry on like this. I have some emails from him that make me think he is a real bad mechanic.

Hey Thomas, This is Manuel. I hadnt got back to you because I couldnt find a way to test the eprom. I went ahead and bought the new ecm from my parts department. They said I could pay it off in payments (( Because he is broke and didn't have the money to buy it. That's some mechanic can't even buy a cheap ECM after 10 years of working for this dealership as he claims. But I got a feeling this is another lie. He seems to live in a fantasy world.)) until I got a refund from you. I installed it and the car started on the first crank. Please get back with me and let me know what we can work out for a refund. Thanks ((As you see here he knew he wasn't going to get a full refund he said it what we can work out!))

 I have the car disabled in my driveway and theres nothing I could do because not only does he have my ecm, he also has my eprom so I cant even go out and buy an ecm somewhere else. (( Why would you buy it someplace else you just said you had it on order from your parts department I smell a rat again. He keeps making up lie after lie)) The only reason I decided to deal with him in the first place is because the ecm is on ((((national back order))) ((( I called a dealership and they told me it' can't be ordered even they have none)) through GM and there was no time frame ((You see here he says now there was no time frame another lie uncovered)) of when I could get one. Im an ASE master certified at a chevy dealership so I ordered one through the parts department even though they were on back order. ((( He is lying right here they don't have anymore)) I ended up getting the ecm through my parts department before I could get anything out of thomas thompson. I still couldnt do anything because he had my ecm,  ( seems funny to me he said he didn't have the money to buy the ECM he was broke and he wasn't working much and they paid him by the job but he wasn't getting many jobs. He must be a real limited mechanic if he is even a mechanic. )) 

I think this guy is a real joke not a mechanic ! 

What would I have to gain from all of this? I Told you, It's my father in-laws car. Its a 92, not a 91 or 90 like you're saying. My son loves me to death. I'd rather keep my integrity than take any money from you. Im sure your dad was a much better man than me. Obiously. Look at the fine upstanding gentleman you are.

Would anybody really sign this.

I already proved he is a liar and I gave him a super deal because he claimed he was not working! He didn't have hardly any money and on and on more and more BS.. But I believed him and I still do think he is broke. He has a child and instead of accepting the refund minus expenses like the shipping 2x $30 and for my time being wasted after I spent loads of time searching for a core to get him another computer and when I did he refused to accept it. He was under warranty I don't have to refund anything to him I have a clear and posted no refund policy. But I was going to let him get a partial refund and he acts like he is so smart and doesn't need the money so much he says keep it. He has a small child that he could have bought him toys with the money or cloths. He told me around the time he was begging for a refund so he can go and buy this other computer from the dealership. I suggested he ask them to let him pay it off since he can't afford to buy it. So he did and they as he says it now accepted that and have him on payments. Shakes my head.. When I called a chevy dealership they told me they don't have any more 90 corvette computers and they can't even order them from the warehouse. But he says he got one... Now he shows me a receipt. Who knows how he got that he works for them duh.. You have to count your fingers after shaking his hand. He already has my computer and he refused a credit minus the 2x shipping and he refused a cash pay out so because he doesn't want to sign a release and my attorney already told me if someone doesn't want to sign a release they have something sneaky planned watch it with them. This guy is a huge red flag.

Any ways I'm sure he will add to this he always does because this is his way of harrassing me and getting what he thinks is his moneys worth. Because I didn't let him extort me for more money. I just feel bad his son would have maybe got some extra toys or cloths or something he needs. I know my Dad would have taken the refund and used it on his kids. This guy sure isn't the man my Dad was. I feel sorry for his kid what kind of Dad has a small child and drives a corvette and is broke. Maybe if he sold that corvette he would have more money for his Son. 

I showed him the receipt. He stooped so low as to go on my facebook page and make fun of my pictures, and call me a bad dad for not taking his partial refund or credit with him. I'm done. I can't wait for him to show his lunacy and continue to rebutt. He always has to have the last word. Keep digging buddy.

He just said it very nicely his dealership won't take it back if you plug it in.. BINGO!! Yet he wants me to accept this unit back because he says he knows it's bad.. How does he know it's bad then?? Then he emailed me saying there is a guy here that can test & reprogram the e-proms. Well if he can flash it he can test it.... He didn't contact me back for a week then says again it's my computer not the e-prom.. But it only takes 15 mins for them to plug that e-prom in where did he go for that week?? Hes a liar I called a dealership and they told me no dealer can get these computers. So I'm thinking hes full of it and just trying to scam me.. To think if was offering him a refund minus expenses. He rejected that he wanted more.. Now he gets nothing and never will.. To think I only charged him $200 for a corvette computer anyone who sees this just call your local or any dealership and ask them if they can get you a 1991 corvette ECM and your going to hear what I heard they are not available at any price... Then you will know hes just a fake running a scam. If you need a computer see me I will get you a great deal and you will get a LIFETIME WARRANTY and no games. just see my website www.worldecm.com I'm not going out of business that's for sure with my great prices and LIFETIME WARRANTY...

Happy Holidays,
Tom

This guy obviously knows nothing about being a technician. Find me one instance of an EPROM going bad. It doesn't happen. He wanted me to borrow the ecm from parts and if it worked he would send me a refund. If it didn't he wanted me to return it to parts. Nobody at any dealership in any state will take back an ecu that has been opened. He's calling me a liar. Then in an email he brings up my son, who I have never mentioned to him. What was the point of that?  

At one point he and I talked and I explained it maybe his e-prom but he says they can't test it so it has to be my computer is the problem.. Then after I told him to see if they will let him get their computer to test it on he says they won't do that even for him.. Well that's odd isn't he one of them?? OK here is a nice fact I just got off the phone with a Chevy dealership and he says they can't even order a corvette computer there are none available his computer is telling him.. But Manuel claims they have them... I guess thats a lie also... ((He also then claimed in a email dated Monday, October 31, 2011 11:56 AM here is what he sent me:: There's a guy here who has all the stuff to rewrite the EPROM's and he can test mine. I will let me you know what he says.)) He would later claim they couldn't test it. Meaning it was defective... And he can't send me a receipt that he got a computer because they don't have them anymore. Anyways all in all I offered him a nice deal and even a refund but he started calling me a scam artist and this and that. I think I am being scammed.. I'm not going to offer a credit or a refund this is a closed case he has my computer and I sold his it's a done deal. I wish him luck I'm done...

This guy is so full of crap. I never told him I was broke. He is the one who told me he would send me the refund at a later date because he "didn't have any cash flow". Then several weeks later after I kept calling him about the refund he said he would send me half of it, it monthly installments. Only after I signed a ridiculous confidentiality contract that says I could not "cry like a baby on the internet", as he so eloquently put it. But I'm the broke one according to him.

The only reason I ordered from him is because the part was on national back order from GM and there was no e.t. on when they would even begin to make them again. Had I known. I would be chasing this guy around for almost a year I would have just waited for the one from GM. In the time that I was trying to get at least a core back from him I got two in from GM. I had to send the first one back because I didn't have a core to return.  I like how keeps referring to himself as "we". Like he's some big corporation or something. Then he keeps insulting me and saying I'm crying like a baby. Maybe he should check with his HR division in his one man scam.

I'm pretty sure me and him are the only ones reading this, and in the rare case that someone actually is doing research before they buy with him, they will find all the other complaints about him and put two and two together. Which is more than I can say for him. I'm sure its just a coincidence, and he is just constantly getting scammed on. Not the other way around. It must be a conspiracy.

Oh and dude, mix in a spell check once in a while.

Well to start off Manuel seemed like a very nice guy and he seemed like he was in trouble so I offered him a really low price for a replacement unit for his corvette. He pretty much explained he was not sure what was wrong with this car. Looking back now I don't recall him telling me he was a mechanic or that he worked at the dealer ship... My real question is why did he come to me if he could have got this part from his dealership all along for the low price as he now claims. His story is he did not want his computer rebuilt he wanted a totally different unit back... So I did that and shipped him a rebuilt computer with the same part#s as his. To make a long story short I had not heard from him for a very long time and in that time I had rebuilt his and it was ordered by a guy in Japan. He paid $400 for the unit and a $200 core charge since he didn't want to ship me his core. He got Manuel computer and to this day has a great LIFETIME WARRANTY and I have never heard back from him. When I finally heard from Manuel he was asking me strange question as id he didn't understand what was going on. I had the feeling all along he didn't know what he was doing and I was hoping he would get a mechanic to work on his car that knew corvettes well. He finally contacted me and said he felt the problem was the computer in side this computer is a e-prom and we did not sell him a new one we just removed his e-prom and plugged it in to our unit and shipped it to him. So we were concerned this may have been a problem with the e-prom. He wanted to argue about this and he was sure it was not his e-prom... That's when he told me he was a certified mechanic and worked at a dealership. He claims they couldn't test the e-prom and it was a bad computer. We did have the computer for a very long period of time and we were trying to find a good replacement unit that wouldn't cost us to much so we could just ship him another. But parts for a corvette are highly sort after by many and they have a high price to them. We did find a few of them but the prices were way above what he was willing to pay or could afford. He claims he is a mechanic but he is broke and doesn't make hardly any money. Again another red flag. I was able to finally find a unit that was the right part #s and was at a cost that worked with his budget. He refused that idea and just wanted to buy this unit from his dealership all of a sudden. So I offered to just refund him the cost after expenses like shipping and a small cost of my time. I also wanted a standard release signed and that seemed to up set him. It said he wouldn't go around crying that we did not take care of him. But I don't think he was that upset with that as he would also have to show me the receipts of the diagnostics and purchase of a replacement unit. He also wanted to have the computer he claimed was not working to turn in as a core. To make a long story short he was offered a credit or a refund minus expenses and he rejected that. He would rather come here and cry so I guess this was worth more to him then the money he was offered to not go around crying. So lets recap a certified mechanic from a dealer ship would doesn't hardly make money refused a cash refund to instead cry on the internet. Shakes my head I sure don't get it.. I think I see why he is broke now... He needs to grow up and realize he was given a super break from day one and I helped him more then anyone else would have wasted their time to help a poor mechanic from a dealership who hardly makes money.
