 We sent a $7,240.00 deposit for a glass handling machine in July 2012 and have been fighting to get our money back for over a year.

Complaint is currently active with the NY attorney Generals office and the BBB of upstate NY.

This company also is marketing to RV glass installers and a myriad of other companys. They have multiple websites for different glass handling equipment but always the same phone # and contact person. Bob Mirel. I have a family memeber that lives in Glen Falls NY and is about 10 minutes away from mirels location. He went by in June of this year and the warehouse was not active. I found that Mirel was using his home address for the business address so My brother in law who is an accountant went to his house and Mirel was startled to see someone just show up. He told my Brother in law he will contact us and take care of it. He never did. His house is appraised at approximately $650,000.00

He has told the attorney generals office and the BBB back in August that he would make monthly reimbursment payments starting October 15. Of course he never did and now we have re-opened the complaint with both offices.

I read the recent complaint by Tomahawk Glass and realize this needs to be stopped before more companys get taken in by the false front of Bob Mirel and Arlington Equipment.

If anyone else has a similar story feel free to contact me at (((REDACTED)))

Bob Mirel is a THIEF

AUTHOR: Construction Professional - ()

POSTED: Monday, February 09, 2015

If Bob's statements are true, then he should be able to provide the equipment and/or return the depost.  Bob is a con artist. It's that simple.  He claims to have made hundreds of machines yet is unable to fill an order or repay a deposit for an order that was never filled.  What a joke, this guy has stolen tens of thousands of dollars from honest business people and is still walking the streets? He should be behind bars.

All true

I am an ex-employee of Arlington Equipment. All the accusations against this company are all true. Bob mirel is a scam and will steal your money. You can definitly expect your machine to be late that is if he manages to complete your machine.

Along with the entire production shop being fired in April of last year he also fired the man who engineered all this equipment.  Whom I believe has continued making machines under a new name.

Jim,

I just wanted to share that I as well am a victim of this mans scams. I gave a deposit of $12,000.00 for a piece of equipment at which was never produced. I requested a refund and never recieved. I have spent the last 6 years chasing this guy. I have spent over $5,000 in Lawyers fees because I sued him, and won. I have a judgment against him but I still have not been able to collect. He has been on a payment plan for 4 years now and has never sent me one penny. This guy is the lowest of low. I would love to help you catch this guy! feel free to email me for more information @ (((redacted)))

Sincerely,

Jessica S****

Arlington Equipment, the Leading Supplier of Powered Glass Positioners in North America

AUTHOR: Arlington Equipment Corp - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, December 11, 2013

Arlington Equipment is the leading supplier of powered glass positioners in North America. Since 2008, Arlington has delivered nearly two hundred machines and can provide references from customers worlwide.

Arlington maintains a manufacturing facility in Queensbury, NY and is in the process of expanding to a second, larger facility.

Mr. McLane ordered a new machine model which we were unable to complete due to design issues. We recognized the hardship that this delayed delivery created for him and offered to fund a loaner supplied by another contractor in his area. He refused this offer. We offered in good faith to provide a replacement for the model he ordered without additional charges over and above his original down payment. He again refused our offer and we agreed to return his down payment. We intend to refund Mr. McLanes' down payment during 1st quarter 2014.

Mr. McLanes' allegations are erratic and substantially untrue.
