Do no do business with him, he is a crook! We went to his garage to look at the carts on Saturday, they looked nice. We were told that we could have one delivered Monday. We put a $500 deposit down.
On Monday we were told that the cart would not be delivered for a few days. We said that we would just like our deposit back. Mark said no and we could take him to court because many have threatened him with court and he is not going to give us our deposit back.
He was very rude and nasty. He yelled and swore at us and said if we did not want the cart we lose our $500. We tried to stop payment on the check but were not able to. We felt we had no choice but to accept the cart.
When we eventually got the cart it backfired needed a new carburetor, had a bad clutch and rode terrible. The gas tank leaked from the poorly installed after market gas gauge.We could not get him to honor his warranty and had to hire someone reputable to repair the cart.
How he is allowed to continue to rip people off is a crime. You have been warned!

Small claims court is the peoples court-
Your post is a bit confusing. You say the guy that sold you the cart would not honor the warranty. You do not say what you paid for it or how old it was. If, the cart was old and inexpensive your bill of sale may say sold as is.
You say you hired someone honorable to do the repairs.
You should have an itemized bill to prove your point.
You say the person who sold you the cart refused to refund your money and said lots of people THREATEN to take him to court. Were it me, that is a dare. You will likely be one in a hundred who actually does it.
If, you decide to use small claims court be careful you sue the right entity. I doubt his business is MARK. You want to research his address. Often places are incorporated in another name other than the name on the bill. You have a phone number. Do a reverse look up and see what name comes up against that number.
