[It think the names of those that take advantage should be published in this forum for others to see. That could help lead to a little more honesty by service vendors.]
The car club I am in has a tab for recommended vendors. Perhaps the talk host might be interested in doing something like this for TOTV. What we do is post our good experiences with a breif description of what was done and we post the name of the company or person's name on our site.
We use to post the bad one also but it became an issue with people trying to resolve the issues with the vendor on the forum. I do not recommend the later. This would be a good thing for all of the forum users as it has really helped us in our club. It lets the person that had a good experience advertise if he feels it is warranted and help others avoid the same pitfalls that others may have experienced, and it also rewards the contractors that are honest and that treat the villagers well with more work. If the host is interested in something like this I can supply my car club link to see how this works.
In 6 days we will close on our house in Duval
