Default Jon Havens

Had a really good experience with Jon repairing my tri-power center carb. The communication was great and turnaround time much quicker than I expected. When I got the carb back I just bolted it on and it fired right up. No adjustments at all--didn't even need to set the idle. I was having a surging problem and now it's gone.

Thanks Jon---your kind of service is hard to find. He was referred to me by Mike Wasson.

X2 for Jon. He restored my '66 tripower to factory new. Bolted it on and no problems. GREAT guy. I happen to live close to him so when I took my tripower to him, I got the tour of his basement, where he does all the work. Simply amazing!! Tripowers everywhere, very organized, this guy knows his SH#T. Works on all kinds, but mostly Pontiacs. Great service after the sale, too. Highly recommend him. Just my 2¢

I am totally disappointed with Havens! I do not recommend him.

He never told me that I would be responsible for paying the return shipping cost of his special wooden tri power crate. I paid for the return of the crate, though I respectfully expressed my displeasure with him for not being up front about it. Probably because I challenged him on that, he has offered minimal help (a one word answer) on the persistent center carb problem of my unit(which I immediately paid over $2,300.00 for). At the very initial start up of my new rebuilt engine and up until yesterday (a total of about 2 hours running time) the car has had great difficulty starting. He obviously gave me a faulty or inferior pump because yesterday I changed out the accelerator pump and now it works fine. BTW, I did not pump a dry carb causing the pump to fail.

A couple of other negatives about his service was in his lack of communication. He failed to find out some of my car's finer details which affected the tri power build. He did not install the air filters I requested and included the wrong thermostat.
