Has anyone heard anything good or bad about this seller or the quality of his floor mats? I am interested in buying a set, but am worried about the lead time (4-6 weeks).

You can't go wrong. John's floormats are great quality and detail that the most discriminating restorer is proud to display in his car.

Buy from John with confidence.

I bought one of his sets back in '99, they were great quality. Probably even better now.

PostPosted: Sat Sep 30, 2006 10:17 am    Post subject: Ghia Mats from John Lemke Reply with quote

Just wanted to update everyone on my previous post:

[i]Hi Eveyone,

I just wanted to touch base with anyone who has ordered the Ghia mats from John Lemke in the last three months or so. Has anyone out there received an order from John lately?

I ordered and paid for mine on June 10th. The delivery time is supposed to be 4 to 6 weeks. After a few months I emailed several times - no response and I called him about 3 or 4 weeks ago - he was very sincerely apologetic and said he was behind and my mats would be the first ones he would send out. As of today (Sept 24th) still no response - I have left emails and voice messages.

I have heard nothing but good things about John and the mats and I am really hoping this is just an unusual case. I really want the mats and there is no comparison to any other product out there - his are the best.

Anyway - I just wanted some feedback from anyone else who has dealt with him recently - I hope to receive the mats soon.


This ended up just being a shipping problem that was resolved. I received the mats today and I must say I am very impressed with the quality.

Thanks John - keep up the good work!

I'm in the same boat. I have sent numerous emails and have called. I have yet to receive a reply. Im pissed! Its been two months and you think you would get some common courtesy with atleast an email. He might have a great product, but currently lacking in business sense.

John seems to be MIA. There's a post in the Ghia forum asking about him.

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197272

I met John and hung out with him at the VW Classic. He's an honest guy and something must of come up in his personal life to cause him to drop out of site.

For those who have sent him money, i'm sure he'll resolve all issues when he returns. For those looking to purchase his mats, check back to this and the other topic for his return.

I just received a phone call from his book keeper. She stated that John has been overloaded at his regular job and working six days a week. He only works on the mats on the weekends. This is why he hasnt returned calls and he supposedly trying to get back on top of things.

Im exactly in the same boat, ordered and paid for my mats in July, despite numerous e-mails, phone calls and messages left still no mats, to be frank if you're in any kind of business customers come first, it costs nothing to be courteous and reply to an e-mail, even if there is a problem it would be nice to know whats going on, I know the whole VW scene can be a pretty laid back affair but business is business and paying customers pay the bills!!!!

I have to apologize; I have been overwhelmed by the number of orders that I have received.

The orders will go out, or I can refund.

It takes awhile to make parts from scratch.

Anyone can call me. My phone number is on my site: johnlemke.com

How long did you have to wait? I have been waiting for a while now(over three months). I emailed him again today, well see.

I received mine in about three months. They are great quality. He does them in his spare time and does have a full time job. I was getting quite frustrated there for awhile. They will come and you'll be happy.

I really do not mind the wait, but when I am told that It will take 4 weeks to make them and that goes by and I have nothing AND I can not get a hold of the guy that is what pisses me off. I know that they are nice mats that is why I bought them. I would just like to hear from him. I guess my next move is to start calling Lemke, and to let Everett know.

By now you know its going to take a while. And no one here has been scammed by Lemke...

So what's with the threats? Lemke himself posted several replies ago that anyone is welcome to call him - his number posted on his site. He also stated he will refund money. Did you call him yet or are you still being to cheap to pay for the phone call? Shit, I will paypal you money to buy a phone card if it will make you shut up - between here and the ghia forum you have beat this to death. Call and ask for a refund already! And whats with the Everett comment? Are you going to tell him you don't have command over operating a telephone?

Not everyone uses email - sometime you have to do things the old fashioned way...

I have done everthing through the samba or email and would rather keep it that way. I do not think it is out of line for me to post about a gripe that I have with some one selling something on here. Again I paid August 19 and have emailed a few times with no reply.



And as for no one here getting scammed by lemke.There is a first time for everything. I hope not I met him at the last classic and he seemed like a alright guy and I do not think those are his intentions. He just may be in over his head or family/ life issues I do not know. I am just looking for a reply.
