Tara's Body Shop Burnt Down! One Day After Man Accuses Her Place of Messing Up His Car!...

A Kentucky football player looking to pimp his ride is
now looking for a refund after he says his car was lifted and left
virtually un-drivable. That player contacted WHAS11’s Andy Treinen and
Andy answered for this week’s Consumer Watch.

They’re all the rage with many young drivers these days; chrome rims, lifted suspensions, and tricked-out rides.

Black Widow Customs on Preston Highway has been customizing cars in
Louisville, since a grand opening in 2008 was declared Black Widow Day.
The business is owned by professional wrestler, Lisa Marie Varon, and
her husband Lee.

Their star-power and a creative promotional campaign is what
attracted Kentucky football player Antwane Glenn to the business. He
claims the company botched his lift. “As soon as I turned onto Preston
Highway, I made that right and I knew something was wrong with it
because it was scrubbing,” explained Glenn; by scrubbing Glenn means the
tire hits the fender well when it turns.

Louisville, Ky. (WHAS11) – Firefighters and arson investigators are on the scene of a business fire on Preston Highway.

The business – Black Widow Customs – was the subject of a Consumer Watch investigation on WHAS11 Wednesday.

The fire is out right now but firefighters say the fire is suspicious.

An employee says when he got to the business Thursday morning, the
shop had been broken into and vandalized and that there were several
small fires on the ground near a car inside the shop.
He says he couldn’t put the fires out and that they spread quickly, destroying the whole inside of the store.

Investigators say they are looking into the fact that Black Widow Customs was featured in a WHAS11 Consumer Watch.

There were no injuries in the fire.

Some of the other businesses suffered smoke damage.
The fire is being treated as ‘suspicious’ by officials, with arson
experts on the scene. Black Widow Customs was featured on WHAS11 news’
‘consumer watch’ portion just yesterday with a customer claiming that
the business had ripped them off.

Thanks to WPN for the heads up.

I just want to reach out to everyone who has expressed
their concern over the fire at Black Widow Customs. First, thanks so
much! The most important thing is that no one was hurt. Also, our window
tinter Justin walked in on the fire. He acted heroically by first
warning the neighbors, then attempting to put it out himself, and
assisting the fireman as they scrambled to the scene. And for those who
weren’t aware, there was an ice storm the previous night, and the roads
were covered in sheets of ice, but the fire department arrived very
quickly and kept it from being a VERY bad situation. So much thanks to
them as well. The damage looks a lot worse than it is. The weeks leading
up to Christmas are obviously a very busy time of the year for any
retailer, and BWC will reopen ASAP. It may be as soon as Monday,
although we’ll know better later today.

A local news station has also focused on an unhappy customer
recently. I know the guys at BWC work hard and and take pride in what
they do. I’m confident that they did the right thing, and anyone who
knows me knows that I believe that the best defense is a good offense.
You’ll be hearing more on this once BWC takes action.

More importantly right now, BWC has some hard working, dedicated
employees that are suddenly out of work ten days before Christmas
through no fault of their own. I will personally make sure that their
hard work is rewarded, and that they have a happy holiday season.

And finally, yesterday morning I was having some tumors
cut out of my breast. I have had them before, and they always turn out
to be nothing. But they have to be checked. They had always been tiny
little biopsies. Unfortunately, this time I had to be completely put
out. When I came to in recovery, I was pretty groggy. I was going
through my phone, and I got a text from former WWE Superstar Domino. He
asked ‘are you okay?’. So I replied, ‘yes’. Then he said,’Good. Saw the
news and was wondering’. And I was thinking, how is it on the news that
I’m getting my boob cut on? Obviously, he was talking about the fire,
which I didn’t know about yet…

Anyway, thanks for your support, but I am fine. I am actually better
than fine. Although it’s appreciated, show your concern for those who
need it. This holiday season I’m counting my blessings, and I hope you
are too.
