Your car builder rapes you...what would you do?

"What would you do? "

Get rid of all the new, technology-bound, gizmo-ladened vehicles and replace them with 60s & 70s REAL musclecars!

Of course, that's just my opinion.

Sad tale no doubt...best of luck with whatever way things go! .
How'd this group become become the "highly trusted and highly regarded engine builder/automotive shop" to begin with? .

In Fla., the Dept of Agriculture (don't laugh) is responsible for garage keepers proficiency, legalities and consumer complaints. They have an EXTREMELY solid program here. When they bite, it leaves huge marks in the garage owners ass, up to and including shutting them down immediately, without notice, for even one single case like this, I've personally seen them do it. Find the same agency in GA, and you'll be amazed at the results, if GA operates like Fla does. When I was the Past President of the Fla Automotive Industry Assoc., we were directly responsible for this legislation.

"What would you do?"

Id gather up all the paerwork I had. Any 'estimates' checks, statements. written approvals you gave him. And id make notes on as much as you can about the transaction. Any conversations, phone calls. Etcetera.

ID collect it all, and have it ready for a lawyer. Better Business Bureau, and Id talk to others in your city.

On a smaller scale my neighbour went through the same thing this summer. It was an engine though - from a 'top level' shop. They did nothing but jerk him around. When he finally rec'd it. before he could even use it - we discovered a massive crack in it.

He was able to get a very small amount of cash back from them. He decided against a lawyer b/c it wasnt worth it in his case...but it sounds like it would be in yours.
