Car Repairs Gone Bad: When a Shop Refuses To Pay Part Duex

in Legal


It’s been about a week since I posted about our car woes. Here’s an update of what’s been going on.10145-w185.jpg

Better Business Bureau contacted us and informed us that they were investigating this and they need some more paperwork. I’m sending some more today as I now have some really g10145-w185.jpg10145-w185.jpgood pictures of the damage to the car.

I went to my local news station and gave them the paperwork that I had acquired. They were very nice and were pleasantly surprised that I had organized everything.

My reasoning was that they are busy and probably hear stories like mine all the time. If I did some of the legwork for them then maybe our story would stand out. I now send them updates (pictures, notes, contact information, etc) as soon as I can get them sent out.

Someone from the shop’s insurance company called and she said she was sending an adjuster to assess the damage.  Before we got it towed, we took some more pictures and it’s sad to see that there is still a lot of water inside the car. The car smells horrible and now I think there’s some mold growing. I really hope this gets resolved soon, because sharing the car is really inconvenient.

Anymore major updates, I’ll post up as soon as I can. Update: We won our court case
