I'm with the others pharmboy, with one exception. Instead of letting him call the price for all the hassle he has caused you, go in there when it's moveable and tell him how much YOU are going to give HIM for the crappy way he has treated you, for all the time lost and trouble involved, and for the crappy job he is obviously doing. Assess the situation and come up with a figure that you are happy with. Keep a level head and explain all the frustration you have been voicing to us about the situation, and throw the Better Business Bureau at him while you are at it. If he is a legitamate business he will not want to receive the brunt end of the bad publicity he will receive from the BBB, your word of mouth and the wrath of your friends here at FABO. If he is not a legit business, he has no leg to stand on and will not be able to hold your car, as he should not be working on it anyway. And while you're at it include his business name and contact information for your friends here at FABO to use. I for one will personally call him and ask about having something similar done to my car, then lambaste him with the facts of your situation. If he gets a couple dozen calls like this, he will know where he stands and what your word of mouth advertizing is going to do to his business. 14 weeks and still no car, Geez, I read this post last month and was disgusted then that it was taking so long way back then!!! I'll speak for myself, I'm behind you and willing to help, even from Michigan!!! Geof
