I tried to PM Nick in regards to paying a visit to the shop. I have not heard back from him.

In regards to dealing with the shop's attorney - he is just as much of an a**hole as the owner is. I finally got him on the phone today and he said the shop owner did not agree to any of my terms.

He said the owner refuses to warranty any work that he does. I told him the Il. state law affords me rights as a consumer. He said dont worry about it then - let the state keep you covered. But at the same time they think I am stupid and want me to sign a waiver upon pickup (if it ever happens) that the owner is not giving a warranty on his work and all work is as-is.

Additionally - he said the owner does not agree with the time frames I have set. I asked him what the problem is and what time frames is the shop looking for. He put me on hold and said he needed to check - he came back on the line and said he will have to call me back. After reminding him that he never called me back last time he said there is nothing he can do. I asked him when I could expect a call back and he said after next weds. When I told him I dont appreciate him playing games with me just like the shop owner does he said it is not a game and that he is going on vacation. I told him this is not acceptable and he simply stated lifes rough and hung up on me.

With this being said it is time for me to push this issue. I need to immediately get someone to go there to pickup whatever is done and to press the issue on my other car or my money. I will gladly cover any expenses that are incurred and deeply appreciate that all of you are willing to help a stranger.
