Anyone in Woodstock, Il. Area? - Page 5

My proposal to thier attorney was to have my car inspected and returned to me. As to the convertible, I told them I prefer a full refund or if this is not an option that I expect the car to be completed and available for inspection within 2 weeks of the initial Oct. 10th inspection. I am waiting to hear word from the attorney. If he does not contact me back or they are not accepting of these terms then at that time I will be more aggressive about protecting my position.

Appears as though this shop's attorney is not going to call me back. I was supposed to receive a call this week from them confirming the shop owners response to my demands but neither of them has responded to my requests.

Being that I dont have the title for the car I purchased from them this creates an issue as far as confiscating that car. My coupe I can probably take but the convertible will not be as easy.

Sounds to me like it is time to send a few very intimidating guys there to let them know I am not rolling over and letting them screw me.

Well, I would talk to your lawyer first. If you have paperwork proving that you paid for the convertible you should be able to either get your money back or get the car.

It should be somewhat easy to have someone go and get the other car with title and documentation in hand with the help of some members and the local PD.

You could also contact Jon Draneas thorugh Sports Car Market magazine. He is an expert in automotive legal matters.

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.

It is a$$holes like this guy and his attorney that give us reputable restoration shops and attorneys bad names. An attorney should not be allowed to get away with treating someone like that. If you get your own I would go for the jugular! I understand he does not represent you but he should at least act within the law and treat you fairly. Maybe he is acting within the law but what an a$$!

Yep!!!......I agree with Rick........Lawyers think they are above the Law (except for NJSteve) and use Intimidation as their most Powerful weapon because most people are afraid of them....99% of the Lawyers make the other 1% look bad.......This guy sounds like he's in the 99% group (unlike NJSteve who is in the "Good" 1%)

I agree that it is totally unprofessional to think that they can handle someone like this. It would seem that the team of the shop owner and the attorney work well together using the same business ethics.

With this being said, I would like any help I can get in getting someone to the shop to recover what I can.
