Wow, I don't know what I'd do if this happened....
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1924211
Oh man, there'd be some SERIOUS hell to pay. The first few pages tell the details. For the shop owner to throw up his hands and pretty much not make the situation right is crappy. |
Oh yeah, Josh, don't think about joy riding in the vette after you do some work to it :lol:
|
I seen that over on ne3g. Thats as bad as the burn out guy from awhile ago.
|
That is total BS. I really feel sorry for that guy.
|
:shock: i'm now afraid of where i left my car...
i know the guys that work in the shop, but if something was to happen to it i feel like i'd get left out in the cold like this guy...:-? but then again, i know none of them would borrow it for the weekend |
if that was me i'd goto jail for murder

This is everywhere. The shop is about 5 minutes from my parents house (where I lived a year ago) .. This is hardly the first issue this shop has had. Another shop, the place I got my work done at, actually offers discounted dyno tunes for those who have had CAM tune hackjobs. Its unbelievable with how many bad things have come out of CAM people still go.. this may be the last straw, though.
|
That is SOOOOO f'd up! :shock:
|
that was the craziest story i ever read. i really want to see how this turns out. that guy who owns the shop....sucks.

that sucks

While the situation does certainly suck, the shop owner offered her ~$40,000 in settlement money, and offered to remove from the wrecked car any mods that weren't damaged, and reinstall them free of charge on another car that she purchased with the settlement money. And he also said that any mods that were damaged he would repair or replace as well.
He certainly never should have let the employee drive the car in the first place, but that sounds like a pretty fair offer to me. - Justin |

For those that don't recognize the name Jeff Creech, he's the guy that did all/most of the work on the infamous red T/A for the first big import vs domestic Pinks episode. You know, the one with the red Civic that got 20 car lengths? :lol: - Justin |

i don't like how that shop owner handled it. he is in no position to be making demands. he should be protecting his business and offering to meet her every demand. because he didn't, he will still have to pay and now is reputation is ruined. what a moron

That is a messed up story, but you know what, its a normal thing done at many shops, not all, but many. My mom had her car taken to Admiral Nissan for something stupid done to it, and when she got it back, the tank was empty, mind you she had a full tank. Now this was a good 10 years ago, but still, it was somethign minor to be fixed, and they went driving around town in it, AND they didnt fill the tank back up!!. If I found out someone went joyriding in my car without me knowing when it would be getting work done on it, I would burn them at the stake, and then make them refund me money and fill my tank up, and if they crashed my car, man I hope they know a good cardboard box to live in, cause Id sue them so badly, they wouldnt have two pennies to rub together!!
|
I would sue the crap out of him, and the mechanic for gross neglegance:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evi l::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil: I would have a brand new car with the mods NEW.
|
So basically an employee totaled the car, insurance is only paying out 40k, and the guy is trying to scam her into accepting the insurance payout, not suing, having her sign the car over to him, he takes out the "mods", installs them on a new car that she has to pay for, and he get to make money parting whats left of the car out. Amazing. Scum bag til the end.
|
Josh called me to ask if he could drive my car home to make sure everything was ok.... i didnt care but it was still cool that he called and asked.
