I wouldn't be afraid of him telling you he would sue you for slander. The best defense against that is the truth. If in fact you call a thief a thief that is not slander, that is just a statement of fact. Of course you may have to prove it. Finding others that had similar problems will help show a pattern of behavior. I am sure you will be properly advised by competant counsel. Have your lawyer send him a nice letter stating your position and willingness to pursue the issue, then let him sue the lawyer! He is just bluffing hoping to get rid of you easily. A call to the Better Business Bereau may help you find more "satisfied" customers. In New Jersey all shops are licensed. Maybe contacting the agency that does that in the State they operate in can get you more of the history of that shop. They may also intercede on your behalf and help to settle it without going to court. Court is expensive and doesn't always end in a satisfatory way. Besides, if his license to do business is at risk he may be a whole lot more cooperative.

I have attempted to contact the Jagshop to see if matters could be settled in an adult manor, but I was insulted and hung up on twice. I was also told that I was going to be sued for slander if I attempted to pursue this. I find this comical for someone to threaten to sue for slander when everything said was true. rate a repair shop. > > > > Albert Siegel
