Re: Jag Shop controversey

["stitsien" <stitsien@xxxx>]

John, people have lives and sometimes cars have to be put on the back 
burner. He needed the car repaired; they promised to do it via 
salvaging parts from other cars. To further the issue they dawdled 
and he decided to eventually take it to another shop. Hindsight is 
always 20/20 and you shouldn't judge his actions because you weren't 
there and just like me don't know all the facts. Further more while 
on the subject lets not play the legal game as I doubt you're a 
lawyer and I most certainly am not qualified to make legal decisions 
or discuss strategy in the court room.


The only certainly from this is you'll never seeing my car being 
worked on at the garage in question. This is not some nebulas issue 
regardless of where fault lies. Someone on the DML has stated a shop 
provided poor service and dealt with his concerns in an 
unprofessional manor which in and of itself removes them from my list 
of potential repair facilities if an issue arises and to that I 
believe we're both in agreement.

was wrong for the jag shop to use your vehicle as a spare parts bin 
just because it was there.It is not unheard of for this to happen to 
any vehicle left for long priods of time and no storage fees are 
paid.Basically the facility has a lean against your car for it being 
stored there so long that it was considered abandoned.I doubt that 
they went through the proper legal motions to make it alright 
though.There is a set amount of time before a vehicle can be 
considered abandoned it is in some cases less than a month .I am sure 
the jag shop has a set rate for storage of a car probably in the 
range of $50.00 a day if they feel like being mean.They will argue in 
court that they simply were trying to get some of what you owed them 
out of the vehicle.Even if that arguement doesnt fly how will you 
explain never checking on the situation until now? The judge

as just another car thus your award (if any) will be small and not 
worth the trouble.Just stay away from the jag shop and warn others.
