Beware of Jag Shop - PLEASE READ

["Tom Niemczewski" <tomcio@xxxx>]

Please read the following post. It might save you a lot trouble and money!

I want to warn everybody about the Jag Shop in Pompano Beach, Florida.
My DeLorean needed some repairs that were beyond of what I can do myself. I
wanted to take it to DMC Joe, but since Jag Shop was closer I made a BIG
mistake and I let David Wynne lay his hands on my car. He did what he was
asked for and I can't complain here - the work was done (almost) on time and
was done (almost) properly. The problem is that they did more that they were
suppose to do.
While I was there I spoke to David. I told him about all the work I did
myself, I told him how much I spent to restore the car and I told him about
what parts I replaced. He seemed like a nice guy. Everything was fine until
I got the car home and got it back on the road. I didn't drive the car home,
it was brought in on a flatbed truck. Since the car was out of gas (I
drained all the gas before the car was shipped to the Jag Shop) I got a gas
can and I put some 4 gallons in the car so I could make it to the gas
station. When I filled the car all the way up at the gas station I noticed I
had a SERIOUS leak from the tank. I had the car towed home and this is when
I realised what the Jag Shop did.
I took the fuel pump access cover off and noticed that the support boot was
just laying there and the big clamp that holds it in place was missing. I
drained all the gas and pulled evething out from the tank. It turns out that
while at the Jag Shop they replaced EVERY part of the fuel system with some
old used parts... and they didn't even care to put everything back
together... they just threw all the parts in the tank. The parts they took
amount to over $500. I guess that when I told David that all those parts
were new, he thought that my car was a good source of new parts. And since I
told him that I will be going to Europe soon he knew that he could get away
with stealing parts. I send a letter to David expaining what happed and few
days later I got a phone call from them. Someone claiming to be a manager
told me.... hmmm.... let's just say that this was not the kind of reaction I
was expecting and he was VERY RUDE. He said that he will sue me for $50.000
and that he will "slam-bang me" and that I will loose the car - the guy had
a very distinct british accent. There were few names that he called me as
well.
All in all I lost a lot of money because of them. I had to replace all those
parts again. Over $500 in parts, plus labor, plus towing, plus my car was
not drivable again for over two weeks. I wanted to sue the Jag Shop, but I
can't because I'm leaving for Europe soon. I was told that it will take
around 3 - 4 months. I just don't have that much time!
So, they got away with stealing over $500 worth of parts for my car
You might ask how do I know that it was them who stole the parts. I have a
very simple answer: I did all the repairs on my D, I installed all those
parts myself and nobody had even touched the car except for me. I have all
the receipts to prove that I bought those parts, I have witnesses that were
here when I installed those parts. I'm 100% sure that Jag Shop stole my
parts because nobody else had access to the car.

Also they sent me a letter saing that if I tell anyone about what happend
they will sue me and I will loose the car!

Dear fellow DeLorean owners! Please stay away from the Jag Shop in Pompano
Beach Florida!!!!!

I'm sorry about the tone and lenght of this post, but I felt that people
should know about dishonest repair shops. They were very nice to me until
they got the money. After they got the money.... well.... I would NEVER
expect anything like that.

Take care everyone,
