Re: [DML] :list of missing parts: Re: Parts missing/removed from my car at Jag Shop

You should be nominated for sainthood! 2 1/2 years? Are you kidding? Seems
to me he was using your D as his personal parts car. If what you are saying
about this shop is true, I'd be looking to get his head on a stick. His
Florida Better Business Bureau report says he has ignored numerous inquiries
to customer complaints. Forget about slander and libel suits from this guy.
They're idle threats.(not to mention very expensive to bring to court) The
last place the Jag Shop wants to be is in court. Trust me on this. Stop
addressing the matter in a public forum like the DML and get some proper
legal advice from competent counsel. I'm sure the owner of the Jag Shop
reads the DML (or at least he knows someone that does) and you are providing
him with the valuable information he will use against you. Remember the two
most important rules: Rule number one: Knowledge is Power.... The details
you provide on the DML will allow him to carefully formulate a defense
against you regardless of the truth. It's his word against yours.
Unfortunately you're allowing him the advantage of hearing your side first
so he can create a believable response in court. Rule number two: The Best
Word is the One Left Unsaid.... Never, EVER let the other guy know what your
thinking or planning. If you are going to take action against this guy, stop
talking about it and do it. If your information is accurate, this man has
done you a serious injustice and you should pursue the matter through legal
channels. Share the information with the DML only after the matter has been
adjudicated in a court of law. Believe what I am saying. I have been through
this before. Good luck.

at Jag Shop


> The car was in perfect mechanical condition when it was taken to the
Jagshop. The car was there for body work. I have photographs and video
footage of the car at the accident scene and after. Lets not forget the
people who looked over the car at the repair facility and body shop. These
people know what the condition was as the car was towed to the Jagshop from
the body shop. The ONLY reason it went to the Jagshop was the promise of a
lower repair cost becasue Dave had spare cars to take body parts from.
>
> It took two and a half years and the Jagshop did not do any work to the
car. I decided to pick it up and take it to another place. It was raining
when I picked it up so I did not inspect the car till I arrived at the shop.
I was shocked at what was missing. I called David at the Jagshop and he was
as nice and friendly as always. Dave told me he must have forgotten to give
me the parts and he had them in a storage truck. I said fine. He told me
the car was not worth fixing and I should use it as a parts car. ( I cant
even do that as someone took all the parts out of the car! ) I said I would
still rather fix it. I spent the last 7 months attempting to get the parts
till David finally told me he had thrown away all the parts and just said
tuff luck. He said he will not give me a thing and he will charge me 4
years of storage (car was there 2.5 years) if I tried anything and hung up
on me. I have not been able to get in contact with him and when I do he
just hangs up

not want to damage his business. This is after all how he lives. But I
cannot allow this to slide by. This has and may happen to other people.
Just take a look at what is missing from the car:
