How do you know the Chi Guy even has your car any more? If it's only 250 miles, get some other car, even a rental, drive it to the Chi garage, and apply a suitable tool in demanding the return of your car, or the parts that used to be your car, or even your paperwork. Then, find the former mayor of Chicago - a lawyer, after all - to help you. I hear he needs money badly. Charlie LA, CA, USA Spider, GTV 6 In a message dated 8/26/2010 1:09:44 P.M.

Hi ! i had my 164 trailered to Chicago (~250 miles) to get the timing belt and cam angle sensor replaced by someone who knows what he's doing, & while there the clutch & windshield. That was JANUARY ! i call him occasionally and he always says it will be done in the next week or two. Anyone have any experience or ideas about how to get the guy to get my car done ?? thanks, jak doskow ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:07:30 -0700 (PDT) From: ira kaufman <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [alfa] How can i get my car back ?? sounds like a really bad bussines man.as is i wouldnt be put off by the fact that he may refuse to do your work.if you feel that way he could push the work off forever.he may have your car but he's not upholding a minimum of service.sounds like a prima donna.i would look into alternative mechanical service.sometimes places that deal with volvos or saabs are not afraid to tackle alfas also.find a place that agrees to do it and then you could threaten to remove your car and after its removed if it comes to that hit him with a small claims suit for the towing and a bit more.don't tell him about the lawsuit till the car is in your posession.what was the problem with the car anyway.till i retired i had a garage for years in ny and i found more then 95% of the other garages we dealt with to be honest.this putting off thing is crazy stuff.its negligent.of course i can't judge being i don't know what you agreed with him before the towing of your car to him. - --- On Thu, 8/26/10, doskow, j <[email protected]> wrote: From: doskow, j <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [alfa] How can i get my car back ?? To: "ira kaufman" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, August 26, 2010, 3:09 PM Thanks, good idea, before actually asking any of my lawyer friends i could mention that i'm thinking about it. One of the problems is that telling him how annoyed i am getting about the situation will probably make it even less likely that he'l have any interest in finnishing the project, though last week i said that i wanted a real estimate of the time - tired of the next week crap, & how much it's costing. haven't heard back. jack ------------------------------ End of alfa-digest V10 #2327 **************************** -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
