Ok so my situation is, my jeeps motor had an issue of the timing chain guides broke and clogged my oil passages, and I had a wheeling buddy that works where I work recommend a guy that has a shop, I trusted him ( # 1 mistake ) and 3 weeks ago the guy came to tow my jeep, we talked for an hour about what all he was going going todo, he towed my jeep to his shop and things have been complete crap since. Iv had no kind of update about the progress of the repair, ever time is ask him how soon it'll be done its idk. What are my options? My other co worked want me to go to the law and report theft by deception, my situation is I'm moving in 9 days and need my jeep bad! Please if anyone has advice please help me.

I know paying $200.00 for probably nothing besides for a tow sucks at this time of year, and you're moving to boot. However it's a relatively cheap lesson learned, and could've be worse. I saw one guy put the throttle down on a car until it blew up because a customer didn't do what he wanted, and some other things. Take a good look around the truck in, and out for any damage done. I'm sorry to be so negative, but this guy doesn't seem to be the cooperative type. Notify the mechanic this vehicle is taken to when this motor comes apart I'd look for the pieces of timing parts, and anything else that may have been put in there. He probably knows the other guy, and might have an idea if he's the type to do something like this. I wish I was close by I'd help you out personally I hate when people in my field make us all look bad. I hope this turns out ok, the move goes smoothly, and you enjoy the rest of your holiday season.

Yeah he's a lowlife thank god that's not my truck I might've ended up in the Police car.
If I had know he did that and wasn't at work he'd of gotten an ear full that's for sure! I'm certain he put that stuff on my leather to be a jerk! That's the only explanation to that, ill have the last laugh in court tho. I'm going to hang him by his balls!

Years ago I'd have whooped him, but I try to stay out of trouble nowadays take the lesson. Unless you see him in the mall with an armful of packakges, and you get a nice free shot LOL.
I just made up a new song
"His Nuts Roasting on an open fire":devil:
"He's lucky the law got him before I did":club:
Ok that's all I got :thumbsup:

Haha. Reminds me on a time I had my carrier installed in my grand national 8.5". Dude put my shinny black powder coated rear on 2 jack stands with no rags or towels in between. Scratched it to hell which is amazing because I've dropped tools and nicked the powder coat many times with tools and have yet to scratch it. I have OCD - lost my **** and had the entire thing redone. Some people are just scum bags.

Lol very much so! So do you guys think I'd be justified taking him to court? Or should I just take it as a tough lesson learned?
Honestly, it'll cost too much time and money to make it really worth taking the jerk to court. Lesson learned I'd say!

good lord did he really put the battery in the back seat on the carpet ?

Small claims court doesn't cost anything here in SC I think.
Yes he did, idk how but they found water in my #2 cylinder could he of done that power washing? Also found out my issue was a dropped valve so ******* driving my jeep down the driveway and onto his trailer made matters worse I'm sure.
