resto gone bad!

Were not talkin resto.... its just body and paint. I do have a contract and the only reason i paid before work was complete is because they kept coming to me saying we don't have enough to pay rent, or the job we were waiting on fell through etc. They played my heart strings and yes i gave in ( I figured " well if they close than my trucks not going to get finished" so i better pay up! ) its basic robbery without putting a gun to my head. Im not trying to give any good body shops a bad name im just making you guys ( my buddies ) aware!
My contract is very good and at best i will have a judgement, whoop tee do! what? A whopping $50.00 per month " **** IM RICH! " Not trying to ruffle feathers just trying to vent guys. still gotta finish it! You can either laugh or cry

Re: resto gone bad!

You never EVER pay for something first before the work is done. You have no recourse. You probably wont see a dime, even if you get a judgement. Only thing you pay first with is fast food. ahaha...

Good luckk, and beautiful truck.

Re: resto gone bad!

Sorry to hear about the situation you are dealing with. Best of luck on recourse, but as mentioned previously, the did a nice job on what they were able to accomplish.
