My story is, I dropped my car off with a local body repair guy that I know fairly well. He works out of his home and works on several other vehicles besides my own. He is independent and although this is his main income, he doesn't do this out of a dedicated shop but out of his personal garage. He is very affordable and produces good quality which is why I choose him… except this time I believe I am paying for my choice to be cheap…
He needed a knee surgery and ended up suspending work on all vehicles on his lot for several weeks, including mine. He keeps giving dates but they keep getting pushed up for miscellaneous reasons. At first he was disabled due to his surgery, then afterward his compressor failed on him, then after that he started working on other vehicles, and after that record high temperatures severely reduced the time he could do paint work on the car… which is believable…but he always gives me dates then pushes them up when the date comes… and this has been going on for a long time… I would have taken it back a long time ago but the problem is there aren't any other shops with availability or aren't doing anything other than insurance claims around me.
Im alittle worried this guy may be trying to hold on to my car to claim it as abandoned. Does this sound possible?
