I just bought a great running little 1987 Toyota Corolla from a friend of mine for $100.00, the only thing needed was the clutch needed to be fixed. So, I took it down to a local shop and asked the guy TWICE to give me an ESTIMATE on how much the job would cost and to CALL ME before he did any work so that I would make sure that I was able to pay for it. Well, he went behind my back and fixed the clutch anyways, and now he holds my car hostage for $631.
I went to the Sheriff's Department and talked to the Magistrate seeing how this involves fraudulent practices, and by golly, they said that it is a small claims court matter!! Lazy --deleted--s.
What this guy did was downright sneaky and fraudulent on his part and I have a really good presence of mind to have the car towed off the lot. He did work without any authorization, and I have found out by talking to my dad and other people in town that this guy does this alot. Apparently this is a constant game he is running on everyone.
I really need the car back because I need transportation and I could have had that car fixed for alot cheaper.
Any legal consequences if I went and towed my own car off the lot?
I really hate it when con artists get away with this stuff.
Anyone with any advice or input?
