Try posting this on the northern California section of the forum. You might get more responses!

Just to clarify & help you out (maybe) how does a shop get paid in advance for work not done?



I have paid for work that was done poorly or wrong but never for work not done.

Although Ted has not done any work for me, he has been around since the late 90's. Well known in the Viper world. I would post on the viper forum. I am sure someone will be able to add some detail about him and/or the shop.

Hope all works out.

Thanks all, there was some insurance work, he cashed the check for his shop and a paint shop and sent the car back to me with work still not done, dating back to October last year.

I get it. I would stay on this and not let too much time go by. Auto repair shops are regulated by the state, you might call the state board and see what avenue they have.
