Did you atleast sign an electronic repair order? Agree to prices via email? Text?

Correct I never paid any Money because our agreement was to pay monthly with the invoices they were suppose to supply. No money was put down. I did not sign an electronic repair order either. No agreeiment was put into an email or text. That is what I was asking for after we meet and nothing was forthcoming.

Vince sorry my my post was confusing It even confused me when i reread it. I had the money up front, just wanted invoices monthly so I could monitor the spending.

ok, got ya now. f this guy and shop around for another.

if he is raising prices over what was originally discussed without contacting you then you have no legal right to pay.....however if you didn't sign or agree to it in some tangible form then you maybe sol. In CA verbal agreements do stand up.

41 hours. It sounds like you paid to have someone learn stainless and buy the equipment needed to do it.

That is what I thought to Vince about the brake line. @ 85.00 an hour and 700.00 in material 40 hours seems a bit much ��. The kicker is that the main reason it went there was for wiring and there is nothing complete about the electrical. Its just really been bumming out lately that I even have to deal with this. I am looking into state laws now.

I think what may have happened is the new shop manager is under pressure to show a profit and sending you a bunch of inflated invoices and claiming ignorance of your agreement with the shop owner is an easy way to do it. Pure speculation on my part but it sounds plausible to me.
