That's horrible. I hope you get your car back and everything ends well. I think I speak for all LA area RL'ers when I say I'm very curious what shop you went to, but I understand you keeping it to yourself right now. Good luck with everything.

I think its time to get the Louisville Slugger out of the closet and put it to good use.

Thank you all for your concern , I will try to answer all your questions. BAR is the Bureau of Automotive Repair , the better business bureau for cars here in California. I opened a claim against the shop with BAR who spent about six weeks trying to resolve the situation with no resolution. They sent me letter saying that they closed the case and I should seek counsel. The police , city attorney, and BAR all say that this is a civil matter not criminal. I haven't posted in a long time concerning this because it has consumed all my time and caused me great duress. After six months of renting cars I had to go out and buy another car since I see no end in sight. Now that this has turned into a legal matter I don't want to give this shop any leverage in a liable matter so I don't want to name them. I would be more than happy to discuss my situation with my fellow Rennlisters between the hours of 8am to 4pm pst. 818-674-6952
I agree w/ Alex this should now be a criminal matter. Taking forever to repair is one thing, moving the car to a location unknown to the owner without further notice is theft.
Please keep us posted.
