Grimaldi's Repair and Auto Body

Review: To make this as short as possible I took my truck to [redacted] for an enigine repair and some performance upgrades. My truck was in his shop from November 15th 2014 until mid February of 2015.[redacted] was given over 12,000$.That's right, twelve thousand dollars.He refused to allow me to pay him with a check, he wouldn't provide me with receipts or a contract.I have multiple credible witnesses that not only I paid him, but because he wasnt either able to lift parts or wasnt strong enough to use the his own wrenches for certain bolts, I had to personally do mostly ALL the heavy liftin myself.I've kept my bank statements and have all my witnesses in line given I have to go to court which I know this is where its headed.not only did [redacted] NOT put in top of the line parts I gave him money for...He didnt put some in at all...meaning my 2005 ford f250 powerstroke diesel had injectors rather than spark plugs, I gave [redacted] 2800$ just for the parts alone and never put them in.He never even ordered them.One part in particular is call an egr delete.I gave him over 660$ just for a certain part for that, he ordered a 200$ knock off.This was done numerous times with parts.He either didn't buy them if they were inside the enigine and some others he bought cheap ones that werent part of the deal.I was at his shop almost everyday in the 3 months he had my truck.When he finally put my truck back together he didnt seat certain pipes correctly and wound up ruining electrical compents that he wound up charging me for.My truck has broke down 3 other times since i've had it back all things I paid for new to have done.Now my truck I just paid 23000$ for that I gave [redacted] over 12000$ to upgrade and fix is sitting in my driveway broke down.I've contacted [redacted] on numerous occasions and he doesn't care and will do nothing about it.I've kept all my text messages and phone records to prove it.It was discovered that [redacted] had a drug problem after he took my money broke my truck even worse.Desired Settlement: I want my 12,700$ back.And I want him to stop lying to people telling them that he knows how to work on diesels and powerstrokes because he doesnt.He lied to me, took my only truck that I have away from me and literally robbed me of money.This isn't a case of an unhappy cusomer for bad reason.this guy robbed me becuase of his financial or drug problems, now i'm out money and a truck and the only remedy is to have service done by ford to undo all the damge he did, and i'm still without the parts
