vehicle was fixed is the fastest amount of time that we could do. We also due to the complexity of repairs never can guarantee a completion date.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:  I have correspondences between the merchant and myself where I have expressed to stop any work that would incur additional charges, I also had stated that I was willing to make one more payment of the amount, which I did, and have the check to prove that November 2013, I did make that payment. However, that same month for the same amount the merchant demanded that I charged the credit card $1400.00 in order to have my vehicle released.  He has recently fabricated a 'bill' listing all the services on the vehicle. This bill was never issued to me, unfortunately, all matters were discussed verbally or via email. I am able to upload the correspondences as well as the banking statement after I blank out the account information on that statement.  Which I will upload here.  I have also every intention on escalating this to a fraudulent legal matter if the check is not returned to me as a resolution and closing of this case.  Dishonesty, is not a manner by which a business should conduct.  This bill that they have attached here is not an authorized agreement, as you will notice it is void of any signature on my behalf accepting any of the charges. Over the course of the year, I have naively and with a lot of undue trust, issued checks as they stated they needed them no requiring a receipt or a bill. This was my fault and immaturity. I had no idea that this would be the outcome of my compliance. I went a long with every single amount that they requested. Even this very last amount. I have no idea why they insisted on charging the credit card again for this amount before they let go of my vehicle.

Review: My car was at the body shop to get repaired by [redacted] Insurance. It took over 6 months just to get the car back from the body shop and when I finally got it back it was because I had to pay a good faith $2500 deposit because the body shop and [redacted] were disputing all the charges the body shop was trying to bill [redacted] for the repairs. [redacted] said the shop was charging for repairs that were never authorized or required to repair the car. By providing the $2500 deposit so they would release the car based on the shop telling us what they were charging [redacted] was true and valid for money they were owed from the insurance company. Since I have gotten the car back, it has been to the [redacted] dealership several times to get additional work to fix issues caused by the accident. The body shop put on their bill that they took care of these repairs but every time the car went to [redacted] they found that these repairs had not been done. [redacted] did pay [redacted] for these repairs on top of paying the body shop to perform the same repairs which they never performed. For example, they charged $493 to replace a headlight control module. That was found to be incorrect and [redacted] verified this and had to replace the part since it never was replaced by the body shop. The body shop said they fixed the Air Conditioner in the car however this also was not the case and [redacted] again fixed this even though the body shop said they did and received payment for this repair. They also charged $350 to fix the leather seat. [redacted] paid them this money but the seat was never repaired. The car is now currently in the shop again getting a new engine, covered under warranty, and we were informed it needed an oil cooler and other parts damaged in the accident.If you look you at what the insurance company paid the shop you will see the body shop was paid to replace the oil cooler. I have attached the [redacted] Estimate showing you what they have paid for and you can see where the car has been to the [redacted] dealership several times to get repaired for work the body shop claimed to have completed but never performed the repairs. We also have heard from [redacted], where they bought many of their parts, that for the headlights, they returned $1550.06 in headlight parts on 11-22-13 on [redacted] invoice number [redacted] yet they are still charging [redacted] for these parts. This has been nothing but a headach for me as the body shop has put me in the middle of their disagreement with the insurance company. The shop agreed to perform the work and accepted the insurance companys authorizations to perform work and when the insurance company began to question some of the work the shop said they needed to perform then came to me and said we can't release the car until we receive payment from the insurance company but if you pay $2500 we will release the car and reimburse you when the insurance company pays there final supplement. I have been in the middle of this dispute between the shop and [redacted] ever since. [redacted] has been more than accomodating in fixing other hidden damages discovered by [redacted] and I believe from this that the shop is trying to get [redacted] to pay yhem for work never authorized and probably not required to repair the car.Desired Settlement: They should refund the $2500 we paid them based on what they told us for the money in the first place plus the additional $430 we had to pay [redacted] to fix the car for what they said they already did plus the $350 they took to fix the leather seat which they never fixed.

Review: Friday morning I ordered tires. They said they come next day and were coming from Deleware. I said that will be fine. Today I called this morning to make sure they were coming. they siad it would be here at 11am from UPS. no one called me so I called them. they said they did not come on the truck. they will be here tomorrow coming from Indy. this is not axceptable becuase there is a storm in the east cost tuesday and that is why I ordered them before the storm. I then request for my money back. the emplyee said only the owner could do it latter on today. I told him this is not fair I want to speak to him. he gave me a number to call and the owner is refusing to refund my money because he is now telling me that they are special order tires and there is no refund. I was never told this until now. I would have never ordered them if that was told to me on friday. I want my money back now so I can go get tires today.Desired Settlement: I want a refund plus what ever else it cost me to get them from someone else today.

Review: The business charged for an unauthorized transaction to my credit card. This was an amount that was never approved, never discussed and certainly not agreed to. At the time of the charge, the owner clearly stated that he would not release the car to the transport company until this amount was paid immediately over the phone by credit card. There was no documentation or previous outstanding bill that was apparent. Furthermore, I have proof of a check payment that went out for the same amount. I was completely thrown off when this amount was requested again but at the time had no other choice but to provide the credit card information because I was leaving on deployment in a few days, and needed this car to be in WA state, from MD before I left. I could not afford leaving the car in their shop for the year of my deployment. Unless I paid this amount, the vehicle would not get onto the transport shipping truck that I had arranged. Previously, when I arranged for a transport truck to pick it up, the store owner did not put the car on the truck saying it was not ready, though I had arranged the truck on the pick up date according to HIS direction and instruction. I have already lost out on a $300.00 deposit that was something that the truck company could not refund according to their policy of a failed pick up. This I understood. The second time the truck went to pick up the vehicle was when the store owner said that the car would not be released until this random amount of 1400.00 was paid. At this time, they can create ANY document of hypothetical bills they want to produce, regardless this charge was completely fraudulent and unauthorized.Desired Settlement: I would like a refund of $1400.00 which is the amount being charged to my credit card + $300.00 deposit that was lost for the car not being ready to be picked up the first time around + $210.00 of a revolving interest charge for this outstanding balance as I have been trying to resolve this matter. The total I would like refunded is: $1910.00.

Response:

The payment of $1400 was toward the final balance of the car repairs and rebuild authorized by [redacted]. $10800 has been paid to the job leaving a outstanding balance of $2085.06. [redacted] has mentioned that he is satisfied with the work completed. [redacted] has not answered to any phone calls or emails regarding the matter. No guaranteed delivery date was ever mentioned or stated. No customer of Auto Body Craftsmen is given a guaranteed repair date. [redacted] was informed from the first day due the complexity of repair and many customer supplied parts that absolutely no completion date could be estimated. This was communicated with [redacted] every time we spoke and the reason for any delay at no fault of Auto Body Craftsmen. Specifically the ignition switch, failed upon transport companies attempt to pickup the vehicle to no fault of Auto Body Craftsmen. Transport company was not equipped to pick up customers vehicle safely, Transport company was hired via customer, it is the customers responsibility to make sure the transport truck is properly equipped to transport their vehicle. Enclosed flat bed transport was service was offered but declined due to price.Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because: I have correspondences between the merchant and myself where I have expressed to stop any work that would incur additional charges, I also had stated that I was willing to make one more payment of the amount, which I did, and have the check to prove that November 2013, I did make that payment. However, that same month for the same amount the merchant demanded that I charged the credit card $1400.00 in order to have my vehicle released. He has recently fabricated a 'bill' listing all the services on the vehicle. This bill was never issued to me, unfortunately, all matters were discussed verbally or via email. I am able to upload the correspondences as well as the banking statement after I blank out the account information on that statement. Which I will upload here. I have also every intention on escalating this to a fraudulent legal matter if the check is not returned to me as a resolution and closing of this case. Dishonesty, is not a manner by which a business should conduct. This bill that they have attached here is not an authorized agreement, as you will notice it is void of any signature on my behalf accepting any of the charges. Over the course of the year, I have naively and with a lot of undue trust, issued checks as they stated they needed them no requiring a receipt or a bill. This was my fault and immaturity. I had no idea that this would be the outcome of my compliance. I went a long with every single amount that they requested. Even this very last amount. I have no idea why they insisted on charging the credit card again for this amount before they let go of my vehicle.
