My $15,500 oil change and the mechanic from hell

I had the unpleasant opportunity to work for Wayne, and during my 4 months there, and knowing what I know now, everything Peters stated above is definitly part of Wayne's character. Before anyone makes the decision to give their car to Wayne, they need to do their research and not take anything Wayne says to them at face value.

 

Peter,

Good lord you have been though so much with this guy. Thanks for the update.

 

Does that 3K mean you won't be going to court?

 

"Even" is a relative term.

 

ATA BOY PETE!!!!! That is great news. Make sure you get that check cashed FAST! Better yet take it to his bank and get the money in hand. However, with the way this guy does business, don't be surprised if it bounces to the moon and back. Also make sure when you go to court to get the maximum award allowed in small claims. Keep us posted bro, we're all pulling for you.

 

Pete,

Be careful that the check you have does not "Imply", Payment in Full?

 

Good to see things finally turning over in your favor, Pete... i hope you pull this bastard through the wringer for all he's worth for all the crap he's put you through...

 

me i would find a couple of guys named guido an bruno and go get your satisfsction , make him an offer he cant refuse ( take along a washtub and a bag of quick drying cement) ,its people like that ,that srew it up for everyone even the best of wrench turners will tell ya that, good luck

 

Hey Peter,

I just started looking at this site a couple of weeks ago and I subscribed today. Thanks for posting your story - and know you have a lot of support. Keep fighting the fight and let us know how it goes.........'cause I'd be beyond pissed if I was dealing with this...

Eric

 

Sorry to hear about your headache Peter - I'm glad to hear you're taking action, and that you have your car back and on the road.

I have a similar situation with work done at a NY Ferrari authorized dealer that I am spending $25k to fix due to their poor diagnoses, assessment and major service - And, FNA only told me, 'sorry, there's nothing we can do' - I will post this story up when I have the chance.

Damn, this thread is going on? WTF??????

 

William,

How can it be over without resolution??

All agree that Peter got Hosed, (Pun not intended)
It want to hear the outcome from a Legal standpoint.

 

Give em' Hell Peter.

 

Did that $3k check ever clear?

 

I would place an ad in the local newspaper requesting anyone who has received less than satisfactory service form that shop to contact the number placed in the ad. If one gets enough response one could, as a group, contact both a civil lawyer and the appropriate police agency, and initiate complaints under the racketeering statute of your state or federally if one can meet the requirements, which I would be willing to speculate is possible. There is a case in Indiana, Kollar v. State of Indiana, that one might want to read. It is located in a North East 2d reporter, cannot recall which number. It involved a business owner who continuously made promises he never intended to keep, or knew he could not keep. I think he got 8 years. (This should not be construed as legal advice).

 

Hey Peter... Today I drove by SR Exotics (The idiot Wyane Hynes) shop and noticed there were two Livermore police units in front of the shop for the third time now... and then I noticed your truck was there.... What Happen???? I was hoping & praying that someone finally "cap" the SOB for ripping them off too. The funny thing was, I pictured you picking his pockets to get back what he owned you in court.... =)

Hey also Peter, and to ANYONE who is viewing this thread message response. I will post a thread later about how Wyane Hynes stole my spare tire from my garage, a little over a week ago. It’s a long story but it’s worth reading. Also when I posted the thread, I will also include the police report which I’m waiting for now. I really don’t think many Ferrari owners really don’t know much about this ******…this guy is a real piece of work. For anyone who don’t know me… I’m the guy who created this website which I really regret it now.
