| Opinion needed on body shop (What to do)
I left a set of mirrors with a reputable body shop guy (the owner) He did some work for me before on my car which was well done.
Anyway, his phone is disconnected for the past month and he stopped contacting me through email. He has had my mirrors for 2 months now and i went and drove to his shop and found nobody there.
When he did answer his phone a couple months ago when i asked about the status of my mirrors he replied saying he did touch them yet and he was helping a "buddy" at another shop. Since then no contact.
At this point what do i do? Better Business Bureau?

-Doesn't seem very reputable....
also I don't think he would shut down business and run just to steal your mirrors....

I'm going to give him a few days to reply back to my email about contacting the Better Business Bureau. If he doesn't i will reveal the name of the shop and see if anyone on RS knows the guy or people that work there to help me out.

He's probably just busy. From my experiences with him he's a stand up guy and there's many on here and other forums who can vouch for him Posted via RS Mobile | |

another shit back garage shop.. my advice to all is to save your trouble, spen extra 100$ and get quality work!!!
dont support new businesses, back door garages and unreliable "friends advice"
my choices for body shops
1. richmond Bshop
2. Craftsman collision
3. Automind col.
stick to quality and professionalism; speaking from my past experience dealing with backdoor mechanics, bodymen and vinyl wannabe guys.

Just because a business is new doesnt mean they do shit jobs.

give RS members some confidence.
im sorry i can not think of one...
im big on supporting LOCAL business.. however NOT new business. From my experience I would wait 1-2 years before I'd go and use someones services.

Got my mirrors back, mods can close this thread.
For those wondering, to get my mirrors back i had to write an email with my intentions to get the BBB involved. He then responded back within 6hrs of that email.
