Your post is hard to follow, you’re saying they fixed the heads and also installed the wrong push rods?

That info says there is NO way you'll see a penny if you take them to court. Sucks! But just move on and hopefully working with an honest/reputable shop in the future will save you some money to help absorb this loss.I did so I’m going to initiate a charge back and see how that goes. The dude went MIA and refuses to answer his phone and I’m not the only one he ****ed.
They installed fixed heads that I paid for from LME and the kid who put everything together put the wrong pushrods in and caused the retainer to push the valve through the springYour post is hard to follow, you’re saying they fixed the heads and also installed the wrong push rods?
I think this is what I’m going to do from know on. At least I’ll only have myself to blame plus the satisfaction of knowing I did it myself is worth it.Sucks man. So sorry to hear. Really really sucks.
This is why I do my own work. Even if it takes me a year to built my motor— I AM DOING IT.
Sorry man. Really shitty.

I want to ruin his LLC followed by his life lolAs others have stated, lawsuits aren't worth your time. I'm currently in the middle of a mid-seven-figure arbitration as the defendant in a product defect case. When this process started I was all about justice and making things right. A year on, I've made the realization that the only people profiting from this are the lawyers. They continue to file motion and counter motion. We are on our third round of rebuttals to expert deposition. The arbitrator himself is incentivized to keep the case open for as long as possible (he charges more than $500 per hour). We've maxed our insurance deductible for legal coverage within 3 months of notification (that was $50k). I have one lawyer and one legal assistant working with me. They send me their monthly logs to approve payments. They charge by the 1/4 hour. lol.
The second realization I made is that sometimes folks become litigious simply to be a disruptor to your normal business rather than gaining any money in the settlement. In our case, when a settlement is made, the plaintiff will see very little of that money. His legal team is compensated as a percentage of settlement and all costs/expenses. The plaintiff simply wants to distract our team. You'd be amazed at how much sleep someone loses over something like this. Perhaps that's their goal...
So if your intent was simply to distract him from the start-up of his next venture, maybe that would be time-worthy. If your soul has it in it...
Yea I know I’ve taken people to court for theft of service a couple of times for my business. I think maybe twice it actually paid off.I would go down to the shop and call the Police and make a Police report. This is a larceny if u have already paid for a service and parts and didnt get what u paid for.
Not everything is civil ALONE although circumstances like this CAN end up in civil court if u chose to take that route AS WELL!
I took police reports for this kind of shit for decades. Its called Theft of Services and is listed in almost every state statute as a Larceny.
Get it documented with a Police report. U gave this guy money to perform a service and he didnt perform said service and u didnt get a refund. Thats stealing!
It really depends on the Cop that shows up. Some are lazy and will state "Civil matter" but if its an actual competent cop he will take ur report. Plenty of Civil matters are also criminal.
People get arrested for criminal shit all the time and the victim ALSO takes them to court for further civil damages. Its common practice.
I’m really at that pointMaybe u should just beat the shit of the dude for being a scumbag...... probably feel 10x better. Jus sayn....
Yea I know it’s unfortunate. My lawyer told me if I can prove that the installed parts were catastrophically damaging due to his error we can sue for negligence and my lawyer is a prosecutor and was a judge so it seems he thinks it’s a possible case. He’s my cousin so he’s not telling me it’s a case to try and suck money out of me.The problem with taking an automotive related claim to court is that the Judge knows as much about cars as he does his Toaster Oven. It is all gibberish to them. They make a ruling based on a complete lack of knowledge of the subject matter. It is a bunch of BS.
Been there, done that, on both sides of the issue.
