      Mike W**** claimed to be licensed and bonded mechanic and auto body shop. That is false.
      I left my vehicle with Mike and was told the car would be done in 2 weeks. He convinced me to pay 2/3 of the money upfront. 3 weeks later he called and told me the vehicle was ready for pick up. He said he would begin charging a daily hold fee unless I paid over the phone the remaining balance and then he would hold it until the end of the week. I paid my balance over the phone. When I arrived that Friday, he had only stripped my car of parts, no work had started. I was angry he told me the car would be done in a week. He told me he had already finished the engine work and only the paint was left. I could not verify because he had tools on top of the engine bay.
      Months went by and Mike told me more and more lies. I attempted to collect my vehicle multiple times and Mike refused access.
      Mike stole parts and sold them to others. My engine and transmission were removed and replaced with a junk yard pair. Mike attempted to give me a hemi engine as replacement then a different LS engine. He has again given his word to provide me with my original parts and my money back. My vehicle has another 20,000 in damages from his staff being incompetent. Someone buffed the glass with the sander damaging the windows while working on the paint, the paint job is not the agreed color, the car rusted and was painted over rust because the car sat for to long stripped, the wheels have chemical pill from sitting exposed in the shop, the wiring harness was cut when the engine was removed instead of being disconnected properly, the original factory chrome was thrown on the floor in a heavy traffic area so the staff stepped all over it bending and braking the chrome, the exhaust and undercarriage was painted because they did not mask the car off properly, hood hinges were replaced with junkyard hinges that were painted black. Mike claimed the hinges were new. The car is worth 2 grand at this point.
