Well I took my car a 98 Chevy Cavalier (black) there to have him look at it. I guess it was because I was a woman and never took a man there with me as support I got ripped off.

On May 10th I took my car to this dealership to have it looked at because it was running hot. I had already got one opinion and was told it was the water pump and it would cost me $875 to have fixed. I was not working and wanted to get a second opinion and a "cheaper" deal. I took my car to Jimmy the owner of this shop (and I know it is not his real name because he is a oriental man) Someone told me about him fixing on their car the same thing that was wrong with mine.

When I got there he looked at it, under the hood, tried to see what was wrong with it. He told me it was the head gaskets on the engine and it would cost &450 for parts and labor.

So I figured this was reasonable and so I agreed to leave it there paid him $350 to get started. Well about a week later he called me in and was "trying" to show me that the engine was no god. I said trying because I don't know anything about cars in this way.

He wrote me another slip for the repairs and stated it would be $1294 I agreed to this thinking that it was the engine and this was a good deal. So every so often I would take money there and pay down the balance up to the point that I only owed $294 more.

Now this gentleman was not calling me, trying to tell me my car was ready so I constantly went up to the shop and called myself staying on him about it.

So here it is November I was behind on my car notes and the finance company made a deal with me to give the car back and they would settle for $. 10 on a dollar for the balance owed and also not put it on my credit report, but it had to be in workng condition.

I was getting ready to move back to Milwaukee, WI. And called and called this man for my car. I informed him about two weeks in advance that I needed my car on a certain day. So every time I went to get it, it was always something else wrong with it.

I ended up catching the train, the Greyhound bus 2x and calling the police several times also. The police told me it was a civil matter and they would no be able to do anything about it the first time I called them. After this because school as starting for my daughter I could not wait any longer to go ahead and move to WI.

I traveled back to Memphis, October, 11,02' abd took my father with me this time. We went to his shop I let my dad talk and Jimmy told him that I needed a battery, he stated he had thrown my old battery away because it was no good?

He stated that after we go and get the battery he would put it in, I would pay him $294 and I would be able to take my car. My father and I went to AutoZone a couple of blocks from the shop, got the battery went back and they were trying to close on us. We went in my father spoke to Jimmy, and gave the battery to him.

When Jimmy was putting the battery in the socket, my father told him that before we pay you we are going to take the car around the block to see if everything is fixed. Jimmy snatched the battery out told us to come back tomorrow and I was not getting my car today!

They started cutting the lights off in the shop and I stood there and stated was'nt going anywhere without my car. He pushed me. Then one of the assholes in the shop took a long screwdriver out from the toolboxand swung at my father.

I started cursing him and my father was yelling at them also. So I called the police and they hit the power switch in the shop trying to make us leave.

When the police came I told my story and all that had been happening with this incident.

The police talked with the both of us. While I was talking to the police jimmy went in his office and put on the paper that I owed $900 storage fees. He also stated he had contacted a lawyer because I was harrassing him.

The officer overheard one of the men that work in the shop state that Jimmy had hurriedly wrote the storage fees on the paper. My receipt doesn't state anything of the sort and i informed the officer of this.

The officer told me that because he never sent me anything certified stating my car was fixed and he would be charging storage fees I would have a civil lawsuit.
He stated he would testify for me in court. He gave me his information, yet because I am not in Memphis anymore it has been hard for me to find a lawyer.

I informed the finance company of where the car was and now as of a week ago they do have the vehicle. So far I have reported to the Better Business Bureau, and Consumer affairs and haven't heard anything from him.

So in closing anyone who reads this letter please don't do business with Jimmy's Auto Repair in Memphis, TN.
