My response:

First, call the Florida Attorney General's Office to find out if Florida has a Bureau of Automotive Repair (like California has) or something similar, and if so, have them do your legwork to investigate this matter.

If Florida doesn't have such a Bureau, then you certainly have enough information with which to file your own Small Claims action against the mechanic.

It's not up to the property lessor to babysit it's tenants. The lessor's job is to rent space, and collect rents. Period.

Good luck.

thank you very much...the florida dept of consumer affairs does have an auto repair complaint section with an online form to fill out...i will do that first and file a small claim

again thank you
