What is the name of your state? North Carolina
Need help trying to determine our legal rights against a auto repair shop.
Why?
1. They used our truck to do their business runs and some personal driving (484 miles), hauling vehicles, trash, parts, etc without our permission or knowledge. In turn the truck was damaged while they were driving it. Also they let unlicensed drivers do the driving.
2. They threatened us with a mechanics lein if we did not come pay them immediately. We had tried for 3 weeks to get the total of the final bill. We even talked to them the same day they left the mechanics lein message.
3. They charged us $648.00 for work they did not do.
4. When we picked the truck up it would not run. We had to put parts back on it just to get it to start. Then had to take it to another repair shop to have the carberator repaired that they had damaged at a cost of another $140.00. Now we have to find another repair shop to determine just what they did and did not do and get whatever repaired.
Do we have any legal rights or what can we do, please help?
Thanks
