What is the name of your state? CA
I got a quote from a person who said he could install the body kit on my car for $100.00 and that he has experience putting several body kits on cars. I paid this guy $120.00 to put a body kit on my car and he said it would take a day to install it. I let him have the car for three days to install the body kit and he didn't finish the job. I saw him on more than one occasion drinking with his friends in his drive way instead of working on my car like he said he was. On the third day I told him I needed my car to go to school and we would have to schedule another date to finish the installation. On the date we scheduled he was not there to recieve the car. The next day one of the side skirts fell off because he did not bolt it to the frame. I scheduled with him to fix the part that fell off and to finish the job. He said he under estimated the cost of the job and would need more money I paid him $70.00 more dollars if he would finish the job that weekend. He not only didn't finish the job but the part he put on was still not bolted on and it was hanging about an inch too low. After being frustrated with his incompetency and lack of desire to finish the job I told him I wanted my $70.00 back and he refused. I refused to let him finishe the job because he was only making things worse. I then showed him parts of the car that were horribly done and the fact that others were not done at all. Several parts on the body kit began to crack and the side skirt fell off again until I went and took it upon myself to finish the job. Unfortunately, several parts were put on without sanding underneath. This caused several cracks that cause most of what he had done to have to be undone and done right. What recourses can I take?
