I hired a "supposed" mechanic to repair my steering (replace the pressure hose), which I hired from a facebook site called "Tampa Bay Garage Sale".
This "mechanic" performed the "job" in my driveway. The day after the "repair", the mechanic was informed that the issue was not only "not resolved", but was actually worse (at that time, it was still my opinion).
After I informed him, he of course blamed me for the issue, and not even apologizing and coming to look. He knew he did a bad job, and was happy to take my money. I took it to a professional, and there were many things wrong with the "new" part that was installed. I have it in writing from an actual licensed mechanic.
I have everything that was said, from beginning to end, every single text message. I was able to locate him, his address, and his background, and it seems this man is also on probation for auto theft.
Essentially this man risked the life of me and my stepdad, in order to make a few dollars and could care less about putting us at risk. Would this be fraud? Would this be a crime (risking lives?)? Is it strictly civil?
This man needs to be stopped before he hurts or kills someone. Thank you.
