Need advice and also a warning.

I think that's what i said. Filing a suit now would only drive the guy to seek counsel and they'd tell him to put a mechanics lien on it. Op doesn't even know if he owns the car he thinks he owns at this point. He needs to go see and take it from there imo. Doubtful he'd ever collect even if he won.

There is no way he could put a lien on the car, nothing has been done to the car. Absolutely nothing. Besides I already gave him $1500 for labor and $1100 in paint supplies. As well as $1500 in US cartoool parts.

I left out a lot of the douchebaggery out of the original post to keep it somewhat brief.

Originally, I was told there was a shop and a youtube channel and three guys working for him, etc. He was in the process of moving to a larger shop where he could put his lifts and all of his tool, blah blah blah. There is NO shop. It's one man in his garage at his house and three or four storage units that he's constantly late paying the rent on. We tried to go get the paint sample he sprayed for me one time. He said he left it at one of his storage units, so we went there. The attendant came out after several tries of the code and said his access had been revoked because he hadn't paid rent for three months. One of the 6 or 7 excuses he gave me for taking 4 months (maybe more) to spray a really crappy paint sample. More than once it got "lost in the mail" then it got sent back to him for insufficient postage. All BS.

I do appreciate the "other side of the story" because there are a lot of people that get work done and then don't pay. That's not me. I paid all of this in full back on July 17 2018.

The thing here is, he lied about everything from day one. He even had a female friend of his that does his paperwork to make it look more legit. Total scam.
