I know there's a lot of these topics here, but I wanted to start my own.
During the summer, I had a private "mechanic" fix my car for 400+ dollars. I was at work, so my Dad wrote him a check to cover it. Upon driving the car home, I noticed that the brakes (something that he wasn't supposed to even touch) were shot: completely shot.
I decided to have the brakes fixed somewhere else...the mechanic obviously screwed up my brakes, so I didn't want to take it to him.
At the dealership that I had my car towed to, I was charged roughly 400 dollars for the brake repair. Since the first mechanic did as much damage and he did repairs, payment was stopped on the check.
A few months later, I bumped into the guy, and he was furious. He brought up the incident, and I told him that there was noway in Hell I was going to pay him for damaging my car after being hired to fix it. He stormed away, and I haven't heard from him since.
Can he still pursue this? I live in Ohio, by the way.
