'Rebuilders'? Am I tooo Picky?

This is most likely in a different jurisdiction; probably even in a different state. This will make things difficult at best, and if you do win, how do you collect that size judgement without spending more than the judgement amount?

Justice isn't always easy, but we needn't make crime easy ever.

I agree we have a small claims court and I could take him there .
Might win but really just don't have the time to do it. I will vote with my feet and its very unlikely that this guy will get any work from anyone I know - The amount he will lose is much more than the $400

My cousin is a sign writer and he installed a large sign in an exposed site. He informed the owner that the sign needed metal posts to support it . The company refused to pay for metal posts and demanded wooden posts -He installed it with wooden posts making them sign the quote that wooden posts were used at their request and risk . You guessed it broken posts in a storm . My cousin got taken to small claims court - He lost According to the Judge he should have not installed the sign with wooden posts if he knew it needed metal posts -Go figure !

This isn't a criminal matter; it is a civil matter. There is a big difference between the two in the court system.

Small claims is a civil court. The judge will decide if someone was too picky or if someone didn't do the job requested.

That is true, but the offending party has to show up and give an explanation.

And when he doesn't show up and you win by default, how do you go about collecting the award? Remember, the work was done by a : "'Big' name Speedo guy in the Mid-west" while I believe the O/P is on the east coast. The judgement is worthless across state lines.
 
I had a judgment that was basically uncollectable until the fellow wanted to buy a house. I received my money plus interest! I think people that do nothing are just feeding the problems we are seeing in our modern society. I use the courts, write my representatives in government, even president Reagan once. I also vote, and not afraid to argue with the IRS. Plus I volunteer in my community on top of everything. I am not part of any problem, unless you ask my wife.

I just checked the parts out you can buy the new face plate, decals, you can have the new lens cut, have the bezel redone, so what was to be doing. something dose not look right here.
 
Well; The lens was already broken. But is there no decal for the face? I have rolls of odometer numbers that stick on. Also most rebuilders will not work on any part NOT Stewart Warner. Newc

Not to hijack your thread but where do you find decals to repair odometer numbers?

Heck, more often than not, these judgements are worthless within state lines.
 
Submit it to Judge Judy. They will fly you to Cali for a nice winter vaca and they pay for all restitution. Probably not in their wheel house though, they like neighbor disputes and dog bites.


190$ seems like a good deal. But what did they fix? or what did you agree that they would fix?
