So if ever ripoff an totaly screwed at shop like no put radiater in or no coolant an ruin engine or cut bottom hose , u can sue shop in court ? I pretty sure I heard lawsuits on shops bfore ? Quite a few years ago I bought a Ford from crap transmission shop for $300, in town used live at years back , it park out door so front end down in rain, I think they cut bottom radiator hose , took off after pay for it an got home an start make noise an shut down , motor ruin no coolant , $300 was just a lil clear back then , never did nothing back, goes show u off just few ppl I hate in county over from here one for example, there are laws stop me from retaliation in some ppl from years back , just example of 1 incident
