The Business was paid to replace the transmission and clutch in my vehicle. The vehicle was at the shop for an estimated 6 months, because of some type of delay after another. ***** Alvis convinced me to advance him money, to purchase parts. The vehicle was delivered to me, and the transmission had the same symptoms as before, grinding from 1st to 2nd gear and vibration in 4th gear. I took the vehicle to another repair shop. They put the vehicle on a lift and discovered that the transmission was never changed, hence the same problems. I inspected the vehicle with the current repair shop owner. The transmission was never changed, as evidenced by the bolts being corroded, never removed, the oil and dirt being undisturbed, along with temporary repairs made to the mounting area still there. This is clearly the same transmission and was never removed. I paid for a new transmission, clutch set, fluids, and an oil catch can. None was installed. The only thing the shop did, was replace the master cylinder, which I provided. To make matters worse, the front and rear bumpers were damaged while at the shop along with the driver's door panel. I spoke with the owner, *****, who apologized and blamed the transmission shop that was subcontracted to do the work. He says he had other problems and removed other clients' vehicles from the transmission facility. I asked for the shop information so I could recover the money and the transmission I had delivered to Alvis Racing Motorsports. He refused to give any information. Meanwhile, a few months have passed, and Alvis Racing Motorsports has made no attempt to return my money. ***** Alvis is a smooth talker and has easily convinced me that he will "take care of it" on several occasions. Even promised ***** money to my account on several occasions, but nothing has happened. After months of broken promises and excuse after excuse, it is my opinion that this mechanic has worked me into a con.Initial Complaint
