      I went in talked to owner art,we discussed i wanted floor pan and 2 piston disc brake conversion new brake lines and master cylinder done. I left with understanding dual piston brake were going to be installed. We agreed on how much money was needed.He even commented"that way you'll be completely done with brake system". When i got car back he did single piston brakes, not what we agreed on and didn't do all the brake lines or master cylinder. When i confronted him he said it wasnt in my budget, which it's not what he said earlier..when we met he said it was. In any case i would of paid more for double pistons if that was the case.The brakes where not done correctly with the brake pedal down, it wouldn't hold the cars weight on an incline. It was dangerous to drive on the steet.They didn't refill differintial with oil, so when i drove it the differential was completely damaged. Had to tow car 150.00$,differential had to be rebuilt 2337.40$ had to pay mechanic ******* to remove and install new one.I gave him receipt for work. He said he could of done work himself,I didn't want him to work on car after that experience. He wants to only pay 700.00$ it was his fault for the damage done.i paid ******* in good faith,i should not pay for his mistakes.
