  More info

  I have known ****** Herrera for about a year and he told me he was a mechanic. I needed work done on my vehicle. I needed a new radiator , a condenser, and a emission canister. He told me he was licensed and that he had a shop behind his house. I then trusted him to perform the work on my car. I have a receipt that shows the deposits I gave him. The first deposit was on March 30, 2022 for the amount of $******, the next deposit was on April 6th, 2022 for the amount of $1*****.. He then put the radiator in my vehicle. I then gave him $ ***** on April 9th,2022. ****** then put the condenser in my vehicle. My last deposit amount was for $ ****** on June 20, 2022. I then gave him another $ 1***** on June 23rd, 2022. I was with him when he started the car for about 3 minutes. When he shut the car off he put fluids in a couple places. After that My vehicle would not start again. Now he refuses to work on my vehicle anymore. I paid him a total of $1,000.00. He must know that he screwed up my vehicle.

  I *********************** (******) did a job that another customer referred to me. I've never meet this person till March 30, 2020 when he told me if I can install somethings. He wanted me to install radiator, A/C condenser and Emissions control vacuum canister. I said ok I can install all three parts for $1000 and he agreed. I wrote up an invoice which he signed agreeing to those terms. The invoice will be attached to this email. Upon going to inspect the vehicle he never said that I would have to go pick him up and go all the to ******* to work on his car. Then on our way there he says that he'll pay me in payments and then I knew that with this guy theirs going to be issues. So we get there and look at the vehicle the vehicle been in a vehicle accident which I'll also attached to this email. If he thought that I was going to fix that kind of damage for only $1000 he's mistaken. I told him that we didn't agree on that and that he would need a lot more parts before the vehicle can be driven. He says just install what I'm paying u for. So I installed all parts and know he's saying that I haven't done anything or any of the work and he's not going to pay me the rest of what he owes. I also have the exact dates of the payments he made the first one was on March 30, 2022 for $300 next payment was on April 6, 2022 for $150 next payment was on April 9, 2022 for $50 and the last payment was on June 20, 2022 for $300 which adds up to $800 he still owes me $200. I've been having problems with this person who refuses to pay and is constantly harassing and threatening me that he's going to do this and that if I don't pay him back $1000 which I haven't received all he's trying to do is to see if he could get off on me and get away with it. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at  ************** and thank you.
