Question On Lengthy Repair Work
We have received a question on how to deal with repair work that has become more lengthy than originally promised. Frustrating as it can be, here are a few tips to see if you can speed up the process without causing any unnecessary friction.
“My mechanic in California has had my car for over 2 years for a refurbishment/restoration. He rebuilt the engine a year and a half ago (it’s still on an engine hoist), but since paying him last year for all work to be performed he’s done nearly nothing to the car. Every month that I visit him he comes up with some excuse as to why there’s been no progress and then pushes out the completion date another six to eight weeks.

How can I get him to complete the car as agreed to on the invoice and not anger him so as to compromise the work he has verbally guaranteed? “
