Junkyard rant.

I must be missing something. Just ask for your money back. He doesnt have the product, he cant rightfully keep the money.

You would think that it's that simple, but it damned sure isn't. There is nothing in the legal system that can make him give me my money back.

I have researched this, it's a waste of time and money because I will not win. Even if I do, there is nothing in place to make him pay. If it were a car lot, I could file against his bond, but the great state of Texas doesn't make these fuckers carry any kind of bond or insurance of any kind.

I have pretty much checked every legal way and there isn't one in place for something like this. Any junkyard in Texas can get away with this so long as they have a no cash refund sign in place.

There is nothing to do a "no cash refund" with, since he NEVER gave you what you paid for! That's what everyone is trying to tell you. He sold you item # X and gave you item # Go Fuck Yourself. If it were a return/exchange, that's different and store credit whatever. But he hasn't given you anything except show you a jankity, stripped-down engine that you obviously didn't accept. Use Mustang Revival's idea, film it etc. and tell him you have all of the call records and he will be contacted by your Ambulance Chaser attorney that is paid only when he settles a claim... or he can give you the money/engine within 48 hours. That's your last options short of following him home and beating $1,000 worth of anger out of him.

I'd still file in small claims court and try something. You're letting him keep a grand of your cash and calling it even? Small claims court, hell find a lawyer friend and ask for advice on this, they can't just take your cash for a part and say frack off

Sometimes it's just principle. Go light shit on fire, fuck. Do SOMETHING. something is far better than nothing.

FUCKIN' A RIGHT!!!! Fire bomb that bitch!!!

Go back up there, ask to speak to the owner. Show him your receipt.

Ask for your motor or junkyard credit. Don't just let it go.

TAKE a friend and have them record the whole thing with phone or flip cam.

Don't get emotional, don't accuse. Stick to the facts and give them options to make it right.

If they tell you to get bent, post the video on youtube. We will help distribute it.

Probably the better idea.

<------ kicks dirt and walks away in shame of admitting that

I am open to suggestions on how to accomplish this legally. At this point I have pretty much tried everything. I tried being nice, I tried being mean, I tried threatening with court. I submitted complaints with the BBB and the Attorney General. I tried contacting the news, I tried the police. What the hell else can I do?

You say you don't want to waste time going up there and asking for your cash or engine yet you have a hell of a lot of time to post in here

Have you not paid attention in this thread? I can drive 60 miles up there and ask for it and I won't get it, then I have to drive 60 miles back home. If I lived 10 minutes away, sure that would be feasible.

He can't now, the PD have been involved, he goes back up there and they can call the cops and have him removed or even arrested if starts throwing a tantrum to the PD.

Not too sure about that one. Since I am a paying customer that is still waiting on his item, I don't see how he can legally remove me during business hours, especially if I am not causing a disturbance.

[Rick Modena]

Get that bitch out of you and go get your property, either your money or engine.

Right, I go over there with an attitude. At best one of us gets the living shit kicked out of him and the other goes to jail. At worst one of us gets killed and the other goes to jail for a long time.

Say I did go over there and put him in the hospital. Now I go to jail, where I can't fix cars. Not only am I getting screwed in jail and still screwed out of my money, but my mom and sister have no business partner mechanic, thus they lose money.

I can make the money back that he stole from me. Sure it burns me up, but being dead or in jail doesn't help me get it back.

[JC316]

Its over man, they will never give you anything now. Especially after you were an asshole (which btw you had every right to be) but after your mom and sister went up there and the PD were involved, you can forget about it now.

I know and it fucking kills me to let it go, but I don't have much choice here.

You need to pay other people. You WANT to pay me.
