Even worse that I imagined.....
BEWARE ROBERT TAU AUTOMOTIVE, PENSACOLA FL
They went joy riding and wrecked it!!! F**K Me!!
I called on the second day and was told Robert has left for the
weekend and was on a flight... rutroh.... OK went to pick it up
and they had it parked in a dirt pile..... COVERED with dirt....
I mean it looked like it had been offroading or mud bogging!!!!!
Walked up to it and the front end is smashed up and the spoiled
hanging........
Then the mechanic came out and tried to look surprised... I don`t know
what happened....
ARRRRGHHH
They had parts still laying on the drivers seat with a greasy
bathtowel.. The drivers floor
was full of dirt leaves sticks..... greasy hand prints all over the
doors... the fuse panel still laying
in the passenger seat.. I went OFF when the mechanic tried to play
dumb.... I immediately
saw bits of chipped off paint laying on the ground and a couple small
broken bezel parts
in front of it and noticed the spoiler had been ripped half off and dirt
packed up into the radiator inlet.....
and the front license plate area cover smashed in and the bumper cover
all crushed, broken bezel
on the parking light..
Then I turned the key on and sure enough there was 2.7 miles on the trip
odometer, the radio
was tuned to a station, the seat had been moved up and the rear view
mirror had been lowered
(the mechanic was smaller than me). When I dropped it off I had to pull
the ECM fuse to shut down
the engine and disconnected the battery, plus the radio was off... This
resets the trip odometer, and
clears all the radio stations and defaults the radio to the low end of
the dial (with NO reception)...
Then the mechanic tried to snatch my keys out of the car...........
Bastards!!! I called the police and they came but has I figured since it
was on private property
they wouldn`t even file a police report. I even asked the very curt cop
if he would file that there
are broken body parts and paint chips laying on the damn ground right in
front of the car!! Nope
he was kinda an ass... I did get a "blue sheet" with a number on it from
his partner. FWIW.
Called my insurance and reported it and called the credit card company
to dispute the charges
(they never had me sign anything, including the mandatory check boxes on
the repair order
OR EVEN the credit card slip... PLUS to add insult to injury they sure
did charge me for the horn contact
they broke..... $300.00 charge for a dang lock cylinder replacment. ARRGGHH
It`s gotta be the HotRod Karma Gods displeased with me taking something
I shoulda done myself
to someone else to do......... cuz I just didn`t want to be bothered
with it at the moment...

I hope you got lots of pictures and are ready to go see Judge Judy. Been
there twice and if you go prepared you can kick their ass. The operative
word is be PREPARED and that means overly so and don`t let up until you have
them pounded into the ground. Document everything, have proof, paper,
pictures , witnesses, tell the cop he is heading to court to testify, don`t
just raise a stink, shit on everyone and everything. Look into their
background, see how they pay their bills, has the BBB been getting
complaints, do they drink on their business site, anything that puts them in
a bad light.
By the way one was a draw, (I got my money back), the other one they lost
and I got damages and my money back.
Good luck, it helps,

Ric,
Sorry to hear of your dilemma. You just described the nightmare of every
guy who prefers to turn his own wrench. Unfortunately, modern auto design
has taken that pleasure from us. Anymore, you need a degree in auto
mechanics to change the friggin` oil. We all feel your pain.
If you have the way and the proof, I hope your able to shove a "blue wrench"
up their A**.
