Oh I've let him know I'm not pleased with excuse after excuse. And yes my visits are becoming more frequent. The problem with taking my car to another shop in the area is they are all very expensive and I just can't afford it. Then too I'll have the (last guy did it wrong and I have to redo what he did) scenario. Instead of just finishing up the job it'll cost me double. I've had guys try to pull me down that road and I told them no thanks. And too it wouldn't be the first time I've taken someone to small claims court to get things handled (and yes that was a verbal agreement as well). All that said I know a lot of people in the hot/street rod game and word will get around fast.
