asking for a co-worker, any help appreciated
This family bought a car at auction and took it to Auto Doctor to get an inspection done. During the inspection, the mechanic broke some wires (I'm guessing plug wires? she has no clue). He told the woman at the time that he was sorry, they were old and brittle but that he would cover the cost. Now he is demanding payment, for the wires and the replacement labor, and saying that if she does not pay he will lie on the inspection report and say that the car is not road worthy. Is there anything she can do about this? I have already suggested the Better Business Bureau, but am wondering if there are any other (legal) means of persuasion, some kind of licensed mechanics' governing body or something.
Thanks in advance.
