I was quoted a total to have my atv repaired. After Having the atv for a few weeks, i was quoted around $2000 for the repair. At that time i gave him the go ahead to repair it. After a couple more, we get a call say there were more problems then he thought and the total would be around $3000, and he needed half the money up front to continue. After some hesitation i decided to go ahead and continue fixing it(considering he was already into the atv for almost $1000 of work). During the second week of july i gave him a check for $2600, to cover the majority of the cost. I was told it would be about three weeks to have it done. Six weeks later he still did not have my wheeler done. I told him i needed it by labor day weekend, at that time he then informed me that i was going to owe about another $1100-1200. The atv is only worth $3500, if i had known it was going to cost this much from the start, i would have put it towards a new Atv.
