I took my car to A+automotive on the 16th of December, I have a receipt from ATT for the wrecker service that towed my car to their shop. I stopped by and he said to me bring it over here so we can see what it is, so I had it towed to their shop on the 16th, It sat in their yard for a week before he got it in the shop,. He told me the transmission was frozen up and a rebuilt one was $2152.19 and I told him I didn't have that much money, but I sold to shotguns and came up with $1500.00 and he would carry the rest until the 3rd of January. after a couple of weeks the car was supposed to be fixed. His mechanic drove it and said it run great. I picked it up and drove about 3 miles and it was jumping and I took it back and got the mechanic and told him I wanted him to ride with me and he did and it started jumping and sputtering, and he said you can't hurt it to drive it, it needs a selonied and he said bring it back to me on Sunday and I will fix it and there will be no charge it is on me. I stood there and watched him put the transmission in the car it took about 3 hours of we watching for him to get the trainsmission in that is why I t hought they were fixing it. I did not know at this time they had sent the car out to get it fixed. Well when I took it back is when all the trouble started. Jonathan said he did not know where the car was at, it was in Hendersonville somewhere but he didn't know where. His mechanic took it over there. I went by several times over the next 4 weeks and there was always some excuse, his mechanic was over there all day long working on it, the parts didn't come in. It was one excuse after another. I was in there one day and there was a policeman across the street from his place and I walked over there and asked the policeman if he would come to A+ with me and he said he would be there in a minute, so I walked back in to wait on him and Jonathan told me to leave. When the policeman came I explained to him the problem and Jonathan told me to leave again and I said I wasn't leaving until I got my car, I had already paid him, and the police said I needed to leave so I did. Outside of the building the police said it sounded like I needed to get an attorney. We went to the police station the next day and another policeman went went us to A+ and he also stated he had had several complaints about A+ Automotive and when we went to A+ the officer told Jonathan the same thing that they had several complaints about them. Anyway when we went to pick the car up the car was not at his place and the officer told him we would be back tomorrow and if the car wasn't there it would be reported as a stolen vehicle and he would be responsible. He then told me there was another $575.00 owed and that had to be paid before we picked the car up. I called my sister in Columbia SC and she called him and gave him her credit card information over the phone and he processed it that day. We went back the next day with the same police officer went us and paid the other $652.19 and picked the car up. It took 6 weeks and 3 days to get the car back and as of Feb 13, 2012 the car doesn't have any REVERSE in it, and I have a 3 year warrenty on the repair but I am afraid to take it back to him to have him fix the REVERSE GEAR in it. I guess I will have to take it to another transmission place. I am under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and it is very differicult to do.
