Business ProfileforAdrian's Paint and Body

Starting on 5-1-23, i took my car to ******'s ***************************** Shop. We agreed on a Paint job & the price ($3500) that he was supposed to charge me. On 5-4-23, ****** asked me to put half of $3500 that we agreed on which is $1750 but i gave him $1800 to keep it at an even number(i have both receipts). i told ******, "i wasn't ******* him to do my car because i knew i was behind all of the summer cars he had ahead of me. But i do want my car to be started on by August or September. & i didn't start calling him to find out when the actual finish date was going to be starting 10-1-23. That day, he said the car would be finished by the end of the month or by the beginning of November. The dates came & went by without a call about why it's not ready or when the next supposed date may be. i called again, asked, when are u going to be done? He said, he would have the car ready by, 12-1-23. Again the date comes & goes, still no painted car. The next time i talked to ******, i asked, could u have the car ready by 1-12-24? He said, sure. i definitely didn't believe him didn't have no reason to. That date came & went. No car! So then, he tells me on Tues., 1-30-24, that the car will be ready to be picked up, painted on that Friday (2-2-24). On that ******************** doesn't call ******* never has(the whole 9 months my car has been there). Explaining what's the deal with my car, what's the hold up, no sample of paint or anything. On 2-2-24, he doesn't call all day to say, your car will be ready at this time or nothing. It's never nothing. So I called **** **** didn't answer his phone. So i called the office part to ask the secretary. She said, he missed my call because he's painting my car right this moment. i said cool, but i drove up there to see if he was painting. **** wasn't. Hadn't put a drop of paint on the car in 9 months. So i told **** I'm done, drive my car out of the booth because i have been fed lies since 10-1-23. i asked about the $1800, he said something stupid, the police were called, so, that's what led me to this.
