I totally agree. No matter how good the shop has been to other customers
(how long in business & reputation) OR how good they have been to you in the
past (or how good of FRIENDS? they are/were), I'd drop it in their lap,
lock, stock & barrel with the looming repercussions being the BBB & small
claims court to resolve the problems & your losses (both what you paid for &
didn't get & what new damages have risen from the fraud). I'm not sure I'd
let the same shop perform the fix either! I'd pursue the court to instruct
payment only & then take the work somewhere else.
