... since you said the guy tried blaming you, im assuming you did go back to complain. and all he said was it was your fault? and that was that? thats bullshit, stay there and bitch till they fix it, stand outside and tell every damn customer tha walk near the shop your story, i can almost garantee they will fix it if you start taking business away from them... the only thing he can do is threaten to call cops, which even if he does, let him, cops will come, then tell them your story, worst they can say to you is leave.

speedo is probably unplugged, which is tossing a CEL which is going to help cause the motor run rich

actually, if he's on the sidewalk the cops can't even make him leave.
