Every shop I've delt with has similar policies.
Hold on one second I remember reading somewhere in this thread where the kid admits the car has been being worked on for close to 6 months..... How is he going to explain that to a judge.... Simple paint job should take no more than 1 week.. I think this shop is actually going to own this.. Thats where u can prove his intentions.. He is saying now that he never authorized it yet he leaves his car there to be worked on for close to 6 months..?? no no no looks like we got a winner.. If that's his defense I say get this into court ASAP sooner the better.. From the day you completed the car is the day u should apply the storage fee... Im sure u already had a stroage fee notice up anyway *cough*
