well, i think every party involved in this situation learned a valuable lesson.... i dont think japworks will trust just any guy with $16000 worth of parts and labor again, i hope..
and im sure that Joe Dono learned that you cant just go around trying to fuck everyone who's nice enough to help him without having karma come around and bite him in the ass.
moral of the story, make sure there is always a signed work order and that the person getting the work done actually owns the car or atleast has permission from his/her parents. and dont expect some random nobody off the street to be good for $16000 without knowing that he is good for it. thats a lot of fucking money!
