engine guys
I recently have had a bad experience with a engine builder that I have done busniess with for almost 9 years, bottom line,what I have learned get it in writing and hope fully specific in the scope and extent of the work.If you discuss something with him document it and have him sign it or initial it. At the very least write it down the way the discussion went down, because it may be admissible if shown to be valid which can be done, One way is to tell the builder during the conversation that I see you did not write something down, so now I will and could you please sign it, also you need to be comfortable with your own actions, if you feel you should have done something than do it, if you feel you did all you could than use that as the "energy " to pursue the next step. My dilema is because 90 % of the work he has done for me in the past has been verbal, and it went fine, I let my guard down and ythis happens. I do have some documentation and it is "damning " for him the verbal agreement/understanding is what I need to did acoss. He honestly flat out lied about hard parts and installing proper anti freeze, so I have hard evidence and documented and verbal now the next step ?
Good Luck and it is a real shame that we cannot take people at their word, that speaks volumns about society. Stay strong and I hope the right thing happens for you
