There's a few places around Edmonton that could have used engines. I wonder if an engine was found if the sale could be dependent on having the engine checked out at a shop with a test stand or a dyno?
So what ever happened? Did you ever get the truck fixed?
Not sure why you were afraid to take legal action??
He mentioned his lawyer said "if he was OK with it". If it's a he said she said kind of deal, which it sounds like it was then it comes down to what is the law. The law is that no work should proceed without a signed work order. There is no harm in sending a carefully worded letter from a lawyer. This is a good way to, at the very least, get the shops version of events. Maybe there was a misunderstanding, maybe some kind of deal could have been worked out, etc. A letter could simply ask the shop to clarify whatHe answered that question in post #290.
Refraining from legal action does not necessarily constitute fear, in this case it appears as though it indicates wisdom based on the counsel of a lawyer.
