Ouch..... unfortunately, business acumen doesn't always follow mechanical aptitude. My attorney cautioned me to get things in writing -- contract as it were. I will not make that error again.
I am not taking anyone's side here, but if there is a genuine problem, bitching and moaning here is not going to do anything for anyone. If your complaint is genuine, you should consider calling the police, California Bureau of Automotive Repair, or filing a lawsuit in small claims court. The key thing is to do something, rather than just complain.File a complaint
Oh I agree that's why I mentioned to file a complaintI am not taking anyone's side here, but if there is a genuine problem, bitching and moaning here is not going to do anything for anyone.

He might of quoted you for a full service. When I do a full service its more then just a LOF my service includes tighten all the suspension parts hooking up Prodis and checking all the computers for fault codes and a lot of other work i think for $300.00 he was doing a service. I also do just an LOF but it's a lot less then $300.00on that note, since my usual go to guy, Travis, is no longer available- does anyone know any other independents who can do the oil change? The CSP authorized guy Alex at elite motors charges $300 for an oil change...I'm sorry but I think that's a little ridiculous....
thanks in advance for any info/advice!
From me I have them in stock one reason for the high cost was the key fobs . The key fobs were bought before the price of parts have gone down .I am in the same situation. Shipped keys to Travis to get programmed to new VCM and got nothing! In the ripoff report this guy submitted, he said he paid $2400 for new VCM. Anyone know where he got one done at that price?
Did you send him keys and the VCM ? What was wrong with the one that came in the car. Problem in programming those parts you need to install the parts into a car and then program it. So he needs to borrow a car and remove the VCM that's in the car install the new one program it remove it and reinstall the original back in .I am in the same situation.

While filing a complaint may not provide any immediate relief, it may help prevent more victims in the future. If no one ever complains, there are no consequences.filing a complaint on a guy who "vaporized" is a waste of time. He has nothing to get from a law suit. He is a "low life" Piece of s_ _t. Suing him will not get anything in return. He needs a talk behind the BARN
