i couldnt get my car back if i didnt pay.

i was speechless that he said since i didnt ask them to prep & sand, they didnt do it. since i only asked them to paint & mount, thats exactly what they did.

Yes.... take the Sheriff there and take your car back. He can't hold it. He will sue you for the money, but he can't hold your car.

i just found out my leather seat (driver) is scratched pretty bad. not bad enough to cut through but very noticable, probably about 8 lines...
whoever sat in the seat to move my car, had a knife or something sharp in their pocket...

If the job was not satisfactory then stop payment on the check, Visa, MC, Amex. However, if you paid cash your hosed. I never ever pay cash just in case of these types of incidents. I always use the Amexp. because I can always deny the charges if I'm not happy with the quality.
