Hello ****! Could you please specify your civil law issue? And could you also indicate your location, as legal advice may vary depending on jurisdiction?
I took my car to get a diagnostic. They told me that the transmission needs replacing. I brought the transmission and took the car to them. The very next day the car was ready as soon as I turned the corner the car started shutting off. I called and the guy told me it’s going to perform that way because it has to get use to the transmission. Later that night the car cuts completely off in the middle of the street. I had to get it towed home. The next day I called and they came and got it and held it for about two weeks just for them to say my motor is gone. The has completely stopped working after taking it to their repair shop
