Vehicle Repair Dispute Resolution

Summary

Without a written agreement, resolving disputes over vehicle repairs can be challenging. Gather evidence of your work, such as photos or messages, and keep records of the Cash App transaction. Consider obtaining statements from witnesses if available. Consulting with a local attorney can provide guidance on how to defend against the lawsuit and protect your interests.

I am now being sued for * dollars.
Hey ****, that sounds like a tough situation. Do you have any written agreement or documentation regarding the repairs you did and the payment you received for it?
No written agreements or documentation was made and the payment was made with cash app
Thanks for sharing those details, ****. Since there’s no written agreement, this case might come down to proving the quality of your work and the subsequent actions taken by the other shop. Here are some points to consider:
- Gather any evidence of the work you performed (photos, messages, etc.).
- Obtain statements from any witnesses, if possible.
- Keep records of the Cash App transaction.
