Sincere thanks go out to everyone who has helped and anyone who will help out no matter how large or small.

I have been working on Joe Dono's car for approximately 4 1/2 months.

The car was completely redone. Complete repaint including engine bay and pulling all glass and seals, smoothing out the interior panels and two toning them, building a custom sub enclosure and covering it in carbon fiber, custom amp racks and nitrous bottle brackets, carbon overlays on the roof and hatch, turbo install, e-manage install, custom fiberglass center console to mount gauges in, just a lot of work in general.

He showed up to pick his car up yesterday, Saturday August 9th, and was apparently planning on stealing his car without paying for anything.

His mother, who actually is the one financing his car, was under the impression that he had paid for materials and that he had "sponsors" that were paying us to do the labor. She wanted to know why the car was taking so long because Joe had told her it was just getting painted. He barely covered material cost and was promising to bring the very large balance in cash when the car was picked up.

I'm really not sure what was going through his head thinking he was going to get the car completely modified and knowing he has NO money to pay for it.

His girlfriend offered us $60 and wanted to know if we could set-up a payment plan. SERIOUSLY? His bill is close to $16K and he wants a payment plan.

I'm sure plenty of you have either dealt with him or heard about him. He's a detailer by trade but apparently he has no self-worth and has no problem lying and deceiving anyone and everyone.

Please feel free to chime in. His car will be for sale shortly, just need to wait on that mechanic's lien to go through

Digg - Guy gets $16K work done on car, tries to SCAM shop.

OK so you're telling us that you did 16k worth of work with NO money down and not collecting funds as progress was made? You my friend are an idiot and just as responsible for this situation as anyone.

I'm afraid to leave this thread, because by the next time I come back to it I might have another 20 pages to catch up on.

K-series.com checking in

I can't see how the shop is going to lose on this. The point that the lawyer made is what's scary...the actual amount that the shop will get. I'm in agreement that they won't just be given the car and they should start a storage fee to ensure that the car is written off.

Good luck guys, I'll keep checking back.
