A1 Auto Repair ripoffed a grandmother They pretended to repair my car charged me over $700.00 Mt Pocono Pennsylvania
I'm a grandmother who hoped to get help from A1 Auto repair shop. Because I did not have a man present with me, A1 auto found me to be a great candidate to rip off. They managed to swindle me out of over $700.00 and hid my car on their lot pretending to fix it with different parts they said it needed. When it was returned and paid in full, it broke down the same day. All they were doing was charging the battery. The car had to be left on the highway and now I don't have a car nor my money. They saw a sucker coming. I won my case in court and they still will not pay me even partial payment which was awarded. I am heartbroken. Would they treat their own mother or grandmother this way???

Pat,
Glad to hear you stuck with it. One more thing, make copies of these responses and fax it or send it to them. I'm in the state of CT. If I ever see an A-1 auto I will be sure to wreck them with my word of mouth. I have a huge customer list and portfolio. Let them see what you have done and how millions have read this.
Congratulations

Thank you Marc,
Guess what yesterday I was sent a check from the court. They thought that because I'm alone and older that I would not fight this cause. Native Americans have had it too rough not to fight anymore...I was the last of the hostile indians. Thank you for your support.

The judgement didn't go anywhere and there are things that can be done. Writing letters is cheap, so start writing. You can have his licenses suspended, have him arrested, just talk to the right people. I know of a $25 judgemant that caused a man to lose his driver's license for ten years, and caused him all sorts of problems during that time. Make this company your new hobby.

I went to court with A1 Auto

Living here in the poconos and being native american is the hardest thing ever. I took A-1 Auto to court and won a partial payment. A-1 Auto had thirty days to pay, they ignored it. I had to spend $281.00 more dollars to start a sheriff sale on them. A-1 Auto was served papers and still has not paid me any money nor did the the papers do anything thus far. I feel like I'm living 200 hundred years ago, and everyone in this town is related. Maybe someone out there can give me another suggestion, as I am very discourage and I don't have faith in this court system. I look forward to hearing from you(before I become one of the hostile indians as they say) smiles.

Haul them back before the judge and let them explain their contempt. I had to do this once, and the judge gave the owner of the shop two choices. Pay me within two hours or go to jail. It will also help the next person that they rip off.
