This needs to catch someone's attention!! There is a man on craigslist who is advertising automotive repair work.  He has posted several ads stating he has 15 years experience, and that he is the cheapest around ( I know, you get what you pay for), I contacted him via email, and set up a time for him to fix my car.  He was suppose to remove a faulty part and replace it with a new one.  What he did was remove the faulty part, but did NOT put a new one in. He "rigged" it to work without it. ( It was my heater core).  He had me drop my car off at his "shop", out of Wolf Protection Agencies garage off of Hanson Blvd, MN.  Thinking that he did a good job, I then had him to the brakes on my fiancee's car.  He was suppose to replace brakes, and rotors.  Well, after realizing that I had no heat in my car, I tried to contact him via email, and the cell phone number provided.  He did not return any of my communications.  When I brought my car to a second mechanic to figure out the problem, the 2nd mechanic called me and said "you are gonna be real mad".  The first mechanic removed your heater core, but in the process, broke a vital part to the "housing" and never put a new heater core in.  He just stuck a piece of copper piping in both hoses and clamped it shut.(to circulate the coolant  ( hoping I wouldn't find out until winter, when I needed heat).  I was livid.   We then inspected my fiancee's car and realized that he put in a pair of used rotors, not new!! I then did a little research about this guy.  His name is Matt Bair, he advertises under "Matt's Repair and Automotive ER", his "fiancee" Jennifer Atwood takes all the phone calls and sets up the meetings.  I found a few different cases where these two have scammed people out of their money. They claim to have fixed the car, and will be glad to give you a written order for the work. They always ask for money up front for the work, but end up scamming you out of money. .  He is taking advantage of people. He needs the attention of this news station.  I have emails, texts and such of him admitting he was wrong, and giving me a really poor excuse as to why he didn't put in the part",  Please Please Please take a few minutes to put this guy outta business.  This is a cash under the table operation that I am sure the IRS would love to know about. When I notified him of taking this to conciliation court, he called my cellphone and threatened my life. I have filed a report with the Brooklyn Park PD. Somebody stop this scam artist! I don't have the $75 dollars for the court filing fee, but when I do.  I hope others will follow suit
