held my car hostage if I did not pay you $6000 for an incomplete unfinished job. I was forced to pay $4500 to get my car. I was continually lied to directly to my face concerning the work done to it and when you would have it finished.
After 7 months I retrieved the car only to be forced to pay for time and charges 2 times over the estimate for an unfinished car.
