Complaint Review: Darin Vega - Marimar Beach Florida

So "Darren" Vega, which is how he was spelling his name, called Kevin Paulsen to have repairs done to his 2000 Mercedes S430. Kevin already repaired his Limo that I have seen multiple reports on this site about. A little background is that Kevin does auto work on the side for extra money for our family from time to time. He does not have a business, but does call it Kevin's Discount Auto Repair on his craigslist ad. Kevin sets money back from every job to pay his taxes on money earned and Kevin is probably the most honest, hard working man I know. He genuily cares about people and is a helping man whenever he can be so. There are many occasions where he does work for elderly and single mothers for nothing or next to nothing. He has multiple people who can refernce to his honest, exceptional, very reasonable work. He has a full time job, at a company he has been at for 9 years, where he is a field supervisor. Therfore he actually does travel out of town frequently. He is a wonderful husband, he is a fabulous, dedicated, amazing father, he is member of a local motorcycycle club that is very involved in the community and charities, he is a great friend who will do anything for anyone.

Now to the issue Darin Vega attepted to drive his vehicle to Kevin's home to have some repairs done to solve an electrical issue, Mr. Vega broke down at Verizon Wireless and Kevin had to go pick the car up. Mr. Vega attempted to jump the car himself and in the process did a lot of damage to the vehicle, including busting the air bag suspension so it was not driveable. After a week of being told what parts were needed, Mr. Vega finally ordered the parts. Kevin's wife picke up a $100 deposit that took a few days toget from Mr. Vega's wife. Kevin then picked the parts up from a residence in Mobile Al when they came in and when Kevin came in from out of town. He immediately put the parts on and fixed those issues, after hours and hours of searching wires and trying to find the problem to the new issues it was determined that the only way was a special tool for Mercedes. Well, as I said before, this is just side work so it was decided he did not want to purchase the expensive tool. On Nov 12 2014 Darin was told there was nothing more that ould be done and the remaining balance could be paid for the work done and he could pick the car up. After weeks of run around, "in meetings", out of town, ect. Kevin informed Darin he would be taking legal action by filing a lien and that he would owe storage fees as well, plus cost for filing a lien. Now he is threatneing Kevin Paulsen with reporting his car stolen, which our local police are looking forawrd to that false filing of a report, we have already given the texts to the local police. We have contacted an attorney who has explained in detail our rights and steps to take, which we have and are continuing. Darin Vega is threatening Kevin with blasting him and his business on this site, which he is all over so he is very familiar with, threatening to have Kevin on news station in Florida, where he actually lives, but we do not live. I was somewhat shocked to see Darin and his brother Dan Vega posted all over this site as scam artist but I was more shoked they are still able to do this to people. I guess you will all see Kevin Paulsen on here soon because Kevin is not backing down, he's calling his bluff and exposing his scam ways. I am Kevin's wife Wendy, we do not take threats lightly and will be exhausting every legal right we have.
