We took vehicle to chad blake on 02/26/2019. Three weeks was the time frame of repair. We gave him $1500.00 for parts. He never touched vehicle for 3 months. Everytime we would contact him--if he answered the phone which was rarely--he had lots of excuses. Finally in June he tells us it couldn't be fixed and needed a new engine. He claimed to have one coming from his brother for less money. We gave him money for the motor and waited and waited. He finally admits he got one at O'reilly but could not get old motor out so he couldn't do the work.
He says he can't refund our money because he spent it on himself. He agreed to meet us so we could get the vehicle but the key and parts was locked in his building and he failed to show up. We had to pay a tow truck a second time to get the vehicle. Now he says "Take me to court cause I just don't have any money".
BBB has complaints almost word for word as our experience. He has multiple liens against him and he has a lengthy criminal record.
