So a bit of a snag has been hit… the truck was dropped off in early April to have the welding done. It was a simple swap of labor for some clean welding. Communication has been spotty at best, so today I asked what the status was and received a message that the truck needed another 40 hours of work.
I texted the original partner of the business and said that 40 hours was outside of the scope of the deal we made and I was concerned. I received a reply that 20-25 hours had been put into the truck and I would have to pay for it before getting the truck back. I never approved the work.
On Monday I’m going to try and get my truck back, but at this point I’m also concerned to see the state of the truck and really want to see a new shop get off the ground, but not at my expense. More updates to come…
