My son has a 2005 2500 Silverado with a blown 4L80e transmission. He pulled the transmission and took it to a small shop in Peru which had provided good service to one of his friends. Guy said it would be 2-3 weeks. That was 9 weeks ago. Monday last week, was promised it would be done by Friday, today the guy said it is only half done, and can't tell him how much longer it will be. If he wants he can come by and pick it up unassembled and pay for the work he has done. We are dumbfounded and are at a loss of what to do. I can't believe any reputable shop would want to touch this without completely starting over, so paying for 1/2 the work is money down the drain but may be cheaper than finding another salvage unit and starting over.
I know there are lots of hot rod/car guys here. Any suggestions on how to handle this? I feel we've been patient/understanding as long as we can. He has been getting by on a totally worn out Honda he purchased to get him through a power train upgrade (he rebuilt the engine, and got a reman transfer case), but we only planned on 6 weeks for all that. I've never considered suing anyone, but this about has me there, but if we sue I don't trust anything that he puts together, and who knows how much longer it will be tied up in court!
Looking forward to the wisdom of INGO.
