I have an old Blazer that I’ve put more money in than I’ve paid for it. I’m over it at this point and I owe another $1400 in repairs. If I choose not to pick the truck up and block the shop’s number, what will realistically happen? Not trying to be edgy.
You might make your life easier if you talk it out with the shop first. Like mechanic’s liens are a thing, but they can be a slow process.
Also though, never mind what you paid for it. What’s the current value of the Blazer? Is it more than $1400?
