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.
That’s a good way to end up in small claims court. Instead of abandoning the vehicle just talk to them. Chances are you’ll be able sign over the title and call it good then they’ll sell it to recoup what they can on the bill. Small claims court and mechanic liens are a lot of trouble they won’t wanna go down that road either. It’s not at all uncommon it happens all the time
