Advice on dropping car off at the interior guy

[tcrist]

Among other things you have to worry if the shop is even going to be there tomorrow/next week whatever.

Have you heard about the Aqua Pool and Spa issue? Large company, many people working for them (sales as well as installers). For what ever the reason they told all of their installers they had no work for a week on a Friday (I think). They come in the next Thursday to pick up their paychecks and the building is empty. Even a sales person that has been on vacation shows up to get his check. The place is shut down. The same day that they told their installers not to come in they took a deposit of over 7K for a pool install. They are also in the middle of a complete landscaping job worth over 100K.

They closed their doors and everyone is SOL at this point.

Now I do not know how it works anywhere else, but out here, I believe that if you have your vehicle in a shop to have work done, and the business closes, it could take you months to get it back. If it is a fresh build and you have not registered it in your name yet it could be even longer and sometimes never. You have to be so careful these days.
