My car was crashed

My40thZ

Despite everything else this company needs to brought up on charges I am sure that they have recklessly driven other customers cars and it has finally cought up with them sadly it was my vehicle. What laws protect consumers. The services I paid for did no involve driving my car off their property more did I pay for my car to be pushed to is limits in the rain and crashed. If they fix this car and give it back to I now lose te value of this vehicle and by rights should be compensated. I've had TVs and furniture a broken by moving companies and not batted and eye. But this car was incredibly special to me. It's not right to have it taken away. I did two back to back combat deployments where my friends have be shot or killed I was shot in the shoulder and refused to leave the country. I stayed 8 more months after that to complete my mission. I bought this car as my return home some present. I was gone all of 2012 and some of 2013 I deployed again at the end of 2013 and just got back home. My car has been in te back of my mind. I have at total had three no consecutive months of owning this vehicle and the ability to drive it due to military training and volunteering to deploy. No some ******* business just takes it away from me and I'm unclear if I can even do anything about it. The owe me a new car with a clear title plus money in damages and recovery of brand new mods I just installed. Prior to this installation this car has been garage kept and fully stock. It's not to me as a consumer and really unfair for me as a returning combat vet. My wife is even more upset than I am. She is also a vet. She knew more than anyone how much I Cherished and loved my car. Now she tells me to stop going to the garage to look for it because it's not there. And in this **** of a state it looks like there is nothing I can do to change that. I searched for 6 months when I had free time in a combat zone to find that car. I bought it immediately without every stepping foot on the lot or even America. The country and people I unselfishly have risked my life for and left my friends famiky and everything I know and love behind. I've cheated death multiple times and returned home safe. But now I'm screwed over by the people I swore and oath to protect. How do you think that makes me feel right now. 2 to4 hours of sleep a night disturbed by rockets and gun fire for almost 24 months. I protected you now who's protecting me? I can understand now why vets get pissed of sometimes and feel like the country we protect doesn't protect us . Instead of marring my fiancé I'll be spending the money for our wedding on lawyers and court fees. Instead of going to a military school that would change my career and increase my pay I'll be going to court rooms. That's only if I can justify my reasons for suing this company that has taken my prized procession away from me. The owner was a huge jerk when I spoke to him he said I was attempting to extort him for me and all he was obligated to do was fix and return my car, that's it. He asked me what extortion was and if I knew the definition. Extortion was the shop owners in Afghanistan that live out side my base asked me for protection from the Taliban who robbed kidnapped and killed then or their family for not paying and supported their cause to capture or kill us troops. Sorry for my rant I am extremely upset and emotional about my car.

You need to get an attorney to find out what your options are. There isn't any criminal conduct, so charges aren't going to happen. It's going to be a civil action, but your ability to recover any money is going to be entirely dependent on the terms of any service agreement you signed or de facto agreed to when you brought the car in, and/or your state's consumer protection laws.

Bro, I feel ya. I've had 7 combat deployments in the past 5 years. Many close calls and huge lose of my brothers. People don't get it. They don't know your sacrifice and can't fathom what a gut check really is. Heck, even though I'm right next to the same guys on the "x" with me, I'm so thankful for them and people like you. Then you come home and realize folks don't even know a war is going on and all that matters to them is if they got fat free milk in their Starbucks! Driving my Z centers me. There is no greater feeling then coming home to my family and Z.

Patience bro. Like you said, your car is not the first they've taken on a joy ride. I know you're thinking about crushing them. Do the right thing the right way. Continue to be the hero for the people. Take them to court. It's about the principle. When you need a boost, come vent to us on the forums.
