Taking Money & Doing Nothing

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- The plaintiff says she brought her car to the defendant after she hit a pothole, but it was in bad shape when she got it back. Another shop told her there were no new parts, so she claims the plaintiff ripped her off. She’s suing for her money back, plus pain and suffering. The defendant says he made the repairs, and the plaintiff only called two months later to complain. He’s countersuing for stress and aggravation.
Case 29-096
His mama must've said just go on there and tell the truth son lol
I was saying the same thing.😂😂😂
@@gongzilla527 bless his heart lol
Lmmfaoooo he has manners. I’m happy he didn’t clown.
Stop it 🤣🤣🤣
@@nobodyspecial1733 Exactly, I appreciate his honesty too.
YOU CAN TELL HIS BUSINESS AND HIS WORD IS HIS BOND. THIS IS A GREAT GUY TRYING TO LIVE RIGHT AND HATED HIS NAME WAS THROWN OUT THERE IN A BAD WAY. I PRAY GOD BLESSES HIS BUSINESS CAUSE HE SEEMS LIKE ONE OF THE GOOD ONES.
Agree. I hope he looks at all these positive comments. He is going in the right direction. He needs to hire someone or learn how to do receipts and book work so he doesn't get into trouble with the irs. I would bring my car to him if he wad in my city. He is very passionate and customers will see that.
that's right...his sincerity was convincing...he is just a stand-up guy who is honest and believes everybody else will try to deal with him honestly and respectfully...he'll learn, unfortunately
Yes he is she lost a great mechanic and an even better individual. They don’t make men like this anymore gentle giant . His mom should be so proud of him . I know I am . I hope God multiplied his success ten fold
Hallelujah! I hope he continues to prosper. He seems genuine, committed, and hard-working. God bless you, dude! Get some good help- and I hope someday you have several car repair shops. 💐💞
WHY ARE YOU YELLING??!!
This is a prime example of why you should always tell the truth. He could have fought & disrespected this woman court, but admitted to his mistakes. I truly appreciate his honesty. I am glad he made it on the show.
I am too and I hope that his business is always a success; as long as he keeps up the honesty and great attitued.
I would take my car to him. I would, however, want paper work and approve all repairs.
He was very honest!! And hope he continues to prosper!! I feel everything happens for a reason he needs to hear the judge tell him to get his paperwork in order .. I pray that he don’t let this one bad experience keep him from ext grace to people
i love his honesty
I would have liked for the judge to ask the plaintiff if she had received the written estimate in the past One thing for sure is that now he'll probably have to hire a secretary to keep up with the paperwork and the customer will now be paying more for each job
For those saying "he took it too personal", most of us don't own our own business, so it is probably more personal than some other situations.
Truth!
He made his own bed.
No business records?
No proof?
If she had kept a civil tongue in her head he would have never reacted so _predictably_ !
@@t4705mb6 Right
Facts
I'm a mechanic, and I can say that I would take my car to him just for wiper blades if I could. He is passionate and someone that should be trusted. I hope his business thrives, and I hope he can find some help that is just as passionate about the work as he is.
I really like him and you can tell he is trying to run a legit business.
Yes. He really seems like a good guy.
How do you explain his bookkeeping if he is trying to run a legit business? He takes in people's cars and performs services but does not provide an itemized list of what he did and what it cost?
I'm a mechanic; he seems like a good guy. Perhaps, he really was overwhelmed. As a human being, relatable. The car sounded like a piece of junk, tbh...
@@leir2005 He works alone and probably works 12+ hours a day. That isn’t easy whatsoever. Auto shops usually have people designated for bookkeeping. The mechanics don’t book keep, they have one job which is to fix the cars. I can imagine it would be overwhelming for him to do all of that alone.
He really is. He is so soft spoken and respectful. I do feel that if she was still having a problem she should have called him and said HEY ITS STILL HAPPENING take it bk to him and see if he can correct the problem. You can see it in his face and hear it in his voice he is overwhelmed and he looks extremely tired and exhausted. But law is law. Right is right and wrong is wrong. He’s only human and not all mechanic are perfect. But there’s a way to go about things the right way
Now why did I start crying when the defendant gave his speech at the end?! LMAO. I've obviously got some other stuff I'm dealing with and his passion/frustration made it come out of me. He seems like a nice and genuine guy! I hope the best for him and his business - he deserves it!
Man!! I thought I was the only one! 🥴😭🤣
Me too😂
She didn’t know Walmart did oil changes🤦🏾♀️🤣 the judge to rich for me lol
Right 😂 maybe I’m biased because I used to work in automotive at Walmart back in the day
I didnt know that neither lol
Facts
🤣🤣
@@yolandac9334 either*
I hope he is not discouraged and continues growing his business. As business owners you take a lot of risks when first starting out because you don’t have the money to make everything perfect. What I like about him is that it is clear that he cares about his customers and his reputation. I think he will grow from this experience.
The defendant seemed very scared & overwhelmed . I feel bad for him.. he needs more help.
I don't feel that bad for him because he didn't take responsibility, just basically tried to get pity for being too busy. When you're in business you gotta learn to say no and accept your limitations instead of rationalizing doing a poor job and/or not providing paperwork.
oh and go back to school
@Keyonna Crum Girl that is a black man trying to be his own boss. We all have to start somewhere & knowing our history it’s sad you’d even say some cheap bullshit like that. Another thing is I can have sympathy for anyone I want ..... as a HUMAN ..... Try it.
@Keyonna Crum Now you’re talking about something completely different. Take care .
@@regisfilia He’s an entrepreneur and works alone. He probably works 12+ hours a day doing manual labor. That isn’t easy at all and he’s been doing that for 2 1/2 years. Have some empathy.
The defendant needed help. He’s a sweetheart and i feel bad for him.
I like this guy! “Yes the IRS is coming to get me!”😂😂
Aww the defendant is making me sad 🥺
Truly wish him the best of luck ❤️
I think he can handle it. He's a big boy.
I feel bad for the defendant... Hes running a business that he probably started with no experience and no guidance. Good for him for trying to better himself. Hopefully this is a good learning experience.
Wonder how bad you'd have felt for him had he fucked up your car and didn't make things right?
@@robbbietheim2096 Thats how I'm feeling. If you don't have experience then you don't need to be opening a business. Car repairs are serious. He could mess up and cause a person to die.
I guess you fell for the defendant’s woe is me act 😒
@@robbbietheim2096 He said that he would have made things right except she called him yelling profanity about him cheating her; which wasn't true. Everyone can make an honest mistake but still must be given the opportunity to correct. 5 years of excellent service and all of a sudden you call up swearing? Nope, she can have the $600 but she'll now have to "try out" new mechanics to find an honorable one or continue with Pep Boys and Firestone (both beyond expensive).
I believe that he had experience because she'd been taking her car to him for 4-5 years but he only started his OWN business 2.5 years ago.
Pain and suffering, stress, and harassment are not awarded at this show! 😂😂 Better take that over to Judge Mathis!
Fr!
😆😆
Lol or judge Judy! “The only person suffering here is me” 🤣🤣
Pain and suffering or only awarded if it's a medical injury. She said this in an episode
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The plaintiff is wrong to call and cuss him out and accuse him of cheating her after using him for years with no complaint. The guy was genuinely hurt 😔. You are free to take your business elsewhere of course or give him a chance to rectify the work.
facts
I don't agree there's a certain level of professionalism regardless of the profession. I wish I could stop doing with people just because they cursed in me or they said something mean
she'll be back after firestone charge her 50 times more
Exactly
😂
Firestone is extremely expensive
Yes!😮
Hopefully he learned his lesson and will get all his paperwork in order for every transaction and his business
Forget the paperwork. He didn't even do the repairs right. 🤦🏽♂️
Do you really think that guy actually does paperwork? 😂 he don’t do no invoices unless the customer asks for one I’ll garuntee it 😂
He did have the receipt for the part; the judge saw that he bought the control arm at the time of her car being with him.
Great guy. GOD in Jesus Mighty Name help his business. I’m rooting for him.
Bless the plaintiff too Lord.
... do you think they'd be missed if you didn't ask for them to be blessed?
@@d.wright6635 doesn't hurt to wish people well
@@d.wright6635 what's your issue with the comment though? Why are you being negative about the comment? It was a very nice positive comment and here you go with your negativity..smh

I’m praying for this king 🤴🏽 he’s trying to do be a good man and do right by his people. She really hurt him on a moral level . She’s gonna regret that one day. 🖤 best of luck to him.
I felt for the mechanic, he seems like a good guy who just made a mistake. But he seems like he is really trying. Hope this at least helps him to firm up his processes.
the man has to always have paper work on every situation. he said he was rushin around an overwhelmed. every transaction has to have evidence.
@@sebastianabsolution655 I agree and I think he learned that lesson now.
Did y'all not hear how he did the repairs wrong? That's worse than not having paperwork. Supposed he messes up one day and somebody's brakes stop working.
@@DavidKen878 Yes, we heard it and we agree that she should have won the case, we are just saying that unlike a lot of litigants, he had good intentions and seemed like a good guy who made a mistake.
@@DavidKen878 why are u yellin playah?🐗🐗🐗
In the future, I hope she takes her car elsewhere; for the mechanic's sake. If this man has provided excellent service to you for 4-5 years, yet you fly off the handle and start using profanity WITHOUT allowing him to check out the problem, you're not the kind of customer that I want. Obviously, his prices were fair and his work was credible in the past; why would he all of a sudden change?
Exactly!!!
Dang I think he was about to cry I felt bad for him but the law is the law
@marion weeks - Me too! Poor guy he did his best. I hope he continues to do the right thing.. he was really hurt and maybe scared that his shop would be closed down..
😢
Wow. Don't be so emotional.
She was frustrated that he didn’t have time and she was influenced by Firestone’s statements. No doubt they really dragged him and made her feel like he was trying to get over on her. I’m a Firestone customer, they love to make themselves look good lol. Seems like the defendant really means well and she probably should’ve given him a chance to correct his error, but the plaintiff is well within her rights. I wish them both well.
I used to use Firestone a lot because they were located near my job. After I changed jobs, I started taking my car to a "family" auto-repair business. Excellent repairs and much lower prices. I started to buy my tires at Discount Tire Co.
@@4everThoughtful that’s exactly why I started using them for tires and oil changes....it was conveniently near my job. Now that I’m home it’s time to let go. Sounds like you made a great choice!
Judge: "Walmart does cars now too? Is there anything they can't do?"
Me: "I don't know...pay their workers fairly?"
👍🏾
That's pretty funny 😄😆🤣
Yep 🤣
Yea when they clean their act and attitude up
they also can’t open enough checkout lanes
Defendant looks completely overwhelmed and depressed. It sounds like he made it too personal.
I felt bad, looked like he was on the verge of tears when the Judge first started talking to him
I think he's bothered because he has taken good care or her for years and probably has bent over backwards for her. Now she cursed him out & took him to court. All of his business dealings with her have been honest and now she's accusing him of deliberately cheating her out of her money. He's probably more hurt & frustrated and not depressed.
Hopefully, he'll get his paperwork together.
It sounds like he may need to find another profession
He looks frustrated to me AND that he's done many repairs for her and always been overly fair; it's overwhelming frustrating that she'd flip out on him like that. She can go elsewhere and pay Firestone's and Pep Boys' unreasonable prices.
@@neededtobesaid4275 💯
He seems real hurt, she never SHOULD HAVE CUSSED HIM OUT, that is very ignorant.
He seems so overwhelmed like he is about to explode!!!!! I wish him well in all his endeavors
This is why we in the Black community have issues with KEEPING our money circulated in the Black community instead of it going elsewhere. You make ONE mishap and all of a sudden your the worst business person on earth. But you ignore ALL those other times service was great for you. Do you act this way when McDonalds makes a mistake on your order? Or if Target or Walmart messes up with customer service? Jumping to conclusions, cursing, secretly recording him, all of that isn't necessary. He should def itemize and get consent from his customers. It's not hard at all to do. We also have to be business minded as well when we open up small businesses!
Facts! I mostly shop black owned and I've never received poor service, poor product etc. If I do I would not turn my back on them because as you've stated, I've had poor service from Walmart, Target, Macy's I can go on and on and I haven't turned my back on any of them.
Enough of my rambling, you are absolutely right!
I was thinking the same thing he's been her mechanic for 5 years and she didn't give him a chance to correct it. Damn shame.
Black businesses and especially small businesses practice working on "Excellence" this will help the b dollar circulate within our community effectively
Amen
Agreed
The way she looked when the announcer says “ripped her off” twice
She was using him for over 5 years (over ten times) and when she has the smallest problem like adding oil, which is literally THE SMALLEST problem you could have with a car aside from needing gas, she goes off on him, then secretly tapes their conversations, and sues him 🤦🏽♀️ she might’ve won the $600 but she lost out on a great mechanic
Adding oil is one of the biggest problems you can have with an older car, actually...
@@drejones1823 It's one of the EASIEST things to do is the point she was making.
U forget the next mechanic told her he did everything wrong and charged her for things he didn’t do. In her mind she thinks he pulling her leg. She should have given him a fair chance cuz of their history
Fine upstanding young man. Good luck to his success. I hope he makes the proper changes. 💙
Hard to own your own business and the first several years is all about learning. I think he actually seemed like a good guy and was really overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of paperwork to keep track of for business owners.
He’s such a sweetheart. If I lived in Ohio I would use him. He knows how to take responsibility for not handling his business and he fixed the situation by hiring an accountant 👏🏽👏🏽. Kudos to him and bless his hear.
It’s is weird that she didn’t go back to him to figure it out after years of using someone.
That’s what I’m saying!
The plaintiff and defendant both seem like good people. The plaintiff did do the right thing and its ridiculous that people are bashing her in the comments. She didn't put him down or cause a scene like some people would have. The defendant was refreshingly honest and seems overwhelmed.
Walmart has been doing oil changes for close to if not more than 20 years. 🤦🏽♂️
Tires too
Right like ?? 😂
Wal Mart been messing up people's car.
Poor guy he a giant teddy bear. But he’s right perhaps she should’ve been a grown up but I understand her to we work hard for our money.
I felt his pain when he was talking. He seemed like he was telling the truth. He worked hard for her and did the best he could and as soon as there was a problem she came cursing him out. He's right, he cant fight her, he cant take her money the only option he had was to say go somewhere else. Seemed like a good guy.
He thought they were friends and sounds like he might have even done favors for her
They both seem like nice people, he just seems like he needs a break and a hug 🤗 he needs a hug
I agree
Both sides seem to be nice and reasonable people... things just didnt workout on this instance!
Awww you can tell he cares.
11:19 Greatest monologue ever! Even Judge Milian was holding back tears!
I agree with everyone he seems like a good, honest, standup guy... seek the Almighty for the wisdom needed to succeed brother
He does seem like a nice guy. Poor dude
The defendant is a stand up guy .. his word is bond . He knows he made a mistake and he’s trying to get it together , He’s trying to do things the legit way , we’re only human so I totally get the fact that he was overwhelmed with customers and it’s only one him !
He looks OVERWHELMED right now.
True...maybe anxiety
Cracked me up when he says “so I’m not doing things right, and yes, the IRS is probably gonna come after me”, but I’ve always worked on her car(s) and I can’t believe I’m here”! Poor guy, but yeah the judge ain’t gonna buy his excuse that he’s been overwhelmed at his job! Hire some help then.
It's not always that easy to just hire. You have to have it in your budget to do so. He might not
This was actually a good case. I liked the honesty of the defendant and the diligence of the young plaintiff. I do hope that she at least apologizes to him bc a job not done correctly shouldn't instantly prompt a verbal lashing. When you talk bad to ppl, they have the right to not deal with you. I'm in the customer service field and if someone curses at us, we're allowed to not speak with them until they communicate properly.
I'll say this brother is like me, trying to help ppl but in the end they try to screw you over
YESSS always!!
She look so meek and quiet, but cussed him out so bad it hurt his feelings 😁
IRS please do not come for him! Give him grace pls!
She’s been going to him for 5yrs! I don’t see why she could try to give him a chance instead of suing him-talk about burning bridges. D guy seems like he needs more workers n assistances on his damn business n not give ppl discounts
I feel like he has done her a lot of favors and good work for her over the years... I feel for him good ppl like him aren't common
He seems like such a nice guy. Trying to do the right thing in life. Wish they could of settled this out of court.
He took it too personal , I wish him well , he seems like a nice guy .
How he took it too personal? That’s that man business
My uncle was just like him...a good mechanic, loved working on cars - a good guy...didn't like to do paperwork. He got taken advantage of as well. Get a bookkeeper. Bless your heart it is in the right place.
“No one not doing everything right, yes the IRS is coming after me.” 💀💀
He’s being so respectful. I feel bad for him because I really do believe he was in over his head. I hope things are going better for him now.
Stop running from God. Come to him and let him give you the strength that you lack. Let him heal you. Cry out to him and accept him as your Lord and savior. God is good!
All the time! Amen.
My favorite part is when he said "yes! the IRS is gonna come and get me"😂
God-bless him I wish him the best
I used to own a shop. A lady came in with a brake problem. I diagnosed it, gave her an estimate, got an OK, ordered parts, made an appointment and then when she came back and did the repair. The repair was 2 front brake hoses. 10 months later she took her car into another shop because she had another brake problem. She told the mechanic there she knew it couldn't be brake hoses because she had brand new ones on it. The mechanic looked at her 10 month old brake hoses, that had been through a winter, and told her they didn't look new to him. She came back into my shop and threw a fit. She claimed I never bought the new parts and never replaced her brake hoses. I told her I had and asked her if it was working properly after she picked it up? She said yes but she still didn't believe I had replaced her brake hoses. I opened my filing cabinet where I had all of my vendor receipts. I would write the last name of the customer on every receipt to keep them straight. I thumbed through them as she watched all the way back to the previous October where I pulled out the receipt with her name printed on it. She still refused to believe it and I ended up giving her the $58 bucks she had paid me for the parts so she would just leave. I knew the mechanic at the other shop that had told her the hoses weren't new. He saw me a few days later and asked me if I had just replaced them because it didn't look like they were new. I told him I replaced them 10 months earlier and he said, oh, sorry, she said they were brand new so I told her they weren't. He apologized profusely because she got really mad at his shop. Funny think is the new brake problem he had to fix was just worn brake pads so she was still driving with the new hoses I installed for several years afterwards. But I at least had good records.
The defendant is a sweetheart and made a mistake! Unfortunately sometimes your mistake land you in court! Just a learning experience!
I love this guy!! I hope he gets it together.
What a sweet man. He’s living and learning. He looks and sounds like an honest man. Hoping the best for him and his business
The Defendant is a Good man. May God Bless Him.

I really like the guy in this situation. He’s just trying to start a business. You don’t know everything fall about the business but that’s a thing you learn as you go, so I really support him.
Another learning curve for the defendant! He'll be just fine 😊!
I feel people fail to understand that when you're doing business with someone, there's no friendship. I can't tell you how many times I've had to say this to my (musician) friends...my friends know that I mean business when I bring this up (in the beginning, IF I use a friend). Essentially, what happened with this case is the fact that he was overwhelmed and that he works alone. He needs to work on his time management skills (pace yourself, be honest with your customers and own up). It's clear that he loves his job, however, he has trouble managing his time. Another thing people fail to understand is that just because you have a long history of doing business with someone doesn't mean that they can't be disappointed with you for not following through. It happens. Therefore, if you do a poor job, they have the right to bring that to your attention. Fortunately and unfortunately these are hard lessons. Let's just hope that both parties have learned something. Best.
Running an auto shop is hard reaaallly hard
Poor guy, I feel for him, seems like he has a good heart.
I wanted to cry for the defendant 😓
He’s so polite 🥺. Bless it
He's going to have to get a thicker skin to do well in the auto repair business.
It's not about having thicker skin. It's about you been knowing of a person for 4/5 years never had a problem. Then when one thing happens they take sht to the extreme. It's like damn you coming at me like I'm at F'd up person instead of talking to me like an adult and try to figure out what's wrong. When you're a good person and a MF try to play you like you're f'd up is hurtful.
@@Vanessa_Martinez didn't think of it like that, good point.
If you're overwhelmed you don't need to be working on people's cars. Period. Fixing a car is expensive. You mess up one thing and everything else is thrown off. He should've just told her he needed more time and fixed her shit right

Sure, if you obtain 2 oil changes a year, that's twice. If any other service is needed, that's another time.

The way she's standing...😮
Seriously? I've lost count of the number of complaints from consumers about Firestone. Wtf??
Trust Firestone as far as I could throw one of their shops. Have a strong feeling Firestone lied on the defendant to get money out of the plaintiff. It's the sort of trickery done in my city. I have a good mechanic, but on the extremely rare occasions I have to go to another shop, I demand to SEE the part and work done. Any shop that has the rule "No Customers In Bays" I won't use them. Thinking of installing a hidden camera inside hood of car just to see what mechanics are and aren't doing while working on my auto.
She walked in like a school bully!😂😂 Case just started, n I'm already on the fence with her!😅
Brung is NOT a word.
The plaintiff is another example of an individual that gets in their vehicle, hopes it starts, crank the tunes and put their petal to the metal!
I know individuals like this, they never check their oil, the vehicle can be making an odd noise, they crank the stereo louder, hell they barely know how to put gas in it!
Then the repairs pile up, they want them done as cheaply as possible (I get it, upkeep is expensive!) then complain after the fact!
