A customer wasn't happy with the work, so he decided to hold the repairman at gunpoint until the work was completed to his satisfaction.

Hmmm? It's usually the customer who gets held up?

How true.

Don't they call it Highway "robbery" when you are getting overcharged by a shady contractor? Sounds like he was preventing a robbery...

Hey, watch it guys. Be nice to those of us that are in the business. We are not all crooks.

I'm just glad it didn't happen somewhere in our great state

[Majek]

That's why WE are supposed to make first contact with police. His kid tried to pawn that off on the poor repairman. Sad deal.

I have been satisfied with my A/C repairman.

Gives a new meaning to the saying " The Customer is Always right"

No matter how shoddy the work was, it sounds like the wrong thing to do to me. That is what the courts are for. A number of years ago I paid 1200 dollars out of my pocket for car repairs. I picked the car up and I could tell right away that something was wrong. I took the car back to the Garage and they tore into the motor again. Later they showed me a gasket that the Garage owner said was put in the motor and was a wrong gasket for that car. I picked the gasket up and kept it. The next day I picked the car up again, and as I was driving home, The motor fell apart again. I called the garage and the owner said he was not repairing it again unless I wanted to spend more money. I sued the Garage in small claims court for the original repair cost, my court expenses, and the additional repair costs to get the car back running. It came out close to the $5,000 max of the small claims court at that time. I showed the Judge the "wrong" gasket and the write up on the second repairs where it showed the Garage had replaced the gasket the second time. I won. Pulling a gun on someone for shoddy repairs is a no-no.

Ranks right up there with shooting over stolen parking places, and bad wait-service...
