Matt Shaughnessy High Groove Automotive/High Groove Auto Repair False Diagnosis On Vehicle - Asked For Money Back - He Said To Sue Him Boise Idaho

High Groove Auto Repair or High Groove Automotive AKA Matt Shaughnessy

Hello, so it all started when my car started acting up. I knew i could fix myself, but did not want to spend the time so figured i would hire a local small time business, thinking we could help each other out. After 5 days he finally shows up at my house. Payed him $50 to diagnose my car and tell me what is wrong. After one hour Matt tells me what was supposedly wrong w/ my car. He told me for him to fix it that it would be a large job. When he left my home he explained that he would have to talk to a friend and see if he could use some floor space at his garage and that he would call me back later in the day to give me details. Well, finally i called him back 2 days later to see what the scoop was.

He said he had 2-3 more customers to deal w/ before he could get to me. Later he explained to me how much of a job this will be. I explained to him that i was aware of an alternative way to do this job alot faster. He responded by saying it was to much of a liability to do it my way. He offered for me to do part of the job and he would do the rest(easy part). To make a long story shorter  Diagnosis was incorrect. I called Matt and informed him of this. He informed me of something else to try, and that also was incorrect. Finally i Paid a real mechanic wich had diagnosed and fixed w/ in 1.5 hrs. Next i text Matt and asked what the possibility of getting my $50 back for false diagnosis that cost me about 3hrs of my own labor and 30 more mins. from a real mechanic.

He instantly put up his guard, and was downright rude. Matt responded by telling me i was harrassing him and his family because it was a weekend. Told me i was very innopropriate. Next he said he would file harrasment charges with Boise PD Online, and told me to sue him. Fortunately we have an attourney in the family, so legal advise is free. Papers are being filed in small claims court, and will be served to this scammer. As a business owner myself i should have seen the red flags. Out of state license plates, does not accept anything but cash, cannot spell(what mechanic can), and drives a turd of a vehicle, that he bragged how he scammed an old lady out of, because she did not know what she had. It was her dead husbands car. We will hit him where it hurts(in the pocket).
