    save all the timing components…

    save all the gaskets and bent valves…

    small claims court. take lots of photos. put prints in 3 identical photo albums as evidence… one for you… one for the judge … one for the cloyes lawyers in court…

    AAA driver refused to tow my customers car home 3 miles when the the thermostat failed and she ask to be towed home. he put water in and said drive it… she melted the engine… i rebuilt engine. she was senior … short wait till small claims court… she won with my help… she got a check for 800 bucks. this was a long time ago… 3 days after she deposited the check… her car was stolen from the street… i had kill switches on it… club on the steering wheel… massive brake pedal lock… must have used a tow truck… i wonder who stole it… could it have been the tow truck driver.
