Update: Once the BBB has completed its investigation and I have the report. I will wait for the EPA to provide me with their feedback report. I really hope the idiots at Roland's paint & body shop get fined by the EPA. All the dots are slowly connecting.

Again BBB is worthless! And what does the EPA have to do with any of this?

Yes, the BBB is like a union without a union. Totally worthless! The EPA - Environmental Protection Agency can look into seeing if the business is violating any state of federal laws. The EPA told me they turned over the case to the city of Houston. And that the investigation is on going. I hope the city fines the business for violating some kind of safety work environment roles set forth by OSHA. The goal is to get into the thick of it and find dirt on the business. |

Would anyone know if suing in small claims court, would you sue the business if it is an LLC? Or the person of that business example the owner? This is a legal gray area I'm not to familiar with. I read mixed reviews on google to not sue the LLC because they are protected and recovery is unlikely.

BBB is Yelp for boomers.

I would go after the owner of the business in small claims court. After the small claims court there are also upper courts that are county and state level. Even if you win in small claims court you can take your case to a higher court to recoup more money.
Have all the paperwork with you when you appear in court. Even if it takes a minute to find the document you need, the judge is always interested in documents. Make sure you have documents with the guy's name on it. Even if the business has fine print stating "is not a contract," it doesn't matter. Contact the local Rotary for advice and somebody who knows the owner. Get two or three written opinions from other body shops. Get a statement from the dealership regarding what warranty the Bodyshop voided. Contact your insurance company and ask a representative to look at your car and the facts. Get pictures of similar vehicles to demonstrate the inferior work. Before you file the case in court send the business owner a certified mail letter explaining your situation. Don't threaten, and don't foretell your next intention. Just give the business owner every opportunity to resolve the matter. If you feel there maybe EPA violations, then contact the state and federal agencies. The judge shouldn't consider this information in your case, but its inclusion is notable as a business practice. Bring a copy of the BBB claim to court. Look up state and local ordinances for business management. It will take work and time, but if you present your case with lots of details you can win. The judge may award you only a percentage of your claim, but the loser of the case pays the court costs. Oh, and don't be afraid if an attorney shows up to represent the business owner.
