Hello,

I see this is beginning to be a popular place on your email site.

Well, the busniness is EC Engines in San Bernardino.

They have had my 1986 Bronco for 3 weeks now, 2 weeks over the time it was suppose to be.

I have just been informed by the owner Eduardo Umansky that it will be one mo week.

Luckily, I had made an arrrangement with Eduardo that my price for the built engine out the door is $1344.00

when I called after the first week to see what time to pick it up, he said that the engine block was no good and he had to get another one.

I bet it broke his heart (if the is one) to not be able to charge me any mo money for this.

So, he I sit 3 weeks after they took my Bronco in, waiting another week, and then probably another, and another.

I alady have the small claims court filing papers ady I will be suing him for the ntal car for the time over the aged upon delivery date.

Oh, by the way, he is what the Local Better Business Buau has to say about his business:

He gets his business by advertising in the cycler, a large independent Circular he in southern califonria.

I have also written them to try and get them to drop them as a client.

thanks for your time,
