What is the maximum for small claims court in your area? That way you don't need an attorney. Get an estimate for repairing the damage from a dealership and send it to him registered mail. Inform him that you would like him to pay for the damages that he caused and that if he doesn't you'll inform the Better Business Bureau and will initiate legal action. Document everything. Every exchange or conversation. Even if it's just verbal. take notes afterwards.

WTF! damn, just reading your story makes me pissed. i cant stand people like that mechanic that wont even tell you that they have no experience at what they're doing and could give two ***** if they mess your car up. Thats just f*c*in ignorant. sorry to hear about this, you should definitly win the case, but now you're out a car for a while...hopefully you wont trust your car with just anyone again.

That really really really sucks.
In my experience, 90% of mechanics out there are not qualified to work on a 1970 dodge. 99.99% of them are not qualified to do engine work on an Evo.
Finding a mechanic able to work on Evos CORRECTLY is as good as gold.

also if there are any CERTIFIED MITSU TECHS that are willing to give me a noterized letter that states that it is possible that by installing 1 arp headstud torqued more than the stock bolts you can cause serious damage to the head/ head gasket/ block, in terms of warping the head, and or cracking the block... i have alot of spare parts laying around i could make it up to you?

That's very sorry to hear man. I"d be throwing up as well if someone did that to my car. Well I hope its a lesson learned - dont trust ppl u dont know. This is why I have waited to have head studs installed- Turbo Trix is coming to FL tomm and they're doing it for me. Good luck man
