Mechanic Mistrust

- The plaintiff brought his car into the defendant’s shop and insists the mechanic overcharged him and didn’t properly fix his vehicle, so he’s suing. The defendant, a mechanic of 30 years, claims he fixed what he was hired to fix and owes nothing.

The funny thing about this case is that the plaintiff is a retired detective and came to court with no evidence to back up his story. SMH.
fachidiot. he's only good in criminal investigations. civil investigations is like chinese.
Maybe he's a "dismissed" detective and that's why. A lot of these people always want to talk about how they used to be a lawyer, they used to be a judge, or they used to be a cop. But there are a lot of them who like to lie and say they're retired but the truth of the matter is they were really fired.
Well I hate to say it but this is how cops operate. Most criminal cases settle with a public defender that is so overworked they can’t really do a good job. If you just force the person to plead guilty to a lesser charge you never have to present a case.
He’s also crooked as hell and a liar.
It gets worse at 10:10. The plaintiff is a Sergeant. Normally I'm impressed with detectives in TV interviews (like 48 hrs) mostly great honest work and integrity but that doesn't include the plaintiff. Hopefully he was only chief coffee maker for the Lieutenant. He definitely threatened the defendant.
So even retired. The cop still goes around telling people he was a cop, to threaten them. Must have been a horrible cop.
They like to Bully .
I have Cop Friends and they tell me when I'm out of uniform, don't tell anyone I'm a Cop.
This mechanic is actually an honest guy and the retired NYPD detective is full of it.
NYS inspection requires a test drive of the vehicle to access for proper braking or test brakes with a certified brake analyzer. Repair shop was negligent with the NYS inspection as far as failure to test drive.
@@jessejames96there's no proof that they didn't test drive the car. The guy drove the car to the shop and didn't complain about anything having to do with the brakes so obviously they worked on his drive there. He claims it was shaking 300 yd or something like that from the shop but then drove it home 30 MI. He clearly could have happened during his drive home and later he said it started shaking immediately. If it starts shaking immediately as you leave the shop you bring it right back to the shop and then have them test drive it then.
@@jessejames96
Thanks for making stuff up !!!
NYS does not require a test drive. I lived there for many years. They pull one wheel off and look at the brake pads.
I wonder how many other courts the “detective” lied in….
My thoughts exactly
Yeah imagine how many lives this guy might have ruined
A former Detective, with no deductive reasoning. We really need to require police to have a better education.
they only need a GED. Totally agree with you.
They should be required to go to law school
He is sleazy
@@samtour8545That sure would make sense wouldn't it? 😂 It's really insane that they don't have to. People like him determine the lives of thousands of civilians and that is a scary thought.
You know damned well that 'retired detective' was trying to muscle the defendant. You pay $1600 for a 13 year old car that 'needs work'? Hell, the tires on my vehicle cost more than what he paid for the car.
Plaintiff sounds like the type of detective who would plant or manipulates evidence to suit his conviction.
No wonder why detectives can’t prove a murder case.
😂
I can imagine what he would have been like as a detective 🥺
Just like a cop to threaten someone, summon them to court , waste their time & freedom all without a shred of evidence ..
He sure he’s retired?
Now that I look a little longer, I swear the plaintiff looks like Detective Andy Sipowicz from the TV Series Hill Street Blues played by Dennis Franz. 😎... 😁 😅
Plaintiff is typical Long Island "Vinny"!
Then why were those other two goons with him what did that have to do with anything?
As someone who recently got their mechanic apprenticeship, I'd hate to do business with the plaintiff. Everything he mentioned when it came to repairs didn't involve the wheels, so if it needed new brakes the mechanics could've easily missed it. While the defendants are also shady (it's extremely easy to figure out if you have warped brakes/need new rotors), the guy clearly came in wanting as much free stuff as possible.
Congratulations !! Awesome achievement. You know people want everything free. Mechanics should have x ray vision in order to see everything about the car. Also, once the car leaves the shop, automatic lifetime warranty because it has to be the mechanics fault. Things don't just break down. Lol 😊
Congratulations on your achievement!
wow how many innocent people did this guy arrest
The judge was so done with him😂
The Retired Detective/Plaintiff had no written proof on anything. He continued to request for car work, yet had no proof that the Defendant destroyed the Plaintiff's car. I wouldn't trust him, either!
Because they're use of having no proof, but assume everyone will believe them!
@@renysimone3312 I agree with you, but there's no excuse for not having it, right?
The plaintiff’s old cases need to be looked into. Guarantee there was some crookedness going down.
OF COURSE he's an ex cop. He really thought they owed him all of that 😄
Clearly, the plaintiff is the result of it's not what you know but who you know hiring policies which unfortunately happens far too often!
This plaintiff is crooked in this court room, I can only imagine what he was like it’s a cop. 😳
2:54 I find the act of putting your saliva on paper absolutely disgusting!! 🤮
lol... I saw that too and agree.
Retired Officer seems entitled.
When he said “things like the windshields wipers needed to be replaced” he lost me. The hell do wipers have to do with breaks? Lmfao
I am so glad that that man did not get away with it!
Plaintiff completely looks like a retired TV detective. 😂
-"Why should he have to pay for your oil change if you didn't get charged for an oiled change?".
- Ahh.. it was stuff.... that we agreed.."
Sure.. My mechanic does an oil change for free all the time and if he forgets and i have to get my car somewhere else and pay for it, i send him the bill. He actually went to court, stood in front of a Judge and these words came out of his mouth.
For a retired detective, he must have been really bad at his job if at all. I wonder if his city of employment might ha e a legal issue with his work performance on crimes committed/ resolved/investigated by him?🤦♂️
He was just mad he bought a lemon and using his police connections are SO ON BRAND for police.🙄
I knew his goose was cooked when the judge discovered he'd tried to pass off socuments that were not what she asked for...
Wonder how many times he's done that with the prosecutor.
A dishonest, manipulative police sergeant... who's so uses to the court system accepting his bullshit ...
What county employed him?
🇺🇸❤️Nassau 🙏🏽❤️🇺🇸
I love how JM interupts to speed the story up when the plantiff talks
Another person wanting everything from a POS car.
A former detective who doesn’t think he needs proof in court? What a jerk! Zero evidence, and expecting to get money from the defendant.
tbh I'd be annoyed too if a mechanic said it would cost $1000 and bought a car trusting them on that to have them add another $600 right away.
When a grown man says "valve gasket cover" he needs to go buy a car with a warranty. Not an older car for $1,600
wow.. my comment took 7 months...
The detective functions on emotions. Caramba!😂
Doug: "Sorry about that", "You lost", "Did ya learn something", "Judge didn't agree", "well hey, you lost the case", " well maybe next time you'll....." "are ya gonna do anything different" = Pie in the face Doug
I can't believe that the plaintiff actually came into a courtroom seeking compensation with absolutely no evidence that he was financially damaged. The plaintiff is a former police detective & if he went into criminal court with the same "evidence" that he brought into this courtroom, I would suspect that he wouldn't win his case. On the other hand, most cops who appear in court are usually taken at the word by the judge simply because they are police officers, as though every police officer is an honest & trustworthy individual, NOT, & I think that this former police detective was expecting the same the same unconditional treatment from this judge. Thankfully, she is an entirely "different animal" than her judicial counterparts.
Plaintiff has thrown his weight around for many years... He needs to pay his part.
I'm soooo happy he is not on the police force anymore.
My man’s a DETECTIVE and has NO proof. I see how he did his cases 😂
You can’t damage a good rotor after one drive lol, you also can’t see them unless you take wheel and brake pads off. Brakes are cheap, but you don’t wanna mess up rotor. You hear it grind when you brake, you change brake pads asap. I used to be a very bad driver from 16 to 30 😂, thank God my dad was a mechanic. Parts are cheap it’s the labor that costs you, because it’s a 🤬to do.
Can't stand when the litigants try to shake down the other by telling them they work/worked in law enforcement.
Once a Bully , Always a BULLY .
Jackass cop buys a used car for $1600 and expects a mechanic to restore it to 'new' condition for a grand?!?...which is still $400 UNDER the original asking price of $3000.
Imagine how many people are sitting in jail because this 'detective' has no problem lying in court.
Harvey act like a 13 year old car is automatically a lemon. Some people take care of their vehicles.My last car I bought was almost 10years old. I've been driving it for almost 6 years and I paid 2700. No major issues. Great car Thank God.
👀 Looking for AKP'S PSA on 📣 "Never Buy Used Cars Folks". 😫😭... 😐😑😬... 🤣🤣
Toyotas, Hondas, Kias are all great cars. I bought a used 2001 Toyota Corolla with 170,000 on it in 2017 for $1300, drove it for 6 years with zero mechanical issues. The exterior and interior of the Toyota started falling apart. Like almost every door handle cracked or broke, the cloth ceiling was coming down, the driver's seat broke on one side but for 6 years I didn't have a car payment and zero mechanical problems and sold the same Toyota for $1000 after putting 70,000 miles on it.
Pull all his cases and have them reviewed
They tried. However, there seemed to be some irregularities with filing and talk of mysteriously empty boxes in the evidence room.
@@namnacklol😂
@@MyshanaDioniaMUA 🤪
Pigs will be pigs he said believe me I'm a cop
The plaintiff was a crooked cop. No doubts about that.
What kind of 👮♀️ cop is this guy? How did he solve crimes and he confused himself and everyone around him.
Doug is hilarious. His interviews at the be the best part sometimes.
Ibthought it was Darrell from storage wars when the defendant walked in. I need to cut back on the smot poking 😂
What, she didn’t look at the loads of evidence….. that had nothing to do with the case.😂😂
SO... if he's a detective, & should I need one someday, & he can't even make out a proper report on car work (or not), why would I ever want to hire him to help me out?
He was not a private detective he was a police detective his job wasn't to be hired to help people out his job was to put people in jail. Even more scary!
Thats a Dirty cop. The judge lost it
Another crooked cop. How rare and special.
Plaintiff is full of B.S. wants work done plus extra. Liar Liar pants WAY on fire!
The boy behind the plaintiff in the white shirt is low key hilarious 😂
Wait a minute! This guy is trying to get the defendant to pay for work he DIDN'T do? If he had done it, would the plaintiff have had to pay him for the work? So what is the plaintiff out?
Plaintiff is delusional!
@@michelehemlokhexwhite4310 No, I think he's an outright crook.
At 10:10 we find out he was a Sergeant. Hopefully he was only in charge of making coffee. No question he threatened the defendant. Most detectives on 48 hours with Paula Zahn or Peter Van Sant are impressive honest with integrity. This clown is the exception.
The fact that he wants the defendant to pay for an oil change that he had done at Jiffy Lube is so ridiculous.
"To a cop the explanation is never that complicated. It's always simple. There's no mystery to the street, no arch criminal behind it all. If you got a dead body and you think his brother did it, you're gonna find out you're right."
- Verbal Kint, 1995
Yea some kind of retired detective, you didn't do to much detecting now did u! 😂
I have a bad feeling there are some Innocent Folks are in Jail .... Just saying
Detective is so defective 😂😂😂😂
He was trying to push that honest mechanic to pay for items gevhad nothing to do with.
Hahaha, a retired detective. Who permitted this man to work as a detective. Hahaha.
What an embarrassment he must have been a tired copper why he retired 😂😂
The plaintiff is obviously used to judges accepting skimpy evidence because he was a cop. I wonder how many innocent people are in jail because of him.
doug and his shade. we know what to call this one. investigative shade ! fresh and new. called him all the way out. and no one is hardly ever taller than doug and mr. anderson towered over him. wow. no shade for the taller winners !
He looks like Dennis Frantz
Any retired police that threatens someone by the fact that their a retired police should lose their pention
lol 😂
A $1600 car should last a minimum of 12 years and go @ least 90K miles with no problems @ all. The defendant trying to scam him big time!!!
The plaintiff got what he paid for. Small claims court is full of people like this who don't do their due diligence before buying a car. The plaintiff wants the judge to do what he didn't do himself.
I am a new york state inspector. Theres something i don't like here.as part of an inspection you HAVE to test drive it, you have to take one wheel off, at least. Ehen you take that wheel off you have to check the brakes and thats more then just pads. Even if the pads are healthy id never pass a car with frozen pins. Frozen pins are unsafe. For inspection you look over EVERYTHING as w moral duty AND to CYA cuz when you let stuff "slide" you get people back the next day with BUT IT JUST PAST IM NOT PAYING A DIME. be a good mechanic, and have some pride and thoroughness in your work. Planitiff is a jerk. A serious jerk. He tried to throw his weight around like a jerk.
Why in god's name would one have to take at least one wheel off? Can't you just test it on brake performance? And a test drive? really? What do you pay for such an inspection?
@@namnack in NYS, Its $10 for a car that's 2 years old or newer. Cuz that's just a safety inspection, valid 1 year. For a car older then 2 years old it's $21, that's safety and emissions. You have to take at least one wheel off, it's state law as part of the inspection. Think like, if there's a crack in the upper part of the frame you couldn't see cuz the wheels in the way. Or a twisted suspension component you couldn't necessarily feel on a test drive. So ya gotta get your eyeballs on it. I take all 4 tires off after giving them all a Spin to feel for brake hang and wiggle them all to feel for worn components. I feel my customers deserve a thorough inspection, it's one thing I very much do not care if i lose a little book time. Safety's worry it . Usually pays sbout .7 of an hour on average
@@namnack sorry, didn't answer your question about the test drive. Thats also law, it's part of the procedure, you can look as the NYS inspector manual is available online, it's usually a version or two old but if you wanna get an idea you can look
@@lewydmusic Hey, thanks for the elaborate response. I guess it's just a very different procedure where I live here in Europe. You might find this interesting:
Here, inspections/needed repairs take place at regular auto shops, done by mechanics. It's mandatory every once a year.
When the car is cleared by the auto place, it goes into the system for clearance. Then randomly (1 in 20 cars, say) a government inspector is tasked to do a definitive, additional inspection of the car.
This does not include the taking off of wheels nor test drives (which seems to be a questionable thing to do, what if you got into an accident and totaled the car).
It's just a regular inspection involving the breaking, the lights, the condition of the overall carriage and chassis, perhaps emissions, not even sure about that one.
If inspection fails, it is on the car place and they might loose inspection privileges as a result.
Guess it's different in China too. :)
Take care, man...
I despise people who use positions of power for their own gain - power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Plaintiffs hypothesis is invalid.
Most of our own hypotheses are though lol. This plaintive needed to be humbled though, bullying and true strength are very different.
It was ridiculous.
Buying an old used car isn't the best idea Sir
Plaintiff prob is a crook 😂😂😂..suppose to be a retired detective smh
Just because he's a cop,dont mean he's smart!
Next time, bring something to prove your case, detective. You didn't know that?
I wonder how many people the detective has put behind bars with as little evidence as he came to court with. It was all his own opinion and no evidence whatsoever...
You can tell what kinda detective he was🤡 wondering if was forced out…..
Just imagine the amount of innocent ppl in jail and cooked up evidence in the plaintiff's past🤔
How many are in prison based on this horrible detective lazy work? His cases should be reviewed!
Mickey is an unmade bed. Looks like someone dressed him with a pitch fork.
I can see 🍩 donut powder on his dirty yellow tie...
Imagine him as cop
Him:I’m arresting you
You: what for?
Him: you did a crime
You: what crime?
Him: there are a lot of crimes you can commit, you did one!
You would think an ex detective would understand evidence.
Plaintiff is crazy
Perfect example of jerks behind badges
Sure glad this guy is retired .....................................................
Bought your daughter a $1,600, car. Father of the year material.
Lol a car as a teen is a luxury. $1600 plus $1600 to do the repairs... that's a better car than my first car was. I had a $500 Oldsmobile and I was appreciative to be able to drive as opposed to taking bus. And it was old car bit it was well worth it for a year driving it at $500. Love your children and bring them up with rules and stability.. that is a good parenting. Cars have zero to do with it!
@@just4now141 Sad for you.
@brickstine202 well i am actually the eldest of 9 kids and I didn't have much of a childhood.. my mother gave us away into fostercare to keep new husband and new babies and abandoned us to strangers seperated... my father was alcoholic so he didn't retrieve us from the system either.. my brothers were shuffled to a few homes.. and my sister and i were emotionally abused by our foster mother who played games with our emotions and had us up at 5am daily to do 2 hrs chores before school.. she wasn't all bad but it was tough.. my foster mother had me picked up from highschool with zero notice to be moved out to group home when I stayed out too late the night before with my boyfriend.. my sister had run away... my brothers ended up being molested by a foster brother that was adult in the home.. my mother ended up divorced from new husband and gave those 3 new babies up to be with a new man.. he was abusive to the younger 3 and social services told her to either remove new man from the home or loose custody of the 3... so she chose new man. And ended up having twins by him. I graduated highschool worked and saved money from 16 to 18 while in highschool and moved from group home to apartment of my own when I turned 18. I took in siblings from time to time as an adult and I had 4 sons.. my struggles weren't over... I was diagnosed with cancer at 29 yrs old. I begged my mother to come help me for a couple weeks with my sons ages 1 yr to 10 yrs old while I was on chemo and radiation... she told me she couldn't come help she had too much going on... I lost my brother to heroin overdose that same year.. so many hard times... actually, the car I spoke if above was a bit of help from my dad when I was 21 yrs old and a new mom on my own... prior to that I took bus with my baby. I actually embrace my tough times and got through them with faith and personal relationship with heavenly father and I can see where the hard times have made me who I am and an example for others.. I think parents tend to spoil children these days especially and it's OK to teach them to be appreciative and humble and to take responsibilities... as long as they feel loved and safety that is what benefits children the most. This is why I don't feel buying your teen a $1600 point a to b first car makes one a bad father... most families can't afford to buy new cars for their teens.. and if teen has a car in mind encourage them to get a Lil job so they can pitch in on it and learn from the rewards of a little hard work and commitment.
Lmao girl got a cameo in the thumbnail 😂😂😂😂
NYS inspection requires a test drive of the vehicle to access for proper braking or test brakes with a certified brake analyzer. Repair shop was negligent with the NYS inspection as far as failure to test drive.
The car ended up costing much more than he expected. The car had a lot of issues.
The girl that says "I'm going to assume it was well taken care of" 😂 she's putting a lot of faith in people. So many people neglect their cars and run the crap out of them. Aside from the everyday things like gas, oil changes, brakes, and tires, most people don't worry about anything until a small problem becomes a huge problem. What could've been a $200 repair turns into $2000 repair because it doesn't affect the way the car runs and drives until it's too late. By the time this happens, people claim the car is "junk, or a p.o.s. or unreliable etc" because they skimped on a $200 fix. It became a major issue that gets band aided together to run decent then put up for sale so that someone else can dump the 2k into the work needed to make it right.
Detective is shady AF. What is scary is that he has likely framed and sent people away. His ego is massive and his IQ is low. Mechanic seemed very reputable. Gave free labor on brakes. Good judgement.
Plaintiff with no evidence and a retired cop? 😮
Glad he lost tbh
A detective no less, with this type of reasoning. What a dunce! Don’t buy a $1600 car!
They scammed this man. He got the car inspected before purchasing “which the judge always tell people to do” their inspection was crap and now he’s stuck with a hunk of junk. They should have told him about these issues prior to purchasing which is what he paid for.
I believe that the plaintiff would definitely be the kind of person to "threaten" someone, especially considering the job that he's "retired" from. The defendant needs to move...far away...from this thug.
