RE: Boycott Jim Ellis VW
1) Jim Ellis VW should be ashamed of itself.
2) I think the courts will find in George's favor.
3) If George can't/won't countersue for damages(expenses) after this is
over, I'd be willing to
chip in a few bucks to help him recover.

Subject: Re: Boycott Jim Ellis VW
i've heard of many people with bad experiences w/ jim ellis, myself
included. when i first moved to atlanta a couple of years ago i brought it
in for the gas tank recall. when i brought it in, i had one leak. it had
three when i brought it home. they had somehow managed to rip a cv boot,
smooshed my new tt exhaust till it leaked by overtightening the clamp, and
loosened my oil filter so that oil was spraying all over the engine
compartment (wtf?). the response to the cv: "it's an old car, the boot was
probably ripped when you brought it in." The axle was a year old; i have
fairly open 15" rims that now had grease all over them. pretty sure i didn't
miss it before. to the exhaust, again "already like that". then how come i
just heard the leak on my way home? and the oil filter? "no one should have
touched that". no shit. so they suck, and i don't recommend them.
unfortunately, i'll be in d.c. on monday, but if there's anything else i can
do, i'd be happy to try and help. gl,
