Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Fla. Woes--Faulty Engine Warranties

What are my options, as far as Civil Law goes,in getting the cost of the motor refunded?

One option is to file suit. Fla. has adopted the UCC and their are express provisions for warranties. You sue for breach of warranty; Faulty workmanship; breach of contract; etc.Before you sue you may want to get a credit report on the business to see if it's worthwhile.

You can also sue for Violation of The Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (The Little FTC)There is a provision for recovery of Atty's Fees.

A second option is to report the shop to one of the investigative reporters on one of the TV stations. You can also write a letter to the editor of the paper.

Third: You can seek mediation thru a Citizens Dispute Settlement program if the shop will agree to participate.

Forth: You can "lawfully" picket the shop or otherwise get the word out about this shop.

Fifth: You or your Attorney can write collection letters and make calls.

You may want to check with any Better Business Bureau in your area. They generally have a resolution program which I find to be less than helpful; but you can try it.
