This is the same letter that I wrote to the Better Business Bureau on 5, July 2014:

I left my 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora at Dale Davis repair on 31, March 2014 to havethe cylinder heads repaired. The information on the site says the vehicle will be repaired in 3 to 5 days. I paid $1000 on 21,march 2014 and have nothing but stories about how much trouble he's having doing the repair. I sent another certified letter to Dale with another $1000 andhe signed for it on 2, June 2014. Every time I talk to Dale on the phone, he's very rude and just tells me another story.

I left a message Thursday 3, July 2014 telling Dale that i was calling the Better Business Bureau, Dale left a rude message for me on 6,July 2014. Dale says that I can call anyone that i want and no one is going to do anything to him. He also added that he can't wait to get me out of his life. I don't know what to do at this point because he still has my vehicle. I also want him to honor the price he quoted on his site and nothing more.

I spoke to the BBB 2 weeks ago but didn't file a complaint then because Dale called me that same day to tell me he would have my car finished in 3 days. Just another lie. I wanted my vehicle back in 3 to 5 days not 3 to 5 months.

I picked up me Oldsmobile on 16, July 2014. The left rear wheel cover was missing. The engine was filthy, almost as filthy as the shop they work in. Although the engine didn't overheat, at the toll both the engine oil light came on, the bell started ringing and the display read Low Oil Pressure. Of course I documented everything by recording it with a digital camera.

This is not my engine and is definately not a rebuilt engine. It backfires through the carburetor at times and always shows a low pressure indication on the display. I'm afraid to drive it in this condition as the bearings might sieze up. For someone who claims to be doing this great service, he sure has caused a lot of stress. This is my daily driver that just sits here now un-usable for $3288 plus, the fuel to tow it to him and go pick it up. Beware, this is NOT the place you should think about taking your vehicle for repairs.
