pursuant to defendant'a request, plaintiff a~ade specific repairs to
the defendant's Chevrolet van. A s a result thereof, the condition still
exists. 1'here are'two sides to each and every case and the Court Wishes
to analyze them both.
My problem still exista, says the defendant. I wanted tay van repaired,
told him ~that to do and it still usea oil, knocks and rattles like a
Sherman tank. You didn't do the job properly and I'm not about to pay. I
have heard about theae ahade tree mechanica but I have never met one until
now. Judge I got took.
~cactly what he told me to do I did. .ltiere isn't one darn thing the
mattar witt? my work. I've got a Witnesa that heard him instruct me to
I
~ replace the rod and main bearing, replace a valve cover atud and gasket
€ and repair the atarter. Judge, I didn't rebuild the engine. What I
E
did Was satisfactory. Now, because the condition atill exista, I am
bei~g criticized. I told him that I didn't know if the rattle Was the
result of a wrist pin or rod bearing. We fixed one it must be the "
other.
Upnn inspection by the Court, the rattle existad. Tt?e rear of the
van was convered With oil. Maybe the van was worthy of the charges,
hoWever~ little aare. The Court is not unmindful of his and hers cars
and obviously this Was his pride and joy. The atarter which had been
replaced Worka fine, but the engine clanked at idle. Under load the _
nuisance disappeared.
