Can I sue my mechanic for keeping the car too long at the shop?

Business 3 views 2 answers
He had said 3 weeks max time to fix it and it has more than 2 months and still nothing. Today he called and said that to pick it up tomorrow at 5pm, but today in the evening I passed through there and seen the car still the same as when I left it there, no paint job, no nothing..his always giving me dates and time to pick it up but he never has it.

Possibly, if you have a written contract which specifies when the work would be completed. You would then have a claim for breach of contract.

In addition to the above response, you need to consider the damages you suffered. If the delay somewhat inconvenienced you but you didn't really suffer damages, a lawsuit may not be a great idea. If the dealy prevented you from going to work and hence you lost income, your damages may well justify a lawsuit.
