Ok I figured it out
So here is the primer body brim said was in December
And so I'm not the smartest man but if in December it's striped and primed
Separated from the pan
The pan painted as shown above - which it wasnt.
And he's is driving it for personal use without permission
Then how in June can I find it looking like this |

Tim
We're trying to make arrangements to to as many "customers" at the Stratford location at the same time to collect their parts at the same time.
Jim the land lord had been offering brim as many options that would not cost him any money to correct this situation.
Jim actually offered to absorb the company and all brim had to come do is work. Just show up and he won't do that. He was going to come up with a work schedule based upon time there or money spent and even pay brim at the end of the week.
Brim took one call yesterday. I left him one message and 2 text messages.
Jim is offering him police protection to show up and do the right thing by sorting out the cars. Another thing he can do that won't cost him any $ |

Moderator note:
I did some massive clean up of all the non-Brim's feedback and talking about other companies.
Note that it may not have been perfect because so much was intermixed with Brim's stuff and other companies.
Let's stay on the topic of Brim's now please. _________________ How to Post Photos

After the initial post last week one person was going back and forth to pick up his 2 cars. Lots of normal shuck and jiving but an appointment was made to pick up mid morning on the 12th, finally late on the 10th. Me and one other trailer were readied to go up and load the 2 cars and bring them home. The evening of the 11th the call came in to the owner and what I was told was..... Could not be there till late in the day at the earliest, Brim is working/ has money to be able to keep going. Brim then suggested to pick up next Sunday (either out of touch or being smarter than we think) Litchfield weekend.
Brim I figure your reading this.... The games are not helping your case one bit. I for one have a life and customers that I actually deliver what I promise to. I have stuff to do and when my plans are changed at the last minute I can't do what I should have done. Your record of games in the past and then playing more games and making promises you will never deliver on will not help your situation out one bit. |

the worse part is, the first one there, the first one to get the parts....so many folks have cars blown apart that I am sure many parts are intermixed...
you guys must act fast....I have a feeling the last one there will get a shell, and no parts.
clay, it sucks that you were lined up and ready to go, just to have him screw up your plans....when it affects someone who was contracted to help extract the cars, it just goes to show that his games make life miserable even for shipping.... _________________

What you guys are all missing is that you all have a contract with Brim to work on your cars.
When you gave Brim your cars and money to work on them, you gave him the right to posses and work at his leisure...
If you do not have a specific time frame set in writing as well as penalties stated for not meeting the time frame, there is little you can do.
You can not simply go take your car at your will. Brim has a contract with you to posses the car until he agrees to release it, most likely only by doing so with each owner agreeing to release Brim from any further obligations...
Be careful to not put Brim in a position to sue you for breech of contract.
You will need to go to court and get a judgement to get your property back.
I believe its called a replevin. Ask your attorney.
I rented a shop to a guy who did Porsche work. Same MO as this Brim guy.
ppl had to get judgements to get their cars back..in pieces no less...It was a mess to clean up and everyone lost except the guy who took ppls money
stuff like this happens all over the place every day.....
fact is, if you can't prove otherwise, He could claim you all still owe him more money for work he's done... |

he is not a legal shop...
do I do deals on a handshake? yes...90% of the time. the other 10% is for folks who I feel are looking to try some shady shit.
I get stuff done when I say I will. it's sad to think stuff like this is going to make me use my (very aggressive) work orders. I say aggressive because they were set up by a team of automotive attorneys who have a pretty good idea what it takes.
it's sad to think the days of a handshake are over. but, the big deal to me is constant communication. I constantly update clients on a regular basis. it's only fair... _________________

And the appointment was a accepted by him to pick up the cars.
Laws may work IF he was legal and upheld his end of the "contract" |

It's called a "sole proprietorship"

perhaps he has has time to seek legal advice on his part....
When backed into a corner, things can get very ugly..
Not sticking up for the guy at all..
But all you "victims" should seek legal advice as well.
can't stand when ppl sucker $$$ out of ppl and don't follow through with what they say they will do. |

jesus christ dude...
from NH DMV:

http://des.nh.gov/organization/commissioner/p2au/sbtas/sbtap/auto-body/
....
Quote: |
In 2009, the Small Business Technical Assistance Program (SBTAP) created an outreach initiative to help auto body/collision repair facilities comply with regulations on air emissions and management of hazardous wastes. As part of the initiative, DES offered multiple workshops through out the state and conducted over 100 site visits.
For air emissions, the focus was on the new EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources - 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart HHHHHH. The deadline for existing shops to certify is March 10, 2011.
Recent DES surveys show many auto body shops are in violation of the Hazardous Waste Rules. All auto body shops are hazardous waste generators, since the shop must clean spray guns with a solvent based product. Even if using water-borne coatings, the primer and clear coat spray guns must be cleaned using solvent. The biggest concerns are failure to conduct a hazardous waste determination, illegal disposal of hazardous waste, and poor waste storage container practices. Survey results also indicate that 38 percent of auto body shops have not notified DES of their hazardous waste activity, making it difficult for DES to help the shops come into compliance, and exposing the shops to additional penalties. This is also a loss of state revenue estimating over $34,000 in notification fees and over $20,000/year in small quantity generator fees.

he has to meet EPA compliance. rest assured, he doesn't. I am a sole proprietor as well...big deal. I am also licensed in the state of Connecticut to do what I do...
the guy wasn't legal from day 1 _________________

His business RENTS (or did) the facility where he does the work.
It is the facility that is not in compliance.
Turn the landlord in on that..if fact, someone should tell the landlord to get his shit together as all those fines will fall on him as the property owner.
the automotive industry is highly unregulated when it comes to being a "licensed" mechanic, body/paint guy...
Anybody can change another's brakes, charge whatever they can get to do so, and that is a business transaction. no license required. no penalty for doing so if "caught"
plumbing?electricity?medicine? those are regulated and require individual licensing.
change out a 200amp panel for someone else, or do a kidney transplant without being licensed, get caught and see what happens...
Fact is, this Brim guy is going to skate clean for all he's taken and will take.
I'm only stating that those who are going to retrieve their cars/property should do so through proper channels so they do not find themselves in the hot seat. |

WEll......
if anyone still cares about this piece of garbage
he was pretty much given a month to do what was right, given many options to many things that did not cost him a DIME. For a month he has given his landlord and his customers countless excuses. One after the next. I tried to get something from the money I spent but the white flag is waving high. I have already made one call to the Somersworth PD and he was given today as a deadline to get back in the shop and work to prevent any further actions. Well from me at least, I cant say what they told me, at least not on a recorded line, you can private message me for that.
Well today he texted me and just by chance he got into a accident that is preventing him from making an appearance, who would have figured, what are the chances - a mechanics car breaking down and a mechanic that cant fix it especially if it means calls to the Police Department about his crooked operations.
Sooooooo
If anyone else would like to get involved in the public beating of this piņata I suggest you contact either the Sommersworth Pd, the Stratford Pd, Jim mentioned above. Individually they may say its civil, but if we all file our reports , A Little Birdy Told me it stands a better chance of getting passed through to the distric Attorney and be considered Criminal. How much is true, I done know but typing a report is free for me and will make me feel better. My call goes in tomorrow and my report Planned by August 1.
Ask for Officer Capmpbell in Sommersworth.
I done care if brim reads this and gets a heads up, your a looser.
As far as I know no cars have moved, jim who holds my car has been great to me, only issue is brim will NOT tell me where my 2085cc engine is. Crook Probably sold it. Has anyone bought one from him lately? |

don't know if it was yours or not, but he was trying to sell an engine the day of/before Litchfield bug in. 2 people told me he contacted them to see if they wanted this engine.
if it wasn't yours, it was someone else's _________________

If anyone is looking to beat the piņata .
The Number for the Strafford Police is
603-664-7462
ask for sergeant Randy Young
he could not stress enough strength in numbers. Me you , someone you know, who got screwed by brim, don't let him get away with it any more
There is blood in the water
And thank you for the heads up on the engine. I also had a gentleman in Portland contact me concerning brim trying to sell an engine. Still its missing. |
