Retraction of Ocala FL shop endorsement (or) I got screwed

[Tanthor@domain.elided]

Hey everyone.  
       I posted months ago about this great little Italian auto shop I found 
in Ocala, FL.  It was called Luigi's Auto Repair.  The elder Italian man that 
owned & operated it was very knowledgeable about Alfa's Ferrari's and 
everything Italian.  However, the shop changed hands sometime this summer.  
When I had electrical problems with my spider I had her towed there.  I asked 
to speak to Luigi's and was told he wasn't there at the moment but Steve 
could talk to me.
       The short version is that every time I called only Steve was 
available.  I never got the feeling he knew what was going on or understood 
my problem but was assured that Luigi was working on my car.
       I went in a day later to pick up my supposedly repaired car.  I drove 
into the lot expecting the usual exotic cars out front.  I got worried when I 
saw nothing but old jeeps, camaro's and toyota's.  I asked the girl in the 
office and found out Luigi had sold the place to Steve months ago.  Luigi 
doesn't work there at all.  So I was lied to and the wiring problem is the 
same as it was before.  He replaced a part that was not in need of repair and 
didn't find the short I was having problems with.  The man was completely 
unfamiliar with Alfa Romeo's.  I took it to a Mercedes shop in town and am 
hoping for better results.

Just wanted to post this in case someone had thought to try the place on my 
recommendation.
