I've known Richie Woods for over thirty six years and because of me my girlfriend purchased a 2007 Subaru Forester for $15k with 82k miles on it with the agreement that we would get a tune-up, brake job and radiator flush since the radiator water was dirty and the engine timing was running rough. Richie said the engine problem could be solved with a simple tune up since he had no records of any engine work from the prior owner,"his sister" who "allegedly" was going blind and had to sell the vehicle because she couldn't drive anymore. His partner, and mechanic, Pat's Little House of Wrenches, 5656 Auburn Blvd, Sac, CA was to do the promised repairs, but put us off for two months because he was too busy during the holidays. Finally, after having the car for a week, Pat informed us that the car DID NOT need the tune-up, or the brake job that Richie had promised, but that the RADIATOR was "SUDDENLY" cracked and needed to be replaced. The only problem was that the car never leaked and/or overheated while in our possession, and Pat never provided proof of any repair or services performed. When Pat returned the car, it ran even worse than before, so we took the car to a Subaru dealer and discovered the valves were bad and needed to be repaired for $3200.It is our contention that Pat and Richie conspired to commit FRAUD and claimed that WE were responsible for the engine problem and refused to repair, or even split the cost of repair, since the valves were bad when we purchased the vehicle. NOW WE HAVE TO SUE BOTH OF THEM. Richie never answered the lawsuit and is in default, and now sells used Harley Davidson motor cycles on the CAR LOT because he had so many problems selling used cars, and Pat is still his partner in crime doing all his repair work. Richie told me at the time, that his high school son was driving the car to school for a year before selling it to us. What could go wrong with a Teen Age Kid and Turbo Engine SUV? RICHIE IS SUCH A FRAUD, THAT HE SOLD HIS SISTER'S VEHICLE TO THE GIRLFRIEND OF A PERSON THAT HE'S KNOWN SINCE 1980 AFTER TELLING HIM THAT HE WOULD PROVIDE A TUNEUP, BRAKE JOB, AND RADIATOR FLUSH!!!! HE WAS NOT AN HONEST CAR DEALER, THAT'S WHY HE SELLS USED HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE'S NOW. What a Guy. Thanks Richie Woods. read more
