I do not believe so. When the customer was asked to sign an agreement saying that all of the parts are the property of Mahdavi, including the original parts attached to the car in the first place, and made to agree, from Arash "never to contact or step foot on these premises again". How would this be possible? Perhaps a majority of this was caused because of a lack of communication from Arash to Sam, and we would all hope this would be the case, which I believe, myself, would be the reason. Mr. Mahdavi was very helpful and apologetic, which is appreciated and respected. Mr. Sam expressed his anger towards his brother and the situations that he had to deal with because of the previous actions. In my personal opinion, I do not believe this situation would have made to the stages of resolution that it is in now. I believe this for one reason, Mr. Sam Mahdavi stated that all of his calls are screened, and for a good reason. Sam is constantly handling the garage and needs his attention to be focused on just that, the garage. It makes sense. If he is the only one who is truly capable of resolving this issue, how would it be possible for Mr. Knighten to contact Mr. Sam Mahdavi without calling or visiting the premises. However this is currently off point. I cordially disagree Jamie, but I believe the internet action played a major role in the resolution of this matter.The end result is: Mahdavi contacted Sam Knighten in order to resolve the issue, reguardless of the reasoning behind it. This IS what a reputable shop would do, and I commend that. Thank you Mr. Sam Mahdavi for taking the time to analyze the issues at hand.
To be perfectly honest, YOU were the one that instead of picking up the phone and being your "friend's" mouthpiece IRL, you decided to be his mouthpiece on the net.

You do have something finally right, and that is exactly what you've stated above. That's how it went down and that's how it got resolved. But don't flatter yourself too much, this internet drama BS did nothing more than stir the pot. What really got the ball rolling towards a resolution was face-to-face discussions about the situation and NOT ONE person from YOUR side of the equation was there when that happened. So again, don't flatter yourself into thinking that your internet blog did anything towards resolving this.

What it did do is show some people's true character when it comes to mob mentality. Quite a few people jumped on the bandwagon blindly and now look foolish for doing so.
