Mechanic Disputes Classic Car Dispute, Agrees to Return Vehicle and Refund
A mechanic at Kit Garage has agreed to refund 140,000 baht and return a classic American car after a dispute went public through automotive influencer Big V10, with the handover scheduled for Tuesday.
A mechanic at Kit Garage has clarified his side of a dispute over a classic American car repair, saying the customer has already agreed to a settlement. The case began when a half-Thai man appealed to well-known automotive influencer Big V10 for help recovering his classic American car sent for repairs. The owner had already paid 280,000 baht of an estimated 500,000 baht bill, but after more than a year the work remained incomplete and the car's location was unknown. Big V10 visited the garage, leading to a heated argument that ended with both parties shaking hands to resolve the matter. In a statement on the Kit Garage Facebook page, the mechanic said he was not given a chance to explain his side during the confrontation. To satisfy the customer, he agreed to refund 140,000 baht for parts work and has provided chat messages showing the customer's acknowledgment. A handover of the vehicle and the refund is scheduled for Tuesday. The mechanic expressed confusion about why the customer told Big V10 that the car could not be found, when the customer already knew it was at his workshop.
