This guys name should be circulated, so it doesn't happen again.

Hey guys, You have to be really careful here. By putting up a list of "scammers" we would be treading into the territory of legal slander, which is a place none of us want to go. We could recommend shops that we have had good experience with, and leave out the ones which are dubious, but what would prevent a real "scammer" from arranging to have their operation listed as a recommended one? Also, what about the legitimate, competent shop that for some reason was neglected when this list of recommended shops was assembled? It seems to me that we have a pretty good method which is already in place, and that is when a Fordbarner asks online for recommendations of a shop near to him that can do a good job. The answers to the frequent question invariably overlap. Happy motoring!
