So I changed employment about 2 months ago. to Seifert car company (1212 abbott rd ) I started working at a used car dealer that had just opened there doors, 6 months ago. had good financial backers seamed solid and offered me a job as auto tech. I worked there for a few weeks and it seemed like there office/paperwork needed more organizing so i talk with my wife and she started as the office secretary. we both worked there for a month and a half. I had an engine swap i was completing at home so on the weekend i would load up a good portion of my tools to take home. I worked there Monday-Thursday 9-6, and started bringing in retail costumers who had been using me prior to my employment there. Last Thursday I packed up to leave and loaded a good portion of my tools as i planed Friday to complete the motor swap then i would be able to bring in ALL of my tools Monday. Sunday night I was loading all of my tools in the car and got a TEXT message from the owner of the company “your services are no longer required at \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*\*\*”- Steve \*\*\*\*\*\*\* " My wife got the same one at the same time. well i replayed Monday i would be in to gather the rest of my tools. sucks but such is life. (why he TEXTED and didn’t wait to tell me face to face Monday i don’t know) fast forward to this morning, first thing i drove down there, now I OWN MY OWN “GENISYS” (if you don’t work in car repair its a $5k scan tool for all makes and modals) and i had the case there with all the adapters (over $2k) I leave the tool for the other tech to use on Friday (my day off) so when i got to the shop the other tech helped me load up my tools and whatnot, but to no avail the scan tool its case where missing. I have the battery for it it was charging. some one took it with out the battery… I went to the owner he told me i took it Thursday I’m just trying to fraud them and told me to leave. Im going at 5pm tonight to talk to an attorney… this sucks Mike Anybody looking for a part time tech? ---

Is it normal for a tech to provide their own tools? That sounds so sketchy, but I have it in my mind that that’s not uncommon for skilled trades. And who the fuck fires someone by text message? Sounds like some clueless kid playing businessman. ---

ya tech’s usually supply there own “BOX”, diagnostic tools are normally owned by the shop, but with it being newer of a place i offered to use mine, there. as i had it seemed redundant to have a shop one. Ive always worked for myself so i have alot of uncommon tools. ---

If you have your original receipt (which I’m sure you do for something that expensive) take it to the local police department and file a report. With any documentation that has your personal name on it, it should be pretty straight forward and fast. ---

ya i have the recite I’m taking that with me to the lawyers office at 5, and if he wants me to file a popo report i will. I thought when the owner threatened me to leave when i was there this morning getting my tools/looking for the genisys, to tell hime go ahead and call the cops. But at that point i figured it wasn’t worth dealing with it, just go to the attorney and figure it out from there. ---

This especially sucks because you seem like such a stand up guy. You go out and offer the use of your own personal tools and items to help them out and they go and stab you in the back. I would personally want to destroy this guy, and trust me I’d go out of my way to make **sure** it happened. I feel bad that it happened to you, and if I lived at home I’d spend a little of my own time making his life a little hellacious. ---
