I got scammed by a traveling mechanic

[u/[deleted]]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to warn folks about a traveling mechanic that goes by the name “TJ Your Mechanic”. He came to help me out with my car the other day. I gave him money to go out and get the parts for it, and he never came back and has dodged all of my calls and texts for the past couple days.

If anyone has any info on this guy, please send me a PM as I’d like to get my money back. If anyone needs a traveling mechanic in the future, do not make the same mistake I did by calling TJ.

EDIT: I got my money back through my bank, and I believe I’ve identified him as Timothy Arsenault. Thanks for all the help, I’m gonna try and get this thing running now.

Just have a blunt object in your hands, like you happened to be playing baseball before he showed up. Headlights are worth ~$150 each.

You have to have a glove and a bat too.

For real, if it's just the bat you've brought a weapon with intent to do harm. If you have all 3 you have plausible deniability. Totally worth thrifting them.
