That's why you avoid Circuit City for anything complicated.

I don't understand why the store is in Vernon Hills, IL, and the papers are from Glen Head, NY. Are we missing something to this?

You're right, Andy. The owner probably would have been much better off just going to the dealership and having the work done.
And with $12,000 being bantered around for the cost of repairs, I can hear those legal beagles barking now!

Ditto. I took my '99 Lumina in for a simple aftermarket stereo installation, and they did not hook up the back light, which is a problem while driving at night. I took it back, had them 'fix' it, only to not fix it and now it refused to accept a CD. I threw up my hands, grabbed the manual, a flash light, and a screwdriver. And fixed the problem myself... in 15 minutes.

why does he have a NY quote for repairs when he is using a circuit city in IL? I'm guessing the car is not drivable so something seems fishy.
regardless, CC really got in over their head on this. No, I wouldnt use them but at the same time they should not sell something they cant deliver on.

What is with that RO from the Honda dealer? Looks like a 3rd grader wrote it up? They dont have a computer in the service dept of that Honda store?

how exactly was there $12000 worth of damage? from the pics i saw, it just looked like some jacked up wiring and maybe a few interior pieces.
