Anyone know Matt G. that works at German Auto Service 5244 N 7th St?

I picked up a 93 Audi S4 shell from him and remembered on my way back to Tucson I forgot to grab the title. I figured he could mail it to me easier than driving back to grab it that day.

Well the first excuse I got was he put the wrong address on it and it got returned. Then he told me the girl in the office at his work forgot to mail it and he would put it in the mail last Friday. I was out of town for a few days and when I got back I still have no title.

Now he will not respond to text, email, or telephone calls. I really hate to waste the time and money to drive up there to his work to talk to him in person, but right now I see no other choice.

If any of you are friends with him, please have him call or text me. I have put a lot of time and money getting the car driveable and need the title before I go any further.

you could get a bonded title and the DMV will give you a 90 day permit while you wait for the paperwork to go thru. Just an Idea

I may end up doing something like that down the road.

For now, I would just like to hear back from the guy.

Had almost an exact situation happened to an buddy of mine years back in Maine and it resulted in a funny anecdote. It came out winded so feel free to ignore this post if you have better things to do.

It was a junker truck, but a big full size Ford F150. He tried and tried to get the title but the seller split town. Maine is a horror show for titles, so it sat for a few years till the current owner was trying to figure out how to get rid of it. It was nearly worthless at this point, all rusted out and not running and the best he could seem to do was PAY someone to haul it away. Since it had never been titled, I told him to just ditch it somewhere. He agreed and since a snow storm was rolling in, I had an idea. Now if you've ever been or known a red neck with a big truck, you know that pulling trucks out of situations, especially ones bigger than yours, earns you manly, tough-guy bragging rights. I used my hopped up GMC Jimmy and dragged the thing with 4 flat tires up onto a huge snow bank. I was actually impressed I made it over the snow bank myself, not counting the full size pickup with flat tires I was hauling. This snow bank was at the corner of the street where the plow trucks push the snow for that street during a storm. We were near downtown where any vehicles parked on the street during a snow storm will be in the way of the plow and get towed. That pile of junk sat there for maybe 20 minutes before we saw a plow. Maybe 20 more minutes and it was gone. Assuming it was never stolen in the first place, the original prick might even have been charged. We never heard a peep though and saved my buddy the disposal fee!

Whenever I buy a vehicle I always bring a generic bill of sale,and never exchange money before looking at the title to make sure it is not a salvage or rebuilt......When I sell a vehicle I always have the title within reach ready to exchange for funds.... I dont understand as it is an essential part of the transaction......

I have dealt with Matt before and didn't expect any issues. Yes, I was stupid for leaving his place with the car and not getting the title. The car is a shell that had already been parted so I made sure to ask him about the title situation before I made the trip up from Tucson with a trailer to get it. It was so much work loading it, and all the spare parts I got with it, that I totally forgot about the title until I was miles down the road.

I wrongly figured it would be easier to mail me the title than to turn around and drive back that day.

Apparently he got my texts and or E-mail because I got the title in the mail today.
