Aug. 23, 2021—Customers of Reliable Automotive Repair in Las Vegas, Nev. claim they lost money on repairs never completed and discovered their vehicles were missing after the shop closed unexpectedly, 13 Action News reported.
The outlet spoke to three customers who said the lot surrounding the shop was always full of vehicles waiting to be serviced, until one day the shop was closed and the lot was found empty.
The vehicles were later found to be towed to local towing company lots.
