You can see what parts he used and the charge. I brought it home on my brother's truck. I drovi it about 3 miles and it tore up again. I took it back' to him. He said I didn't put oil in it before I ran I did.

I also asked his son if he put oil in it before-1 left with it. He said he did, but before I drove it I checked it over and found he hadn't, so I have" jmy three brothers as witnesses that I went and go oil and put it in. I called Honda in California and it cost me; They said there wasn't anything they could do. I took it back to him, but he tore it all to pieces md wouldn't fix it unless I paid him all over agaii.

Timperio. Here's Jhis side of thev story: "We feel this is an unwarranted complaint. We did service this engine as per lour wprk order. However, we wish to make clear th it was the engine only brought to us, not the whole vehicle. Therefore we would not put any oil into any engine prior to installation.

Mr. Watson was specifically told this at least twice upon picking up Jheteni gine Timperio said the reason Honda CqmpAny would not listen to your complaint or consider it justified is "because their, factory representative trained in service only examined the engine and agreed that it was negligence on the part of Mr. Watson for failing to put oil in the engine installed it. These representatives are saeqially trained to check motors and determine the for failures, so it was not just our diagnosis alone! on this. "We feel these complaints are unjust and uncalled for and every effort was made to determine positive cause, before the customer was refuged free service.

Therefore there will not be any refund or adjustment made on this case," he said, i 1 J.

The county zoning advisory board had recommended approval of the rezoning by a 5-2 vote on July 17, but the commission had rejected the rec-. ommendation on July 30. YESTERDAY'S hearing was on an appeal by the applicants. The county planning department, which originally recommended approval of the proposal, yesterday recommended denial "based on a prior decision of the board of county commissioners to not allow further commercial encroachment in the residential area known as the Lakeland Highlands." Deal argued that the proposed medical center, surrounded by a curb market and two churches, would not be an infringement on the residential atmosphere of the community and would be an asset to the neighborhood.
