There are plenty of unsatisfied customers who might claim they got nickeled and dimed, but Bob Wilson?
"I got pennied," he laughs.
It started here at NSK Motorsports in Fowlerville where Wilson says he took his son's motorbike to be fixed. After six months in the shop, "it lasted 2 minutes," Wilson says, "Seized up in the yard."
He took it back to NSK, but after three months, gave up.
"I called police and they came and assisted me in getting the bike in the truck and I took it straight to Howell cycle," Wilson says.
From there, he went straight to the courthouse and filed in small claims court for the money he'd already paid.
He won $335 dollars, and Friday, the owner paid him--with five 40 lb. bags of pennies.
"If he'd put as much time into fixing my bike as he had into unrolling pennies, I think my bike might have been running," Wilson says.
The owner of NSK motorsports said when we first contacted him that he'd paid $335 in legal currency. He says Wilson has a vendetta against him and he wants this whole thing put to rest.
\Wilson, though, put it to rest by giving the money away. Months ago, hurt on the job, he got help from Oakland Livingston County Human Services. Thursday night, he gave them the pennies from the man he calls "a sore loser."
Because they are a non-profit, they'll have the bank roll and count the coins for free.
The owner of NSK Motorsports says, after learning Wilson donated the money, that changes his feeling on the situation. He feels he's a prankster who's been upstaged.
