To all customers of VolvoWerks:
I have been in contact with some of you regarding the situation with VolvoWerks, and I drove down to their shop in San Jose this morning.
The front door and front window had been boarded up with sheets of plywood, and a sign painted on the sheet covering the door said "Open from 10AM to 5PM".
It was ~10:10 when I arrived, and I didn't wait around. There was no one around to ask if they were still doing business, so I left the store.
But my assessment is that they may have disappeared, and with it, all the money that we have deposited for our restorations.
I think it may be time to begin to pursue legal action, but civil action may not be sufficient. Since Volvowerks accepted on the order of thousands of dollars from each individual customer, you would normally seek recourse in a small claims courts. But if the total of all of the money paid to Volvowerks amounts to tens of thousands, this may trigger some criminal threshold.
It may be prudent for all of us to pool our resources and go after Volvowerks together, as in a class action suit. Except the amount of money involved could result in the ability to pursue criminal procedings against them.
Also, I have read that Volvowerks was not a licensed company, which may mean they are also not incorporated. If they are not, then the individuals have no corporate shield, and are individually liable.
Those interested in at least start the process of engaging in a group effort to recover our money can contact me at my personal email address, lacerdad@sbcglobal.net
