DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A Dinwiddie County man continues to incur problems with his truck's transmission after taking it to a mechanic only to find the repairman has left town with no signs of coming back. "The transmission was messed up, so I took it down to the Dinwiddie Transmissions to see if I can get it fixed," said Harry Turner of Dinwiddie County. "He said he would have it fixed for me as soon as I got the money [and that] it would be okay." Turner had taken his truck to the transmission shop for repair in May. According to Turner, Carlos Sosa was the mechanic of Dinwiddie Transmissions in partnership with his wife, Ashley Nichole Wilkes. 8News reached out to the State Corporation Commission to confirm this and were met with documents confirming Ashley Nichole Wilkes was the listed owner of the establishment. Turner said he was initially quoted $1,100 but ultimately paid a total of $3,292 as costs increased. He picked up the car on Nov. 5, only to see troubles that same day. "It would snatch in a gear and so I drove over to Colonial Heights with it, and that's as far as I got," Turner said. "I had to leave it at my mother's house. It just wouldn't go." However, Turner's wife, Nancy noticed a strange pattern prior to Turner's pick-up. "It started getting fishy when Harry would call and check on the update of the vehicle and at first they would say, okay, 'Well, I'm waiting for a part," she said. And then, 'Yeah, I didn't get the right part. It kept prolonging the repair," Nancy said. Turner added this had gone by for roughly seven months. When Turner tried to get in touch with Sosa and Wilkes a week after he noticed continued vehicle troubles, the two told him they would be heading to Colorado due to Wilkes' mother being sick and they would not be able to work on the vehicle until the new year. Nancy Turner also gave Wilkes a call. "I'll never forget it was December the second [and] I called one morning because I had left a message," said Turner. "I called the wife's cell phone number and I just left this random message. 'Hi, it's Nancy. I was calling in reference to a vehicle that was serviced there at your shop. Please give me a call,'" Nancy said. Nancy said she never heard back and called later in the afternoon but then an automated operator answered letting her know the number had been disconnected. “I don't understand how somebody can just be dishonest and take money from hardworking people that do go out and work for what they have," she added. 8News got in contact with the property's landlord who confirmed Sosa and Wilkes did leave town for this reason, but headed to Ohio, not Colorado. 8News crews were able to find a number for a Sosa Auto Repair in Ohio, and when we called, we were told it was the wrong number.  "We depend on him going to work with this vehicle to bring the money, you don't work, you don't get paid," Turner said. "We still have electric bills, we still have groceries, we still try to help his mom." Harry Turner works in lawn care and told 8News his truck plays a major role in not only his job but his livelihood. "It really helps with everything because I go to my jobs with it — I go back and forth from here to my mother's house to help her with the truck," he said. "So, if I have to go to the store or whatever, I need it." Turners' daughter Ashley Turner had first reached out to 8News on behalf of her father. "To see him not be able to work, not to provide for his family, that hurts," Turner said. "Reach out, the more we may have a chance with law, with the law enforcement to help with this situation. So, that's our plea. If anybody has had any interactions and bad dealings with them when it transmissions, we're asking that you please reach out. Nancy Turner echoed the same sentiment as his daughter. "If anybody else is that affected by this company business, just I just urge them to come forward and maybe with with their help, maybe we can, you know, find these people and see them come to justice, because we're not the only ones that this has happened to," she said. Turner has taken the truck to another mechanic to be diagnosed and the family is considering civil and even criminal charges. Stay with 8news, as this is a developing story.
