How did this go down? Did the owner bring the car to the mechanic and you paid via phone/visa...or did you pay the owner directly to have it done...In that case you'd be out of luck with the PPI. But if you paid the mechanic directly then I suppose you could have had them fax the results to you directly...they would then give the keys back to the owner that in fact brought the car and let him know that the results went to you and he would not be entitled to them...just wanted to know the specifics because I intend to make an inquiring/harassing call this A-Hole.
