My jurisdiction is: South Dakota
My daughter took her car to a Valvoline oil change shop. They put the drain plug in but didn't tighten it and the engine blew on the interstate. They stalled
for weeks until she finally took them to small claims court. She won a judgement for blue book value of the car ($3785). Thirty days have passed and
no money. We will go the next legal step but it seems like the tactic is to continue to stall and she needs a car. Can picketing be an effective way to get them moving since they have been found guilty? I have found that this problem is not uncommon and I just think people should know and I'm frustrated that we have to be inconvenienced so since she has been using my car for the last 4 months.
