WAUKESHA - A Brookfield man is suing two
area auto shop owners, alleging they’ve taken nearly six years and
almost $100,000 to restore a vintage automobile that currently sits
in several pieces.
Michael Vilione filed suit against Jeffrey Curro, owner of Curro’s
Automotive Service in Brookfield, and Scott Smaglick, owner of
S&S Restoration in Menomonee Falls, seeking $246,258 in damages.
Vilione alleged he entered a deal with the auto shops in January
2003 to completely restore his 1966 Sunbeam Tiger, with estimates
ranging from $37,600 to $74,300 to do the restoration. The contract
called for a $15,000 down payment and $2,000 monthly payments to
finance the work, with Curro paying Smaglick a proportionate amount
of the costs of the work.
