COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes JOHN H. BILLMAN, by and through his attorneys, Salzmann,
DePaulis & Fishman, P.C., and avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, John H. Billman, is an adult individual residing at 4 Mt. Rock Road,

2. Defendant, Circuit City Stores, Inc., is a corporation with a place of business
located at 5800 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County pennsylvania.
3. On November 12, 2001, Plaintiff brought his 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer to
Defendant's store at 5800 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, pennsylvania.
4. At the time and place above related, Plaintiff was advised by an agent of
Defendant that the Defendant was willing and able to install a remote starter/security system
on the aforementioned vehicle, and Plaintiff left the vehicle with Defendant for the purchase
and installation thereof.
5. Several hours after initial delivery of the said vehicle into the custody of
Defendant, said Defendant advised Plaintiff that Defendant was unable to properly install the
subject equipment.
6. At the same time and place as related in Paragraph 5 hereof, Defendant
advised Plaintiff that in attempting to install the subject equipment the Defendant had caused
certain damage to the Plaintiff s vehicle.
7. At the above related time and place, the Defendant's employee advised
Plaintiff to take his vehicle to a repair facility of Plaintiffs choosing to effect a repair of the
damage to Plaintiff s vehicle.
8. On November 13, 2001, Plaintiff delivered his vehicle to Rufe Chevrolet at
1601 Ritner Highway, Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
9. Said repair facility determined that a fuse had blown during the aborted
attempt by the Defendant's employees to install the remote starter/security system on
Plaintiff s vehicle.
10. Said repair facility also discovered that numerous wires had been cut and
taped together by the Defendant's employees.
11. Said repair facility also determined that the attempt to repair the damage to the
wires by taping such wires was not done in a safe, good or workmanlike manner.
12. To repair the damage caused by Defendant's employees in the aborted
installation effort, Rule Chevrolet had to disassemble the steering column and ignition lock
assembly; replace the steering column harness and SIR coil; and replace a fuse.
13. As a result of the damage caused to Plaintiff's vehicle in the attempt to install
the remote ignition/security system, Plaintiff was required to pay to Rufe Chevrolet the sum
of $613.38. A copy of the subject invoice is attached hereto and incorporated herein as
Exhibit "A".
14. As a result of said damage, Plaintiff was forced to rent a vehicle from
Enterprise Rent-a-Car for three (3) days at a cost of $152.97. A copy of the invoice for the
rental is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B".
15. All repairs and rental payments claimed above were necessary and proper to
repair the claimed damage and the amounts paid for such repairs and rental payments
represent the fair and ordinary cost of such and are the amounts actually paid by Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests damages against Defendant in the amount of
$776.35, said amount being subject to arbitration under the Cumberland County Rules of
Court.
