NO. 03-2281 CIVIL TERM
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PETITION OF D~FI~NDANT TO ~ONROLII~AT~ AID-TII~N.,;
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, H. Daniel Beigh, by and through his
attorneys, Wix, Wenger & Weidner, and files this Petition to Consolidate Actions
pursuant to Pa.R.Civ. P. No. 213(a), stating the following in support:
1. Defendant, H. Daniel Beigh, initiated this action upon the filing of an appeal from
a judgment entered by District Justice Charles A. Clement, Jr.
2. There is currently pending in this Court an action captioned H. Daniel Beigh v.
Lernoyne Auto Service, docketed to number 03-2234 Civil Term, which Plaintiff
initiated upon the filing of an appeal from a judgment entered by District Justice
Charles A. Clement, Jr. in favor of Defendant and against Plaintiff.
3. In this action, Plaintiff seeks to recover from the Defendant money owed for
services rendered for vehicle repair.
4. In the action docketed to number 03-2234 Civil Term, Defendant seeks to
recover from the Plaintiff money owed for damages caused to Defendant's
vehicle by Plaintiff.
5. In both cases, the claims, issues, defenses, questions of law and fact, discovery,
witnesses and all evidence presented in the cases will be identical.
Both cases arise out of the alleged repairs and damages done to the vehicle.
Absent consolidation, the issues in each case will need to be litigated twice, and
the POSsibility exists for inconsistent verdicts in these cases.
The consolidation of these two actions will not prejudice the Substantial rights of
any of the part/es.
To the contrary, the consolidation of these two actions will be in the best
interests of the Part/es and will allow the Court to resolve all potential conflicts at
one trial.
10. The undersigned certifies that Lee E. Oesteding, Esquire, attorney for Plaintiff,
Lemoyne Auto Service, consents to the consolidation of these actions.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court order this
case and case number 03-2234 Civil Term, consolidated for all purposes.

NEW MATTER AND COUNTERCLAIM
20. Paragraphs 1 through 19 hereof are incorporated herein by reference as if fully
set forth.
21. Plaintiff, Stanley M. Deimler, Jr., is an adult individual with a principal place of
business at 2236 Old Gettysburg Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17011. Plaintiff trades and does business under the name
Lemoyne Auto Service.
22. In or about May 2001, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into an oral agreement,
pursuant to which Plaintiff agreed to perform services on the Vehicle, and
Defendant agreed to pay Plaintiff for the proper performance of such services
(the "Agreement").
23. The Agreement constituted a legally binding contract between Plaintiff and
Defendant.
24. The Vehicle had only 1,000 miles on a professionally rebuilt engine, and was in
excellent condition.
25. Plaintiff was to perform the following:
a. state inspection;
b. change oil and filter;
c. remove the 4:56 ring and pinion gears and install 4:10 ring and pinion
gears with shim kit and positraction gear oil;
d. remove transmission and install speedometer drive gear on
transmission tail shaft;
e. remove oil pan, rear main bearing gap, and rear main seal, and install
rear main seal, oil pan gasket and oil pan bolt set; and
f. replace left rear wheel
26. Plaintiff, by and through his employees, failed to properly install the 4:10 ring and
pinion gears after two separate attempts.
27. Plaintiff, by and through his employees, failed to properly install the rear main
seal, oil pan gasket and oil pan belt set.
28. It is believed and therefore averred that Plaintiff's failure to properly install the
rear main seal, oil pan gasket, and oil pan belt set caused oil to leak into the bell
housing, which damaged the clutch, pressure plate and fly wheel.
29. Plaintiff used RTV silicone gasket sealer in the installation of the rear main seal,
oil pan gasket and oil pan belt set.
30. It is believed and therefore averred that excess sealant became lodged in the oil
pump pick-up tube, which dropped the oil pressure, causing the engine to run
hot, burning through the number 4 piston, and causing damage to the bearings,
cylinder wall and camshaft.
31. Plaintiff's vehicle repair service was not performed properly, in a good
workmanlike manner or in accordance with usual standard of such service.
32. Plaintiff had an obligation to service the Vehicle properly, in a good workmanlike
manner and in accordance with usual standards of such service.
33. Plaintiff breached his obligations under the Agreement.
34. As a result of Plaintiff's breach of the Agreement, Defendant has been damaged
and has been and will be required to have the Vehicle properly repaired.
35. Defendant expects the total cost of such repair to be at least $5,667.21.
36. At the time Defendant took his vehicle for repair by Plaintiff, he had an
agreement to sell the vehicle for $50,000.00.
37. Due to the damage caused to the vehicle by Plaintiff, Defendant was obligated to
return a deposit of $5,000.00 and pay a cancellation penalty of $1,000.00.
38. Had Plaintiff performed properly, in a good workmanlike manner, and in
accordance with usual standards of such service, Defendant would not have
suffered the losses set forth above.
39. Defendant's losses are the direct result of Plaintiff's failure to perform properly, in
a good workmanlike manner, and in accordance with usual standard, of such
service.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter
judgment in his favor and against Plaintiff, and grant him damages in the amount of
