Did an auto shop take advantage of you?
let’s hold them accountable.
When shops overcharge, push unnecessary repairs, or exploit people in our city, the whole community feels it. Fraud drives up insurance, raises costs, and makes it harder for every Detroiter to thrive.
Fight back!
Your story is how we stop shops from stealing from you while keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Our Victim → Victory program shows you how to turn your experience into action.
Every shop shut down is justice for our community.
who we are
•
who we are •
-
We are a collective of neighbors, victims, and organizers who finally had enough. For years, we watched the same shops take our money, skip the work, and hide behind the "civil matter" loop.
We started as strangers, each with viral social media videos dealing with the same shop. The flood of comments and bad reviews lead us to our mission.
-
To break the cycle of fraud that syphons billions out of our neighborhoods and keeps our insurance rates the highest in the country. We turn individual losses into a collective force that the system can no longer ignore. We are here to shut down the predatory shops that drain our city and ensure that when a Detroiter is robbed by a mechanic, they actually have a way to take their money back.
-
We provide the professional structure the city and state refuse to give us. We take individual stories that usually get ignored and turn them into a unified, forensic case that the system can’t overlook. We consolidate the evidence, bridge the gap between "civil" and "criminal," and apply the collective pressure required to shut predatory shops down and get our people their money back.
