A: Just about any attorney could write the letter you describe. I don't know what kind of working relationship you have with the shop, but it's possible that it could be more practical to simply contact them yourself in a less confrontational manner and ask them what is causing the delay and where the job stands. If you aren't able to work things out that way, then you could think about legal remedies. You'd probably rather spend your money on the detailing work you describe rather than in court costs. It's up to you. Good luck
