If you have this in writing file suit, have him served, and get it done with.

Trying to find people on a forum seems like it might not be the best idea... at least should not be your main focus. Get a lawyer involved, thats the only way you will be able to apply pressure on this guy.
There are 2 sides 2 every story, neither of which are the truth in most of these situations.
Depending on the structure of the the now defunct company it will be difficult to collect. He would have represented the company in making the agreement, if the corporation/company has no assets good luck in collecting personally from him. You may also be in a long line of suppliers, landlord etc, trying to collect money from him and his company.
Even in a limited corporation, illegal or deceptive practices can be held against the proprietor.

I agree.
If we go by your statement, then there would NEVER be a victim when someone does rip off another person. According to your statement, there are no thieves in existence. But if a common theme surfaces, because of the OP's heads-up then it is easier to recognize it. If you had an appointment to service your car at that dealership next week, are you not better off knowing to have your alert flags wisping in the air, than going in blind and ignorant?
If someone has done shady practices in the past, they don't get a free-pass by changing locations and/or company names. They have to earn back that trust, and what better way than trying to pay back prior debts?
You'll notice I clearly said "MOST!"
I've been witness to about 10 of these "UNHAPPY" customer situations on this site alone, from doing work at different bike shops in the GTA, being the proverbial fly on the wall.
I've been in the shop when customer X comes in and does not like a particular situation, then oddly, the details change significantly when they come on this site and state the "FACTS"
Does this happen all the time,, absolutely not, but it does happen, exactly the same way some people/shops will take advantage of a customer from time to time.
I could easily deal with you in your place of business and dislike something about this situation, then come here and make a bunch of unkind remarks.
Until you have the opportunity to provide your side of the story, is it really a public service announcement?

Yes you did. But I still think that in order for word to get out, and out that common theme, it requires being posted.
I can give you an example..how many times to do you hear of people having issues with SON? Now..for contrast, how many do you hear of any issues at Powersports? The point I am making is that once a person is armed with a heads-up, then they have to use their own discretion in choosing to deal with a company whose name comes up more often with negative feedback than others.

And in this case the OP is throwing stones at everyone and anyone.
He says he has a signed contract, so why are the terms of the contract not being executed via legal avenues?
The mechanic in question is now working for another company as an employee, he will have zero impact on that organization's business practices.
There are a TON of mechanics that are brilliant at fixing things, but running a business is not their strong suit, so things get a bit messed up, perhaps this is why the guy went back to being an employee.
Perhaps the guy went back to working on the tools only so he can pay this dude back?\
The way the average motorcyclist nickles and dimes these small shops to death, its no wonder they have problems and go out of business.
It also seems pretty obvious that no one else has had a similar experience(at least on this site) this thread has been bumped repeatedly by the OP and not one other relevant comment has been made.

I know of "Hazy" through mutual friends and have told them to make him aware of this thread a week or so ago.
I will say threatening his current employee status at Barrie Subaru is also a criminal act where the guilty party could face possible jail time. Sorry about your luck but this is not the place to be saying these kind of things. If you have a problem with Grand Prix which no longer exists write it in the reviews as a business not a personal attack.

You make some reasonable points, however, your 'repeatedly' sounded worse than it was though..he bumped it twice in same day and once more a week later. Every beef has to start somewhere and some time. I think that 9 days is a little early to deem this as a one-off just yet.
But also, making yourself unavailable buy turning your contact number off and not first calling up the customer to say that he won't be available, more resembles avoidance. And avoidance, more often than not stems from something you are trying to avoid.
Which do you hear about most often: Someone avoiding paying a potential debt? Or someone avoiding being the recipient of that payback?. If you don't agree then fine.
