Default Anyone in Woodstock, Il. Area?

I hired a restoration shop in Woodstock, Il to restore a 1969 Camaro for me as well as purchased another 1969 Camaro convertible from them that was in the process of being restored.

Long story short, I was supposed to have the cars in March and I dont have my cars - the last 6 months has had every excuse imaginable and then some. At this point I have given up on the fact that they are ever going to do the right thing. I cannot just walk away as they have one of my cars there and $50k of my money.

What are the legal options in Illinois to assist me in getting this resolved? Unfortunately I am in NY so it is not as easy as going there to resolve the issues or to take my cars.

The shop is located in Woodstock, Il.

That sucks. It's guys like that, that give us honest restorers a bad name. I am over 4 hours away from them otherwise I would be happy to drive there and check them out. There are lots of other locals on this site, maybe one of them can swing by. If I can help in other ways just let me know.

Wow - I am overwhelmed with the amount of people willing to help me in resolving this.

I received many PM's - I greatly appreciate this. It has been a terrible year dealing with this shop and to make matters worse I told them that I lost my mother in July and my father had brain surgery the same week and suffered a stroke the next day. Regardless of the fact that I told them that I really could use to sell at least one of the cars to cover costs to help take care of my father they still could give two shits about me or my family.

It really puts a sour taste in my mouth - I know there are alot of great shops out there that stand behind thier word and deliver quality work but after this I am frustrated with allowing anyone to do anything for me.

The last conversation that I had with him he was gravely ill (actually on vacation) and told me once he is back to work he needs 2 months to finish the car that only needed glass and interior 8 months ago.
