We got a breville bambino plus and separate breville bean grinder. Bean grinder is super easy to use and perfect. The bambino plus has been a huge pain. The milk steamer constantly clogs and doesn't properly steam the milk. But most annoying is very frequently, when we got to brew the espresso, it will make a loud noise, spit out some steam, and stop working. Then when i push the button again it pushes the water through for a very short time (not what it should be doing for a double shot) with no crema and its sour. Im now descaling and cleaning way more frequently than the user manual suggests I should be. Does this happen to anyone else? Any suggestions?

I got a bad scratch on my fender on a white vehicle. Its a work vehicle so I decided to get it fixed to maintain a professional appearance. I paid out of pocket not through insurance. I went to a "mom and pop" type of shop. Made the mistake of paying cash. My fender is now more yellow than white and has probably decreased the value of my car more the original scratches did. I told the guy I wasn't happy, he gave me the run around and all kinds of reasons, and as a single woman I just paid him $850 cash and left. I'm really unhappy with the work. I took it to another auto body shop and they confirmed it was an awful job, not industry standard by any stretch, and quoted me $1250 to fix the original body shop's work. Im going to take this quote back to the original body shop and ask for my money back.

Does anyone have any ideas if id be successful in small claims court if he refuses?

Evidence/paper trail:

Paid in full receipt

Im just trying to weigh my options and risk assess the additional cost of filing the claim
