NO. 2003-563 S C

MADELINE ROMAN, Respondent,

against

TRANNY SHOP OF PATCHOGUE, INC., d/b/a AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS, BOB TIBREWALA, Appellants.


Appeal by defendants from a small claims judgment of the District Court, Suffolk County (P. Hensley, J.), entered October 21, 2002, in favor of plaintiff in the principal sum of $2,345.


Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.

Plaintiff commenced the instant small claims action to recover damages for
improper repair of the transmission of her automobile. Contrary to the contentions of
defendants, plaintiff met her burden of proof both as to liability and damages. Expert
testimony was not necessary under the circumstances of this case. A review of the record [*2]establishes that substantial justice was done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law (see UDCA 1807).
