47550.
    SHEAROUSE v. PAUL MILLER FORD COMPANY et al.
    Argued October 3, 1972
    Decided November 28, 1972.
    
      Michael J. Gannam, Kenneth H. Cail, for appellant.
    
      Bouhan, Williams & Levy, Leamon R. Holliday, III, for appellees.
   Quillian, Judge.

The appellant employed the appellee, a nonresident corporation, to repair the brakes of his automobile in Winchester, Kentucky. Upon their return to Georgia the brakes failed and the appellant’s wife was involved in a collision while driving the automobile. The appellant then filed a claim against the appellee in Chatham County, Georgia, alleging that the appellee had not properly repaired the brakes. A motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction was sustained and the appellant filed an appeal. Held:

The appellant neither does any business in this State nor engages in any activity which would give our courts jurisdiction under our long arm statute. Code Ann. § 24-113.1 (Ga. L. 1966, p. 343, as amended, Ga. L. 1970, pp. 443, 444).

Judgment affirmed.

Hall, P. J., and Panned, J., concur.
