unbelievable (my car was damaged at a shop)
Today, i took the car for the inspection, but since I got eyelids on the headlights, I took it to the mechanic for the sticker. Mechanic calls me like two hours later, saying the my car got hit by someone, and that my mirror is broken and door is badly dented. I was like what a f$#%@^. So he took it to the body shop and damage to my car was about 1500. The good thing is he will pay for cuz itr happened at his shop. But I am really pissed off. You know, if you take care of your car really good, something bad will happen to it, and that is a fact, I think it happened to all of us... anyway it sux

I'm glad that the shop owner owned up to the damage and will take care of it. He may eventually pay a higher price for the shop insurance so he isn't getting away with anything through his negligence. It's a shame your car was damaged but at least it shouldn't be anything structural that will affect how it drives or performs.

I don't think this is a shop we should avoid. Yeah it sucks that the car got damaged but the shop owned up to it's mistake and paid for the damages it caused. That to me means a lot. We should avoid shops that damage cars and don't pay for it.

Not really, goes on CarFax if he didn't take it to a slimeballs shop, detracts from the value of the car.
