Patron....that's good stuff.

What's the name of the shop and where are they?

Wouldn't it make you say "golly gosh" !

Technically this might be correct Jeff, however were I the owner of the shop I would think that repairing a relatively low cost E34 and getting rid of the offending curb was a sensible option and a lesson learnt.

The next car to do it might be a Ferrari owned by a famous litigation lawyer.

Did they shop's tech position the car ?

If so I think they might have some legal responsibility.

I would suggest trying to reason with them calmly.

Otherwise mount a campaign to black-list them and tell everyone you know and meet never to go there.

How about walking up and down in front of the shop for a day with a sandwhich board saying how disreputable they are ?

I think that the tech who parked it was at fault, but not due to intention or neglect. The tech could not have predicted what happened. As such, i think it would be logical for the shop to pay for the part, or meet him halfway with the repair. Its what i would do if i owned the shop.

You guys are great. I know its not a huge amount of body damage, but it's the principle. The tech did park the car, and he has been an ASE certified tech for about 12 years. Any tech knows that a rear wheel vehicle when put in drive will squat when brake is applied. I was a mechanic for about 6 years, and got tired of smelling and tasting grease. The name of the Co. is Edgewater tire and Goodyear. They are located in Edgewater maryland. Also one of the guys there owns a 98 740i. When he told the owner that it would cost almost a $1000 to replace cover, thats when he said no he will not cover it. The ****ed up thing about this is I used to work for the guy. I Left the Co. on good terms.
