car repair damage

Re: car repair damage

You will argue they damaged your car while repairing it. If that is true they are liable. They have a duty of care not to do so.

I took my vechile to a car repair shop for a cooling problem. When I picked up the vechile I now had a transmission problem. I never had transmission troubles prior and I know the repair shop caused the transmission problem. It costed me $3000 to have the transmission repaired at another shop. I am sueing the first shop for the repair costs. I have documentation showing the transmission was recently checked prior to going to the first shop. What is the legal basis for my claim? Can I include court costs and travel to court (I live in another state)?
