Thank for the replies, the lack of reports of similar incidents would suggest it is a rare occurrence. ( good news for us all
The dealer in question has been instructed to inspect the vehicle at our premisis and give an explanation, we will wait and see what that throws up.
the second vehicle which we have hear also show no damage to sump or cross member, with that one we also have the broken center section which again shows no marks.
the owner would certainly not gain from an insurance claim, the problems with being without a vehicle far out way any marginal financial advantage i.e insurance value V trade in value.
Of course the driver might feel its time he had new vehicle to !
It's worth noting that if the owner did pursue a claim it would be a civil court issue. Which means that they would not have to Prove beyond all reasonable doubt (as in a criminal case} the garage was at fault, the case would be ruled on the balance of probabilities.
Lets hope it does not go that way, never good for the trade.
Cheers Aidan
