I had a local auto shop in MD do a state inspection on my car when I bought it in Jan this year. They said I would need to replace both front ball joints to pass , so I authorized the repair and they certified the vehicle. A few weeks ago on the hwy my steering gives out causing significant damage, according to insurance and the dealership the shop put the wrong nut on the balljoint. The damage is around $2200. If I was traveling the normal speed on the hwy this would have been disastrous, luckily I had just slowed down due to traffic when this happened. What are my options? Should I just ask the shop to reimburse me for the repair costs? Or can I sue for more because I went through my insurance and now my rates could go up, also the diminished value of my car along with any issues I might encounter down the road if other problems creep up from this damage.
