What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Tire shop sells and mounts two new tires on my truck. A half hour or so after I left the tire shop one of the tires falls off and my truck receives extensive front end axle etc……… damage. I called the tire shop but they were closed. I then proceeded to call a tow truck driver who said I was lucky I was not on the freeway “you could have been killed”. Come to find out the lug nuts on the second tire were not tightened properly either.
I had the truck towed back to the tire shop. I am with the owner of the shop right now and he said this could have happened to anyone. He is brushing this entire incident under the rug. I can’t believe a person that does this type of work can be so negligent and get away with it.
I am currently 300 miles from home and I need to get my truck fixed and back on the road. The owner is accessing the damages right now. I hope he agrees to fix the damage. Is there any legal recourse that I can take let’s say after he hopefully agrees to fix my truck. Do I give up that right by agreeing to let him fix the damage. The owner has a terrible attitude and I think his shop needs to be liable for this type of work. I would hate to see someone get killed because they did not tighten the lug nuts on a vehicle. After all it is a tire shop………………………………………Thanks
