What is the name of your state?New York
My car was inspected by an auto mechanic who told me that it would fail the safety inspection if I did not replace a gasket as oil was leaking on to the engine and could cause a fire or could cause smoke to enter the car through the heater/ac. He repaired/replaced the gasket and cleaned the emissions system, including the engine. This was three days ago. I loaned the car to my brother in law who took the car to a job interview out of state. The engine caught fire while he was driving it today. Can I sue the mechanic? What are my options here?
