What is the name of your state? Texas
I am being sued in small claims court for fees for an estimate on car repair. No quote was given stating that there was a fee for an estimate, at the time i took the car to the mechanic shop. They only made the claim, after i had refused a 'guesstimate price' by phone, for repair costs, and removed the car to another mechanic to have it fixed. I know anyone can sue anyone for anything..but is this valid claim, since no discussion or paperwork took place previous to my taking the car in, or after i removed it from their premises?
Also, can i then sue them, for lost wages, gas, and so on, for my time, since i have to go to another town about 200 miles from my home, to contest this? Thanks
