In summary. The vehicle was damaged by the lift when the car was getting a nail removed from the tire. The mechanic that put the car on the lift was either high or stupid, either way the car was damaged moderate-severely depending on your interpretation of damage. The owner went to the place that damaged the car, accused them of damaging it, the owners personal mechanic indicated that it probably was the dumba** that fixed the tire. The dealership accepts that their guy probably did it and is willing to correct the damage by taking it to their body shop. Owner hopes they don't take it to a chop shop and scr** him. We'll find out Monday. There, the story is told, summarized and hopefully ended this Monday. Ron, I love your films, love Hollywood (never knew it snowed there though), and I hope your car gets fixed in accordance with your expectations. Good luck.
