A repair shop to whom your car is consigned for repairs has a duty to exercise reasonable care to preserve the car in its original condition. It is, however, not a guarantor of this result; and sometimes bad things happen despite the exercise of due care. If you have a factual basis for believing that the car was not properly cared for, you can make a claim for the resulting damages. Small claims court is a good forum for this kind of claim, most of the time.
