What happens if a mechanic breaks a part?

How do I know if my body shop did the job correctly?

What should I do if my mechanic Won’t Fix my Car?

Asking the mechanic to keep you apprised on any new developments with the car repairs can help your peace of mind, especially if you’ve been placed at a severe inconvenience without your vehicle. If you suspect the mechanic is keeping your car for longer than is reasonable, you may consider bringing up the question with another auto shop.

Why do I keep going to the same mechanic for repairs?

If you keep going back to your mechanic for the same repair, it could be a sign that your mechanic did a bad job (and doesn’t want to own up to it) or used shoddy parts or bad repair procedures. Get a second opinion and definitely get your next repair somewhere else if you’re not getting 100\% free repairs for repeat issues.

Who should pay to fix broken parts of a car?

It depends entirely why something broke. If it was the negligence of the mechanic then it’s the mechanic’s fault and he/she should pay or fix it. If it was a neglected part or a part known to break when handled then the owner pays. A good example is motorbike exhaust headers.
