Much appreciated Sign In HI everyone. I'm looking for some advice about an accident I had gotten into immediately after leaving my mechanics shop not two miles away. I had taken my ford escape in to get my sway bar fixed. My brakes were working safely upon me dropping my vehicle off. When I arrived to pick up the vehicle he never stated my brakes were unsafe for driving. He did gladly leave an estimate for the amount of work that needed doNE to the brakes. But failed to give any type of warning. When I left my brakes gave out at the 2nd stop sign I arrived to and I got clipped by another driver not two miles from his shop. Snow was a factor but my brakes were safe when I dropped my vehicle off. Can the shop be held accountable?

"Snow was a factor" just that where I am would make insurance anyway split damages by the vehicles involved. 2 miles of driving or 10 feet how can anyone guess fault? That just IMO living in a snow belt place is still not proof of anything nor blaming anyone. If you wish to pursue this consult with legal help if you for your area have any case at all. Again - this isn't a place for this kind of thing, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 21, 2018, 6:29 AM Post #3 of 3 (1261 views) Re: Legal advice! Much appreciated Sign In Quote Snow was a factor but my brakes were safe when I dropped my vehicle off. Can the shop be held accountable? How do you know it was safe? He gave you an estimate to repair brakes that you declined and drove away...........in snow conditions no less. Your car was there for a sway bar issue so he went above and beyond to advise you of a brake problem. Everybody tries to blame their problem on everybody else. Suck it up and accept your own issues. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
