That being so, I can only make a broad guess at your legal status; but US and UK law are related and seem to reflect similar thinking, even today. But (NB) I am not a lawyer. Your first quarrel with the garage would appear to be that they went ahead and did the replacement work, when you had only agreed they were to inspect your car to ascertain its condition. That they modified your car without permission (if I read your report aright), puts them in a sticky situation. Could you even argue that they damaged it? No doubt they left your car in a state such that it would not be practical to restore it to how it was before. If it were my car, I would be tempted (a) to scare them with the prospect of having to put it back, then (b) suggest a much larger discount on what they did unasked. Finally (c) I'd find myself another garage, to double-check what these people did. Here in the UK, we'd call those guys "cowboys", IMO. (No insult meant to real cowboys, BTW. The term evolved forty-odd years ago when it was common for marginally legal, grab-the-money-and-run, slapdash workers to dress in items of pseudo-cowboy dude gear -- hats and boots, mainly. The term was useful, so stuck.) -- Andrew Stephenson
