Q: Had my tuck worked on at a Ford dealership they left a bolt lose on the brake caliper . Wheel locked up.
They admitted that they left the bolt lose. They gave me a free oil change for their mistake This could have been a deadly mistake. A free oil change is a slap in the face. Are they anything else that I can do? Thanks Shawn
A: You don't get a recovery for what could have happened but didn't. If you were in Court tomorrow you have no damage you suffered other than a nasty scare. If you had towing charges, or if tires damaged then those are things they should pay for.
A: Fortunately nothing much more injurious occurred. If the dealer corrected the problem at no cost, you wouldn't have any damages in which to make a claim.
