This weeks customer . Recently had a windshield installed by one of the larger chains.
About a month later, they road tripped it to Florida, and got stuck in some very heavy rains which ended up flooding the passenger floor, shutting off the radio, heater fan, and some other controls .
Of course they went right to blaming the windshield company . I know their cars, and work on them regularly . They park under a lot of trees, and their vehicles are always covered in leaves, and pine needles . They were also advised that the installer of the windshield notated this on his work order .
They want to go after the windshield company for loss of value of their vehicle , or the cost of repairs to the electronics . He asked me for an evaluation of the damages.
I want no part of it, but my suggestion was that I would try to clean out the cowl drains, and let the interior dry out , and see what happens , then replace necessary components. Its probably not nearly as bad as they think it is .
This is not the first time they have tried so sue someone in similar circumstances.
Makes me not want to do any work for them, as you just know, that your turn is right around the corner if something should ever go wrong .
I bet people like this frequently make out , as larger companies settle , just to make them go away. Things like this can really sting a small guy like me . I've had a few people try, and they were unhinged lunatics . I won both times, with no legal counsel .
These people are out there and just another obstacle for business to deal with . I just try to steer clear of these situations when possible .
