I recently had some minor work done on one of my other cars. I noticed damage a few hours after I got the car back. Shop manager agreed there was damage, and referred me to their insurance company. Insurance company tried to deny claim, saying that it was my word against the shop's. After a few exchanges, I dropped the bomb that I had photographed the car just before taking it to the shop (I took photos for a completely unrelated purpose). They immediately stopped arguing and paid the claim. Sheer luck.

The shop apparently agreed with me since they fired the tech before the claim process played out. It looks like just the insurance company was the real problem.

I should have inspected the car very carefully before I left the shop. Another lesson learned.

Without the photos, I am certain that I would have had to either: file a claim with my insurance company, which would have also given me the benefit of a lifetime warranty on the repair; or, failing that, gone to small claims.
