I would be explaining to the guy that he can either pay to repair it elsewhere or for a replacement! I would also demand to see his insurance policy or phone the police and report him for driving without insurance.....

Garage need to be stumping up. Clearly taken for a jolly and it went wrong.

I'd be fuming.

Can't believe the garage is being such a wanker about it.

I'd take a picture of the car, print into onto flyers with the words "This garage crashed my car, and refuse to pay for the damage", take a week off work and hand out the flyers to anyone going near the garage.

I wouldn't stop till he'd given me every single penny he owed me.

Can't say I've ever heard of them even though I've lived in Swansea pretty much all my life although denying that it ever happened doesn't surprise me in the least,Swansea people aren't the most up front when it comes to admitting blame in accidents etc,I know loads of boys who've had shit from dishonest musher scum.
Can honestly say they would have paid me up by now as I know a few people in swansea that they wouldn't want a visit from,really horrible people!!
The owners sound complete cunts,had it been the other way round and someone had hit his car I'm sure he'd be hassling them for the cash.
I caught a customers car on the back 1/4 once pulling out if the garage and as it was a long termer I honestly forget about it when the customer came back.
He brought it up a few days later and I fixed it for free of course,from that he recommended us to his work colleagues as we'd dealt with the damage without any hassle at all.
The profit made on just one of those jobs covered the money lost on his car.
Pretty sure this wanker will be out of business soon,takes years to build a good reputation but minutes to build a bad one.

It probably wouldn't bother him even if it did effect his business. He'd just fold and set back up under another name.

Fuckers like that always get away with it.

And can you just imagine what would have happened if the owner got caught speeding in the car.....Yes, the police would be all over him.

Car gets stolen and destroyed ( even if it is a Nova )...and very little seems to happen.

What a legal system we have !

Why was he driving it anyway? No reason if it was only in for MOT, unless they were using a Tapley meter to test the brakes, which I doubt. What a twat, I'd be on to a solicitor!!

Agreed with everything that has been said, I used to own my own garage and would never dream of taking a car out without permission! Especially one that is clearly the owners pride and joy. To$$ers!
