Today, I drove my truck into the garage for a couple of minor repairs. It was returned on a flatbed with a blown engine. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Today, I had the lovely experience of witnessing a tow truck cause a couple thousand dollars' worth of damage to my broken-down car. FML

Whoops
Today, I took my car into the shop to get a minor problem fixed. I left several hours later, without my car. Why? The mechanic crashed it while out on a test drive to make sure he'd fixed the problem. FML

Today, I took my partner’s car to fill with gas because mine was in the shop. Out of habit, I put diesel into the tank. We discovered it three hours later; the tow bill ate my weekly budget, the mechanic sighed through the repair estimate, and I spent the evening on hold with roadside help. FML

Today, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML

Today, I backed a van into another car at work, damaging the tailgate in the process. I work at a panel beater. The van I was driving had just had a brand new tailgate put on. FML

Today, I helped my dad push our broken-down truck from the driveway onto the tire ramp. Truck didn't make it; neither did my leg. FML

Today, I had two accidents in my car: one when a truck drove into its rear end, the other immediately after when my own rear end released its load onto the seat. FML

Today, my classic car that I've put hours of wrench time into burst into flames when I tried to start it. FML

If the engine was blown as a result of their actions then they need to provide a new one.

Look on the bright side OP; you get a new long block for free! The dealership I worked at had to replace several engines because the stoned ass lube techs forgot to put oil in them after draining the old oil and replacing the filter.

More detail needed. Define “simple.” Have you done this before?

OP here. Have I done what before? Taken my car in for an oil change, air filter, wires and a new door latch? Many times for the first few, a latch would obviously not affect the engine. Turns out they forgot to put oil in it before they test drove it - they’re definitely putting in a new engine. The only pain is I have to have a rental which means I can’t get around work as well. I need 4x4!
