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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took a car out for a test drive to investigate a mysterious clunking noise. I heard the exact sound the customer had described, and then realized a wrench had been left on top of the engine and had slipped down and got caught near the battery. I had to come back and explain that the issue had been a skill issue. FML
Today, I test-drove a customer’s car to investigate a strange noise. I heard the exact clunk she'd described. It was actually a wrench I’d left under the hood sliding around and hitting things. I had to return and sheepishly explain that the problem was entirely my fault. FML
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

Today, I finally got my car back after it was in the auto shop for a week. On my way home, I started swerving all over the road. It turns out they didn't tighten the lug nuts on one of my wheels properly. 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, my car was broken in for a second time in a month and a half, and for the second time it's now Inoperable. I only got it returned from repairs two days ago. FML

Bright side: You get to buy a new car with all the money they will need to give you for your old one. I think by "crashed", you mean had sex with a hooker and killed her, then drove over a cliff, jumping out just in time, to dispose of the evidence.

This would be a good time to demand a loaner until they repair all the damage (for free of course).

"Sue them" is the dumbest response. Seriously. Unless he makes his living driving that vehicle (and driving TO work doesn't count) the court will throw it out. WHY? Businesses have insurance...for exactly that reason. Dumb ass. The business will be getting it fixed or be getting him a new one, on their dime. Nice response godhelpme92, I hope you get hit by a car, and don't survive to sue the poor person who hit you.

Sue them. If they didn't immediately provide you with a temporary car then you every basis to sue. In fact, if they don't replace your car, repair completely, and compensate for any extra time or money you may have spent on their account you have a clear cut case to sue for at least a few grand.

What kind of fairytale do you people love in that you think you get a new car in an accident? You get it repaired unless the frame is dented. The only way you get a new one is if you purchased new, it is less than a year old and your policy includes it. I'm sure the business ins doesn't have it
