Took the Boxstr to the detail shop for a complete detail. Top was down, next day I picked up a 914 from the detail shop and the Boxstr top was up. Next day I get a call from the detail shop and the top will only go up on one side but not the other. Broken pass side transmission. Repair cost with parts $1700. Who is responsible for the repair bill??

Do you know who tried to put the top up? Was it your friend/owner or a trusted worker that you have worked with in the past? I would think that if you know the person and have some comfort level as to their competency you could assume that the top would have broke even if you had put it up. If, on the other hand, a ham handed worker was working on the car, the top might have been forced and broke. In that case I would think that the owner would take responsibility. The owner should make sure that all of his employees are trained to properly operate all controls of the cars they work on or stop and ask for help. Since you want to continue to work with this shop, and I assume that you bring the guy a fair amount of business, you might be able to work out a compromise. Was the $1700 a retail quote? Any chance of getting some of the job done at cost or trade?
