How many mechanicts to change a tire?

You WIN!
I'm sort of just playing with you- new door is a possible scenario, junkyard or off the shelf, but I don't really think it is best or worst solution...
As far as insurance, my company said they would NOT pursue my town in court even though they graded the dirt road with NO signage of any kind, and my wife drove over a huge boulder she was forced onto due to a UPS truck in her lane. She had to cross over the sweep from the grader that was about a foot high in her lane, and took out the oil pan, floor, exhaust, etc on a car with about 500 miles on it They paid for it and did not rate me up- accident forgiveness- since we had no hx of accidents to that point. They said for small claims cases they just pay the cost and don't bother pursuing the 'defendant's side. Total was around 2K.

Cheers, Caio, etc. CM out.

I've had to write out a near 5000$ check, from our co, for a jasper engine, for that very same problem... involved a car and a school bus and a road we were working on. proper sinage, flagmen and all. we lost

florida must be more strict with it's contractors, with dot, sinage, etc.. et al...

Ps.. I wasn't arguing for a win / loose between me and you. I was stating what I would pursue in similar situations. reguardless of outcome.. I would pursue it..... but then that's me.

for a older used vehicle.. um.. like I own. I'd be fine them giving me a check and me hitting a junkyard and pulling a 'good' door and painting and hanging it myself..... and know tha tthe door wouldn't fall off.. as// well.. their techs arn't good about keeping things where they are suposed to be apparrently..

SoundGuy,

I wasn't arguing with you to win either, was just conceding to your POV on the replacing of the door- but feel it would be hard to get wallworld to pay for it.
We're just arguing the same thing from different points of view- so we're basically in agreement...the shop screwed up and should have done it right to fix it the first time- completely.

yep.. had it not fallen off the lift.. it would not have been an issue.. etc...

that's why I only take my trucks to a single mechanic that I trust, when it's something I can't do myself.

No the door was not replaced. It had a small dent in the bottom. They gave me a check for 1500 after receiving quotes. It was only 200 to fix.

This happened to a buddy of mine the other day. They reached in the window and cranked not realizing it is a standard. For some reason it fired even without the clutch in and plowed through the door in low gear with the hood up. The tech was stunned and didn't chase the truck, but just watched it go. My buddy had to run it down and jump through the window to stop it. He has a rental right now and is waiting for their response.

OUCH. Hope they make it right quickly.

now with more details.. that sounds fair. 1500$ is a good sum and would buy a good salvage door had it been needed.
