They won`t be going after him for the deductible but if yours is like
any of the insurance companies that I deal with, they damn sure will go
after him for the amount it costs them to make your car right.
It`s called subrogation rights. The carrier, by reimbursing you or
paying for the damages to your insured property, assumes the same rights
that you have to go after the person who caused them.
Hopefully, USAA will return your `Vette to the condition it was in
before Tau attempted to Tautal it<g> and go after them for their money.

Ric, did you ever determine exactly what happened to your car after
you dropped it off at Tau Automotive?

I just got a call from the owner, and at first he completely denied that
the car was ever off the lot...
(He was out of town the day I picked up the car)
Then when I confronted him with the facts that the trip odometer had 2.7
miles on it and the radio
was tuned to a station (after the battery was disconnected) without
realizing what he was saying
he immediately came back with "We test drive all cars"..............
I think he`s just covering for the smartass mechanic... Plus I can see
him not coming outright
and admitting anything in a legal stance, but not a moral stance. So no
I never got an explanation
from him. But what happened while the boss was away the mechanic went
joy riding, guess he couldn`t
resist trying the RipperShifter and seeing how the other parts on the
engine and on the vehicle , ran.
He ran the crap out of it and wrecked it. Maybe he spun out doing a
burnout and hit something along the road....
arrrrgh..
Where it stands now, I am waiting for my adjuster then I will call him
with what my adjuster says....
He offered to toss my paid bill of $305.00. My deductible is $250.00 but
I said no, not at this point
till I talk to my adjuster. I also told him I contacted my credit card
company to dispute the charges.
He said you don`t want to pay us for the job? And I said I absolutely do
not want to skip out on
legit charges you worked for but I ain`t paying for a $35.00 horn
contact your mechanic broke...
(to me it`s kinda bad Karma to try and not pay them for any of their
work, even with the ridiculous
crap of wrecking it and leaving grease and dirt and parts laying inside
everywhere) Am I a sap? LOL
