Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi CGs!
I was in an auto accident approx. 8
mos. prior. The auto body shop
disconnected/unplugged AC
Compressor and left it as is. Prior to
the accident, approx. 30 days, the AC
was serviced and operating Perfectly
till the vehicle went into repair. The
following week, AC Compressor fails.
The techs neglected to reconnect AC
System. My question to you: When the
vehicle was returned, the AC System
failed and was told that compressor
exploded. In fact, body shop claims
No Fault and refuses to repair!

Anything damaged by the accident is part of the repair. Whether it's the air conditioning compressor, cruise control module, horn, etc. If it was damaged by the accident they were obligated to fix it! Hope that helps! Jim
