Interesting about Crappy Tire's responsibility for repairs to vehicles damaged while in its care.
Here’s a case form Quebec, where a Crappy Employee got into an accident in a customer’s vehicle, on a public road.
The store first tried to get the customer to go through the customer’s own insurance company, but the customer didn’t want the accident on their own record.
Then, the store said they didn’t have to cover that damages, because when their employee damaged the customer’s vehicle, it was on a public road.
Next, Crappy Tire tried to blame someone named Dimitrios Kunturas, for reasons that aren’t clear in the court documents.
In the end, the judge decided that the Crappy Employee had cause the damage to the customer’s car, so Crappy Tire should reimburse the customer.
I’m not sure what would have happened if the customer hadn’t been able to prove that the Crappy Employee caused the accident.

Bottom line: be very careful who you give your keys to - certainly not Crappy Tire, who won't own up to their own errors.
