    • I no longer offer loaner cars. Customer flipped the loaner on the freeway then she balked at accepting responsibility and having her insurance cover damage even though she signed the waiver for the loaner. I had to threaten to enforce what she signed in court before she bought her insurance company in to reimburse our shop for the total loss. I didn't receive tangible benefit for offering loaners when all was said and done. I do still offer local rideshare for regulars though.
