I wouldn't have left til they paid for it. Now they can say it happened on your way home and they aren't liable.

yep, you should have said something to them, now they aren't liable.

you could try and pull the small claims court or better buisness bureau threats and see if the respond.

Call the BBB, for arrogant shop owners not having respect and the ability to do his job safely.

I would check the height of your car and make sure it was in the limits of what you local law enforment think it should be it it is then fight for them to fix it.... also look if there was any signs saying if your car is to low we arent responsible for the damages, a place around me has that so **** like this doesnt happen

I agree that lip would never look the same if you fix it.

omg you didn't fill out a claim form the moment this happened?

the shop owner should have warned you that the lowered car would be a risk.

I'll go ahead and say it was your fault. You knew that you had to get up on the ramp. Why didn't you remove the lip first?
