Hi Wayne, Your out of luck here. The shop owner/mechanic would have to intentionaly set your truck on fire in order to collect from the shop. Think about that for a minute. If wasn't that way you couldn't get anyone to work on your brakes, or work on your home, etc. The mechanic is even allowed to make mistakes while making the repair that caused your truck to burn without any libility on his part as he made his best effort to make the correct repair. Ask your insurrance agent about buying insurrance to protect yourself in case some company you hire gets hurt while working on your property. If he's a good agent he'll tell you you don't need that type of insurrance as you have no libility to that person. The company who the person works for has that libility. I worked in the service field for 40yrs and had one claim that caused injury to the building owner and didn't get sued. The only claim I ever had but one was enough. In any event, I would be shocked if a court would order more than a $1000 for your loss. To old, too many miles to have a higher resale to the truck market even tho your "baby" was destroyed. T_Bone
