I've never heard of an insurance company insuring a car battery. Car batteries don't last forever.
Battery would have been weak already, and not holding charge properly. Nothing the shop did would have caused the problem.
Just buy a new battery, they only last 3 to 5 years max anyway.
Hail damage would not short out your old tired battery.
No. It is just a coincidence. Batteries don't last forever. Take the battery and have it tested, if it's good, then charge it. If it's bad, replace it.
No they are not responsible for a bad battery.
Nope. Go buy a battery and stop whining.
I had some repairs done on my car as a result of hail damage. After lots of hassle, I finally got my car back. The battery was dead. i barely got my started when I left the body shop, and had to have someone help me jump start it later that afternoon. Now it s dead for sure and I def need a replacement. Is the body shop responsible? They first denied it and then said that it sat in their parking lot for 2 weeks while waiting for parts and insurance approval, so after that time, they had to jump start it also. They weren t even going to tell me until I asked. So can I hold them liable for a new battery, since I had no issues prior to me leaving my car there? My insurance company is saying they can t help because it was not one of their preferred body shops.
