As you should be, it's a two way street. At least it should be.

Standard disclaimer in Canada, from a Canadian Tire invoice:

"This company does not assume any responsibilty whatsoever for vehicle,
appliance, or equipment left for repairs or storage or for articles left
therein."

I guess you could try and gett'em into small claims court....or maybe the
_person_ who did the work, personally.
My usual garage has no such disclaimer on it's bill.
