Your diving too deep into the samantics of the comparison. We're trying to show you the idea of taking in a customers property and repairing it. Of course, if the garage has a fire and the property is destroyed then you (or your insurance) owe the customer a piano. Back to the excellent auto repair shop analogy: If you take your car in for an oil change and the engine block cracks while the mechanic is unscrewing your oil filter, you don't get a free engine block. You pay for the new found problem and move on. You can try to blame the mechanic/shop/owner/etc. but you will surely lose. Glenn.
