Highly doubtful.

Back OT, what the OP is owed, if the repair shop damaged his vehicle, is the cost of repair, or the fair market value of the vehicle.

OP, come back and answer some of the questions posed in this thread.

Which part is highly doubtful? That the chip was at fault or that the dealer could sue if it was in fact the reason for the accident?


Trust me if the customer installed chip cause this accident and the customer goes after the dealer for money --- You can Bet that a lawsuit threat would slow this down..

This world is full of lawsuits WAAAY more frivolous than this scenario.



Of course this is all speculation until the OP provides update

Let me be more specific. It's highly doubtful that the dealer could prove that some fault in the vehicle caused the rollover, instead of the negligence of his driver in failing to control the vehicle. Further, it's more likely that any fault in the vehicle, as modified, would be litigated as a products liability case rather than as ordinary negligence, meaning that the owner of the vehicle would not be held liable. This is a highly simplified view of the potential outcome, and as you mention above, it's all speculation unless/until the OP gives us more details.
