I'm going to assume you never worked in a dealership? or shop?
Ive seen a tech forget to tighten lugnuts on a car, have the customer drive off. wheel come off, get in a wreck & trash the car. thats the customers fault for not checking the lugnuts? incorrect. Not how it works, sorry. last hand on it for service or prep is liable. How many motors has jiffy lube or the like had to replace because they have underfilled a car, as in zero, or put the wrong filter on, or forgotten to tighten a drain bolt? lots. Especially on a new vehicle they paid for prep on.
