Re: car was damaged my cars engine
It depends on the instructions and disclaimer notices, if any, at the car wash, and on how you washed the engine. You may have some liability of your own for some negligence in how you washed the engine. The carwash will argue that you assume the risk of damage. The final decision will be up to a judge. The result will hinge on the actual facts you and the car wash prove at a trial.
