No you are not out of line. Did the tow truck driver not know to use the =
 tow hook or something? Maybe to ask for paint coverage is excessive, I =
don't know, but he definitely owes you for the temp sensor since you =
could have parted that out. Speaking of which, why is it getting junked =
and not parted?

Subject: [W126 Coupe] Towing the line



I need some thoughts here. My car would not start at the airport and had =
to
get towed 20 miles  to the mechanic. It looks like the trusty '87 420 =
SEL
has died from the dreaded timing chain failure at 457,000 miles. =
However,
the tow truck operator, in order to tow the car, ended up ripping off my
front license plate and the outside temperature sensor in his haste. He =
also
put a big scratch on the side of the car--which has a few others. He did =
say
he was sorry, after he handed me the bill for $77 and now I'm thinking =
that
I paid to have the car towed and not damaged. Am I out of line asking =
for
compensation for the sensor (about $60) and paint damage on a car that =
is
going to the junkyard?

Thanks.
