i told the to replace that rim with a new one or buy me a new set equal to those rims. and replace the rack and pinion which is also screwd up. ( at first they wanted to repair a egg shaped 3 piece rim. but i told them no. they they told me they would pay for the one rim they screwed up. than i would have to pay for the others my self when i buy a new set. that was today. i told them i just going to take them to court.

here is the list

the rack is bad.
so r&i outer and inner tie rods and r&i rack it self.

they scraped the bottom of driver door when opening it.
1 hr. to fix. scrathes
paint the bottom of door. blend inside door and out and rocker,1/4 panel ( r&i whole door, handle, moldings, windows ect and pull door) wet sand and buff.

they screwed up my one rims which i have pics of it on there machine with it being out of whack.

a intercooler coupler and r&i that.

but thats the list of what im going to court with. im going to a local shop for r&i times. i work at a bdy shop so i will get a estimate there. i will also bring a pic of the closest rim i have found in v1 series and price but the rims used are

v1 18x10 $350 used mine are

17x10 and 17x11

so i should get about $2200 i will put it tord a set of these weld rts 17x10 and 18x12 but here are the same ones im getting

You're only going to be able to get them for R&I of the steering rack only. A new rack will come with inner tie rods (I just bought one myself) and the outer tie rods are built into the R&I labor.

Don't forget to add alignment costs (preferably at another shop) to the mix.

You might be able to just do small claims court since you're not even over $3K. It should be an open and shut case because they had custody of your car and obviously are at fault for dropping it like they did. This way you don't eat 30% of the judgement in lawyer fees.

True dat^
don't forget to take the pictures you took of the car wrecked and in the pit. That's your smoking gun.
