While my car was having it's oil changed, the mechanic turned the key to check the mileage but turned the key too far causing the engine to start. The mechanic had left the car in gear, without engaging the E-brake while it was on the lift so when he started the engine the car drove off the lift and into the wall causing damage to the front bumper, hood and headlights.
The company proceeded to move the car before pictures could be taken or before my insurance agent could arrive. They were in such a hurry to move the car, they actually began lifting it while I was inside the car gathering my work documents. The said that it will be paid for by their insurance but that their agent wouldn't be there until the following day. Then, while I was still waiting in the parking lot for more information, I saw one of the mechanics working on the car, removing bolts to make the broken headlights fit in, in a clear attempt to minimize the appearance of damage.
It's been over 24 hours since the incident and the car has been moved multiple times and the company's insurance agent has not come out to assess the damage, among other thing, causing me to miss work.
