Car Wash Damage - Worth fighting?

Aren't these "not liable for damage" similar to the "all breakages muist be paid for" signs?
I was under the impression, but more than happy to be corrected, that you cannot actually be forced to pay for damages in a shop. Of course if you go in ans start throwing stock around then your likely to get the police arresting you, but if you knock something over accidentally - well that is what shops have insurance for.
If you are feeling generous you can offer to pay or the middle ground of paying the trade price on something, but I didn't believe you actually had to pay.

I believe in the "breakages much be paid for" example you are liable for the loss you cause the shop, but only the actual loss (i.e. the price they paid for the item) not the retail price.

It's quite simple.

You think they're liable. They don't think they're liable. Next step - small claims...

Given the information gained here I would go back to customer services explaining that the damage appears to have been done by the wheel scrubbers due to equipment misalignment.
