Garage taking care of your car!

[aikmanmosquito]

Just a quick question. I dropped my vehicle off at a garage that had been recommended to me for them to carry our a quote for an insurance company. Now while a vehicle has been handed over to a garage is it their responsibility to ensure it is safe etc? Why I am asking, once Insurance issue had been sorted I was told to go and collect my car. Picked up keys from garage and was told car was parked outside. Couldn't find it. To cut a long story short, local council had lifted it because they needed to carry out gutter repairs. They dumped it in another street and it took me over three hours to locate the car. Surely the garage should have a duty of care over cars that are trusted to them, because they just didn't seem to care!
