That is crazy! Go by his shop to make sure it actually burnt down and that he isn't screwing you.

But one way or another, because he had your vehicle and his shop burnt down, he is liable for what happens to your car.

Sorry for your loss. I'd be willing to throw you a few bucks for the front window sashes. I imagine they're still OK.

insurance or not he is liable. and how can he run a business w/o liability insurance? if he is doing business as a garage he should have some kind of bond or ins he is required to post to even get a business permit from the city.
