My cheap Maserati Levante LOOKS RUINED after my off-road DISASTER. Can we fix it again?

[@Cartier_specialist]

The implausible suspension light was probably from when the front driver's side wheel was off the ground and spinning. It didn't compute because the engineers didn't expect an owner to actually off road the thing.

The fact Van Gogh didn't try to stick you with the catalytic converter bill really shows what an upstanding shop they are. So many jerks try to stick the customer with that bill, despite the problem being the shop's lack of security precautions.

The problem is catalytic converter thieves, not security precautions.

It'd be covered by insurance either way...given it's happened before I'm sure they made sure it was part of their policy.
