My mechanic did offer to make good on his blunder by fabricating a new part & installing it free of charge. I'd prefer to obtain another original plate and send it on to the vendor instead of messing with my new rack and worrying about the fabricated part working out. It's not worth risking my relationship with my mechanic by demanding he foot the $250 core charge. Besides, it was an honest mistake and I'm a forgiving person. It's also partly my fault for not verifying with him that everything was there.
