Glenn Dick v. T. E. Reese

This is an appeal from a judgment against appellant allowing recovery to respondent of $1,170.46 for labor and parts furnished in the repair of appellant's truck, together with interest and costs; also, from an order denying appellant's motion for a new trial. On January 23, 1961, appellant (defendant) took his White Freightliner diesel truck to respondent (plaintiff) for the purpose of ascertaining what was wrong with the differentials. After respondent's mechanic had inspected the truck, and at appellant's instance and request, respondent caused the differentials to be completely overhauled and rebuilt, using Universal D-A 90 weight No. 000 mineral oil as the lubricant for the rebuilt units. Respondent then submitted a bill of $720.30, which appellant paid in four installments.
