If Ready Repair breaches the contract, Scrub n' Dry can sue Ready Repair for damages. This is a common remedy for breach of contract, and it allows the injured party to recover the losses caused by the breach. The other options are not viable remedies for breach of contract. Scrub n' Dry cannot simply make a deal with another service provider without first terminating the contract with Ready Repair, and temporarily suspending operations would likely result in lost revenue. Additionally, filing a criminal complaint is only appropriate in cases where there is evidence of fraud or other criminal wrongdoing.
