Repair & Parts is responsible for the damage caused while in their possession, as they assumed custody and control over the rototiller. QuikFix may pursue legal action against Repair & Parts for the damage. Oleg and PowerMade are not liable as they did not cause the damage while the machine was under Repair & Parts's control.
