    Lets not complicate things. Thats a cab mount bushing.
    If he cut it in half, and welded the plate.. I would think its no big deal.
    Hopefully he hit it with some primer and paint.

    Let's hope you never need to replace your body mount bushings... seen some threads about that recently.

    Regardless of if it might be ok, your mechanic is an idiot. I don’t how you accidentally cut that. Maybe he should learn how to use a grinder properly. There is a reason there is 2 bolts there and not one.

    I’ve never called one of my customers and said oh shit I f***ed ur Jeep, truck, car ect... up. I’d fix it or make it better than it was. And for sure if I did mess something up I sure the hell wouldn’t charge them.
    Real nice guy, gave him more money for potentially f***ing you or someone else down the road.
