A plaintiff, injured due to a defective part installed by a mechanic during repair work on a vehicle, sued the mechanic for damages, asserting a contractual liability based on the service contract. The court found that the mechanic, in executing the repair, undertook an obligation of result to ensure the proper functioning of the repaired vehicle; because the subsequent accident was directly attributable to the faulty repair, which constituted a breach of this obligation, the mechanic was liable for the resulting damages under the contractual framework, warranting the reversal of a lower court decision that had incorrectly based liability on tort law principles.
