The Bonn District Court ordered the defendant vehicle workshop to pay the plaintiff €2,230.15, with interest from 10 August 2013, and to bear the costs of the proceedings. The workshop had failed to perform the basic adjustment of the vehicle’s parking brake. The court held that this failure so undermined the customer's trust that requiring the customer to set a deadline for the workshop to remedy the defect would be unreasonable. The judgment is provisionally enforceable against security of 110% of the amount to be enforced.
BGB Art. 634 no. 4, Art. 280 paras. 1 and 3, Art. 636; defective vehicle repair and the requirement to set a deadline for cure. A customer need not necessarily afford the contractor an opportunity to cure before claiming damages. Where the contractor’s failure is sufficiently serious to destroy the customer’s confidence in proper performance, requiring the customer to set a deadline for remedial work may be unreasonable. The failure of a motor-vehicle workshop to perform the basic adjustment of a parking brake can, in itself, sufficiently undermine that confidence to dispense with a deadline under § 636 BGB.

Versäumt eine KFZ-Werkstatt die Grundeinstellung der Feststellbremse eines PKW, so ist auf Grund dieses Umstandes das Vertrauen des Bestellers so erschüttert, dass eine Fristsetzung zur Mängelbeseitigung nach§ 636 BGB unzumutbar ist.
Die Beklagte wird verurteilt, an den Kläger 2.230,15 € nebst Zinsen in Höhe von 5 Prozentpunkten über dem jeweiligen Basiszinssatz seit dem 10.08.2013 zu zahlen.
Die Kosten des Rechtsstreits hat die Beklagte zu tragen.
Dieses Urteil ist zzgl. 110 % des jeweils zu vollstreckenden Betrages vorläufig vollstreckbar.
Whether the defendant must pay the plaintiff €2,230.15 for loss arising from defective vehicle repair, despite no deadline having been set for remedying the defect.
The workshop's failure to perform the basic parking-brake adjustment sufficiently destroyed the customer's trust to make setting a deadline for cure unreasonable.
The serious failure of the workshop justified dispensing with a cure deadline under § 636 BGB.
Allocation of the costs of the proceedings.
