Only mentioned it because OP said the garage was a small outlet.
It is possible therefore that he has no assets, no garage liability insurance and so not worth suing.
If the damage to the car was caused by another driver who was correctly insured, it might well be more advantageous to make a claim against that person if he/she has been identified
Then sue the person who removed goods from the vehicle (probably the "borrower")
Leaves damages for extra mileage to be paid for by garage owner.
Why limit the targets?
Only a suggestion, but is there any legal or other reason for not naming all three as codefenders?
