Of course they are liable for any damage that they do.
Now, does your friend have a full set of photos of the body to prove to a judge that the vehicle arrived at the local indie shop without the scrape?
Without that, it's his word against the indie. The judge is not likely to find the indie at fault without some "evidence beyond a reasonable doubt".
Sorry to tell you.
