I took my newly aquired 01 C2 in for a simple little service, and the service facility managed to put a little dent in my front right fender, and scuffed up my leather steering whell. WTF!! Granted it is a 01, and its only a $40k vechicle, but it is my pride and joy at this moment!! I love the car, but come on, be a little Fing careful when working on a clients car!!

sorry... i feel a little better..

 

sorry to hear that...shouldn't happen regardless of the value of the car...you should have raised hell with the sm when you picked it up...it's still not too late...call him/her

 

that sucks... i wouldn't have put up with that... and mine's an 01 as well.

 

i hope you raised some hell and told them- they have insurance, they should fix it.

 

sorry to hear that...I feel your pain bro. Happened to one of my rides and the guy didn't have insurance (the guy comes to our place of work once a week to do car wash on the employees' cars)

 

should do something about it

 

yeah they should fix that little punk NO CHARGE...let us know what happens! best of luck!

 

sorry to hear... Id def complain,... even though they can easily deny it.

 

thanks guys, i am not really the type to raise hell, to be honest the workers I came in contact with were all very nice, they gave me good information... I just wish who ever was working on my car was more careful.

I think I would have second thoughts about bring my car there again... anyone have a good indi shop to work on the car in socal? TIA

 

This is why I only go to indies now. They have their livelihood at stake. Stealers are so careless.

 

I'm the opposite, I only goto dealers they will always make something like that right, they don't want to risk a multi-million dollar business. I had the dealer scratch my shifter up (some one's ring or something did it) and offer to replace the whole shifter for me. I offered for them to try to buff it out 1st, I'm picky but not nuts. An independent would just try to buff it out and pass it off if it didn't work, never would they offer to buy a $200+ shifter for a simple scratch.

As for oc996dreaming comment on his car is only an 01 and cost 40k, it makes no difference. Age/cost has nothing to do with it. You wouldn't accept it on a 25k honda. If you take care of your car, then the shop should do the same. you had a 2006 Ferrari, if it was full of dents, coffee stains and scratches, then you'd have no grounds to say anything. But if your 10k used Miata was in perfect condition and well maintained, then you can.

 

I think I must have been drunk when I wrote that (sp). I guess it all depends. My dealers are careless, but my indies treat every car like gold.

 

Gotta love the dealerships...

 

only $40K??? c'mon man get your head outta your hole.
