Got the vette back, BUT....

**predator** · 03-10-2007, 12:52 PM

ok guys need some quick advise....

I got the vette back on friday. Great news right... heres the thing... when i got there i paid the man and he went to get the car... he brought it around and it was dirty... covered in waterspots... (not in like the paint) which is not a big deal i guess im just used to having a fucking spotless car when you get it back from a body shop every one else ive ever used has it detailed to the max when you pick it up...

so i take it home... it had started raining so no point in washing it... well this morning i wash it at a car wash and there are some scuffs on the bumper (which has to be a body shop thing since they painted it) and there are some scratches on my fender that werent there b4 the accident... i dont know if they were caused by the wreck (i dont think so i looks like they drug a strap or something againt my car). maybe the tow company.

I guess my best option is to send out an email to my adjuster, the body shop, and a service rep at my insurance department and let them straighten it out... i know i know i should have not accepted it without giving it a thourough look over, but it was too dirty to see the scuffs...

what you think?

sad but true

i did a look over... fact is the car was dusty as shit... its kinda hard to find scuff marks you really only catch when the light hits it when its cloudy outside and the car is far from reflective...

I hope its not too much of a hassle... but if they fight it and no one will fix it ill just got to every means i can to spread the word that they suck...

fuckin sucks, man. Definatly tell your adjuster you feel they missed some spots and have your insurance do the battle for you.

I would think they would stand by their work. I cant believe they didnt give it to you clean. When i got my trailblazer back from my accident it was washed inide and out

**predator** · 03-12-2007, 02:20 PM

ok so i talked to some peeps and the body shop guys just told me to bring it by next monday after the paint had set up a lil more and he would see if he could buff it all out...

so im good for now... Oh and i put on my LS1.com sticker so im a real winner now...

that is just a plain old professional courtesy that every dealer,body shop should have written in stone!

Post the name of the shop, so no one uses those chatin bastages!

They rooked you, that is why they did not fully detail it, knowing it was still messed up.

Tell them you are also posting negative reports on the internet.
