You should have never left and took pics of it where it was sitting. If they didn't want to do anything then you should have told them well if you guys didn't damage the car then I need you to contact the police for me as it appears someone has vandalized my car on your property

 

I would of told the manager to F*** OFF and then leave. What a messed up shop, I would never go there again.

 

That won't get his car fixed....he drove off the lot so he is basically screwed now. He has no evidence except a receipt that they did work. They will say the car was like that before it came in and it's his word against theirs.

 

i have a picture though. i got no receipt... they refused to give me that as well.

 

i called my local police and just asked. i have to make a civil case report on it since it happaned a while ago. i also have to bring in the picture and show it to them.

 

Yea he's got pics. Is it crack or anything when it was off the lift?

 

no you cant even see anything, it bended back out. but if u look under the skirt u can see marks and call me crazy but i can sort of see a dent there. ill take pics and post.

 

Pic doesn't show the dealer...he has no receipt from the dealer, pic doesn't have a date and time on it.....You can try man but there isn't enough evidence to say they did the damage.

 

I think as long as it's not crack or anything you should be fine. I think you'll be wasting your time reporting it to the cops.

 

True that....just don't take it there any more. Seems like a shady place if they can't even give you a receipt.

 

If you have proof, may be the picture, then small claims court.
You need also proof of payment, if cash, then you need the receipt. Credit card statement if you paid that way.
May be someone saw your car before and after, then possibly can serve as an eyewitness.

A last resort would be consumer affairs, then at least the business would be placed on a buyer beware list.

Good luck.

 

chain shop? Go up the corporate ladder.

independent? you're sol.

 

small claims court ...dont let them get away with this

 

if there is no scratches, dont even waste your time or the businesses time with this. you said it popped back out, so its not bent in permanent. they flex a lot. no big deal.

 

Well if all else fails, theres always eye for an eye.
