    They washed my freakin car !!!!!

    &(*%$^&&*(_)()&^%*%$ As the title says.

    When I dropped it off Monday I said "DO NOT WASH".. Well as soon as they were done, and brought the car to the delivery bay, I got in and cranked it back up. Warning light came back on. Back into the nether regions of the dealer it goes, as I shout "DON"T WASH IT". 4 hours later, I leave with a loaner car off the lot, since they had to order more parts....... Well they call yesterday and the part they ordered didn`t work, so they ordered a different part of the suspension. Was supposed to be here this am and car done today. Do not wash it!......... They call today and say "Truck blew up so it won`t be done today". Tomorrow? Yes....... Do not wash.....

    Well the part got there by some other carrier, not their normal carrier. Cool, so the car will be ready today.

    I go to pick it up and it`s sitting in Service delivery bay, nice and clean Service lady came out quick, and said "I know, I know.." I went to lunch and when I came back it had been done.

    And it`s sprinkling out anyway.. So I head on home it was dry at home, so I hit the buckets (2) of course.


    Then start to look over the car. 2 things caught my eye right away so decided not to get a light and look for swirls.


    If you look closely, you can see some sort of marks in the paint.




    Off to the right side on this pic





    This is at the hatch/body seam on the passenger side. It seems like a "rubbery" scratch so maybe a brush with rubber rim, or hose coupling pull.






    Argghhhhhhhhhhhh !

    Well here`s the rest of the car. It`s tucked away in the garage. Car show tomorrow am if no rain.






















    Guess tomorrow I`ll check for swirls and other rids.

    It least it is white and won`t show the swirls like your recently departed black Vette. Got to invest in a bunch of "do not wash me" signs in English and Spanish.

    Re: They washed my freakin car !!!!!

    Sorry to hear this Ron, it`s sad. You already know how I feel about it. As soon as I could bring it to the high standards I expect that car it to be in, I`d be asking the dealer for something. They should be comping you oil changes, rotation and balance, somethinng (anything but washes) to compensate you for any extra work or product that you have to put in to it.

    Why should you have to work any harder to get your car where you want it to be? Just isn`t right. Man, I can`t even imagine how you`d have felt if it would have been your Saleen. I`m kiddin` of course, it`s no laughing matter.

    Now I will say and show. This ain`t just some small swirls now.

    .
    You want the dealer to touch that car again???

    I hope all the damage can be polished out. If you don`t want your car jacked up - you should just do that work yourself.

    Not necessarily but there are always accesories, parts, Corvette blankets, leather jackets, something to help make it right.

    I`m not gonna jam up the service advisor, she`s nice. But will show.

    Hey, I hadn`t done anything to it yet besides Liquid Natty`s Red.

    That`s what happens when you leave a black car in the FL sun too long.

    Maybe you can get that guy you met at the car show to help you spiff it up? You know, that guy that took care of your black one.

    Re: They washed my freakin car !!!!!

    Sorry Ron, I just can`t agree with you on protecting the Service Advisor. You put your trust in her and she didn`t protect your interests. Maybe it isn`t her fault but someone at that dealership is to blame. If you don`t make an issue out off it, someone else will be in your shoes.

    At the very least if I were going to let her off the hook, she`d know it and she`d feel obligated to take care of me anytime she saw me. If they can`t see fit to take better care of 100K vehicle and a customer of your status than they have to this point someone needs to hear about it. I`m just not that growlie of a customer but this bothers me. Do you want me to go talk to them for you?

    I swear it`s not even worth trying to keep things like new anymore. I`m so sick of "I don`t care..it`s not mine attitudes". Hopefully it looks ok in the sun tomorrow.
