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.

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.
 
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.

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 missed the thread explaining Ron got a bad @22 new white Z06 Vette. Sorry about dealer ignorance but congrats on the car WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
 
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. :)
 
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.

totaly agree, once your car is another persons hands for any reason you are screwed. Brought my garage queen Camaro in for an inspection sticker at local shop we do business with for repairs for our work trucks and I watched the manager open the door right into a planter out side and when I came right out and said something he denied it and was adamant it did not happen. I was 20 feet away jut inside the glass and heard the door hit the planter and it left a small dent and chip on the door edge. Need less to say they have lost my business spent 5K there over last year on our service trucks, I didn`t push the subject with there corporate office because I know what ever Bleep hole the want to fix it will not be up to my standards so for now I will live with it till it needs something bigger done at the only body shop I trust. I am sure at some point I will be rear ended by someone texting and driving. That happened to my last garage queen car with only a 1000 miles on it.

I think next toy car will be wife`s new jeep in few years get her the new one when it comes out in 2 years take hers jack it up big tires use it off road enjoy it and be ok with a few scratches that come with 4 wheeling and being out in public with the avg disrespectful idiot.

Think they`ll wonder where/why your business went?

No pics. She`s just really nice.

I had to apologize to her the first time I brought the car in, cuz she told me I`d have to leave it and not sure they could look at it since I had no appointment...... ( I didn`t take that well since it was a day old)

Nope I was pretty pissed when I was talking to him, then our in house diesel mechanic (he is a friend and does car shows almost every week and has even taken my car to a few shows) went up next the day and chewed him a new ^*&*(^(^( guy was still lying through his teeth that he didnt do it. Some people are just born liars. They know why but i`m not sure they care.
