Ok, got the car back and it runs as good as new... hope it lasts longer this time
Interesting story: I go to enterprise rent a car to return the ford fiesta that i've been driving since yesterday. As far as I know there were no significant damages to the body of the car so I paid very little attention during the walk around. But when I went to return it, the rep points out 3 dents on top of the roof ( which you can barely see under certain lighting condition). I never checked to see if the ROOF was damaged and the rep who rented me the car
never did point out to check the roof. It appears that now I'm responsible for the dents and I have to pay for them to fix it... after arguing about 30 mins and cussing them out at the same time
I realized this is getting nowhere. Long story short, I gave them my insurance info and told them to send me the estimates...
Learn from my mistake and next time you rent a car, check out every little detail and make sure they know about it before you take the car...
