It struck my hood and windshield in quick succession and left scratches on both. The scratches on the hood are fvcking ridiculous and way too deep for buffing. Two scratches parallel, each about 1/2" long and maybe 1/8" wide It was like watching the whole thing in slow motion, too. Unfortunately there was way too much traffic for any sort of evasive maneuver, although I'm not sure there was anything I could do regardless of the traffic

They ruined the trim piece that's between the passenger window and the rear quarter window with some kind of solvent or something. It has all these spots all over it that aren't removable. When I went to pick it up I also found that the reverse lockout wasn't working and I could drag it right back into reverse without pushing down on the stick. I returned with the car and told them to fix it. They called a few days later and said it was all fixed. I drove 50 miles back out to PA AGAIN only to find that the problem was not remedied. I flipped out and left it there again also requiring that it be fully detailed due to the dirty seat and ruined side plastic piece. I came back and the car was detailed decently although the drivers seat was still dirty!!! The plastic piece was also still ruined. The reverse lockout however was fixed, turns out the stick itself spun around since the linkage underneath was undone to remove the trans. They blamed my dealer for the stick being incorrectly installed and I said it worked perfectly fine before I dropped it off. All in all the worst car experience Ive ever had.
That sucks.

i donno, perhaps you can fill it with touchup paint and sand it down later?

that's wat im doing right now on my G. filled it higher than surrounding paint like a zit and letting it dry for a month before i take a 2000grit sanding block on it. im doing 7-8 other spots since i decided to keep my G at least for another year or two.

I guess I probably should. I have over 2 years worth of DD chips on the front bumper, hood, a-pillars, and roof that I can do at the same time. Is there a feasible DIY for fixing chips on the wheels? I have a really bad one on the face rear driver wheel after Melody ran over some unavoidable debris when two cars collided directly in front of her a good while back.

I would never have brought it there but I was hoping the part was gonna be covered under warranty, which it wasn't. If I had known that I would NEVER have towed it there, I would have dropped the tranny myself at my friends garage. I was so fed up with dealing with them (the car was there for a month!) that I didn't even push the fact that the plastic was damaged and the seat was dirty. Im gonna suck that up myself and fix it just because I didn't want my car there a second longer!!!!
