And why? Why would Walmart help you upgrade your car? Best case is they will have it repaired. The whole idea of the legal system is to put you back to the same position as before.

So you're possibly going to dump $300-$400 per hour in legal fees to go after them for a bumper that's $1k max to replace? Best bet is to gently plead your case with management.

You failed by not inspecting the car very good when they were finished. Good luck to you though.

Better try again on that $1K....My car was hit a month ago by trash flying out of a city truck. It only put a small dent in the bumper and I just got a check for $1,000. With paint, patch etc. he's looking at least $2000.

Ok, $2k. I'm not an insurance estimator my friend. Of course, a new bumper cover is only $300 from Nissan and painting is likely $500-$700 depending on where you have it done. I'm still likely wrong right?

Still pointless to hire a lawyer for something like this.
