Well just got it home. After further inspection it is not too bad in all intents and purposes. It sucks to have to replace anything on a brand new car. It sucks even more to have to replace a custom exhaust. Besides denting/rashing the cans and bending the hanger. The worst will be waiting on a new one to be made and being delivered to put on. I have already been on the phone with Tony and he is going to take care of me. I believe I am now number 660+. And for the front it did not tear the bumper when the chin spoiler was being ripped off. The two tabs popped out and then it got rashed pretty bad. So at least the worst is over. I popped the tabs back in and should get a new chin spoiler at the first of next week. So then the wait on the exhaust. It could have been worse is all I can think. I know now I will only be taking the car to Nissan. If they screw it up we can settle up. Toyota screwed up my old car and I got it replaced....long story there.

As far as at least he is taking care of it...yes that is good. However I do not have money in hand. So not lawyering up yet. I should have the check Monday at least that is what I stated we shall see if he comes good.

What baffles me the most is the comment he made at the end stating he was waiting for that to happen. If you were waiting for that to happen shouldn't you at least consult with the customer and say "Hey man we are about to jack up your car and hey that custom exhaust dont worry about it we are going to jack those up for you too!" Or better yet don't perform the services to said car if you have no way of getting it in and out of the shop without damages.

Unprofessional only begins to describe what happened.

....apparently nice cars are frowned upon in this establishment.
