What a crazy 72 hours. Here's my story. I picked up my new black 04 Friday evening. I had 48 hours of EP3 bliss! Then, Sunday night at about 10 I glanced out the window into my apartment's parking lot, and I noticed something that didn't look right. A silver Jetta was parked suspiciously close to my passenger side. Considering I parked at the other end of the parking lot to avoid most of the cars, I was a little irritated and something told me to go look.
As I walked up to my car, I was expecting to see a small ding or scratch on the door from the jetta's front door, but what I found sent me into complete shock - a golf ball size dent right behind the door on the crease along the fender, with a silver scratch about one inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long! The moron had swung open their rear door hard enough to make a dent about 3/4 inch deep! And she didn't even bother to move her car to try to hide what she did!:mad:
I won't repeat the words that came out of my mouth, or the thoughts that crossed my mind. I wanted so badly to fight, yell, or smash something! The car was only 48 hours old!!! After my wife calmed me down a little, I pulled out the rear speaker to see if I could push out the dent. I managed to work it out somewhat so that at least it was just a depression rather than a deep dent.
This morning I called the dent wizard, and they mentioned that my dealer was one of their locations. I called the service dept, and they said I could bring it in for an estimate, and then schedule an appt for a repair. Not satisfied with that, I called my salesman, and to my surprise, he said that with my new car purchase I get one free dent repair! He then told me the dent wizard guy would be in for a few more hours and set me up for a instant appointment.
Within twelve hours of the horror of finding my car dented, the damage was gone! Let me say that guy was incredible. He smoothed the fender crease and fixed the dent so well, my coworkers couldn't find it. He was even apologetic at the ever-so-slight ripple that was left - honestly, you cant even tell it was a dent, if you look very closely, it just looks like a minor ripple in the mirror finish of the paint. If you have a dent, I highly recommend the dent wizzard - their work is unbelievable.
Anyway, I just wanted to vent and get this off my chest.
Later.
