mmm advice please
« on: 12 October 2009, 21:21 »
cleaned and waxed the car today. no new scratches-good.  then took the car for a service at a local specialist. on return, 3 small chips on the front wing- saw them almost instantly.  I can only assume it was done when leaning into the bonnet.  Do I just accept it or phone the guy and let him know/ see if he'll help fix it. I have ordered a new touch up stick, which I'm sure will do the trick, and ofcourse I don't know if he did actually do it, but i'm pretty sure???  Not sure.

If you value the relationship then I would probably keep quiet and accept it.... I am sure the touch up will sort it. It's always tricky when you take your car to someone you know. It's all ok until something goes wrong!

I thought you were selling up at one time Simon?? You still got the black beast then...  :wink:

yes was thinking at selling earlier this year but house hunting now instead.  But like everyone, as soon as I wash, and polish the car, I fall in love with it all over again.  So will be part of the mk4 crew for a while to come!!!  She's not going anywhere!

If you mention it he is just going to turn around and say to you that it wasn't him. Unless you do a walk around the car with him before you give it to him to confirm there are no scratches or point out existing ones (which I always do for this exact reason) then you dont have a leg to stand on I'm afraid.
