It will take next to no time... So make sure its done right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for your cars sake, with alignments and minor stuff like that, please dont take it to ford as it could have been worse... Hope it all goes well though mate...

Posted 04/11/09 06:22 AM Share Posted 04/11/09 06:22 AM Good result, just make sure you get the car back and go over it before you accept it back. Check that the repair is done well but also check the rest of the car for new scratches including a rushed detailed job as they will more than likely shine up the whole car. Will look good but many times ive had my car back to find buffer marks left in the clear coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyXR6_Turbo Member 60 Member For: 16y 14d Posted 04/11/09 10:18 AM Author Share Posted 04/11/09 10:18 AM Gday all I took the car to the dealer today so they could repair the scratch. At the end of the day when I went to pick up the car they asked me "come have a look and see what you think!". The scratch was still obvious and a few new scratches as well as they tried to give it another buff!. The advisor then said " are you happy or would you like the whole panel resprayed?". The car is booked in for tomorrow for a few days at the panel shop... will send photos of the completed job. Good of the dealer I agree! They have been really good to me through warranty and basically adjust lubricate things like doors and window regulators for free (had some problems in the past though but all sorted, they know I mean business! ....)

White Knight Donating Members 73 Member For: 14y 11m 6d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 04/11/09 12:04 PM Share Posted 04/11/09 12:04 PM Sounds like they were still trying to take the cheap way out.I've had gutter rash on my rims since taking to a dealer among many other issues. But what can you do if you don't notice straight away? You're just lucky they copped to it. The dealership which serviced my car also did 30 over the posted speed limit EVERY time I took it to them too. That's the price you pay for warranty work I guess.
