Default Look what the Acura dealer did!

some neat pics... The acura dealer buckled my hood while changing my oil. They lifted the car with the hood open right into the ceiling.... f'ers... I wouldn't expect this from a dealer but whatever. they replaced it.

That black paint job looks like it's in excellent shape! What wax are you using?

Those asshats did a wonderful job on the oil change...

Aloha,
Brandon

thats emabrassing for the tech and the dealership...worse thing is, i'd make sure to check the engine and oil if it was done by the same person responsible for your hood

whenever you can, doing your own oil change, getting under the car to get down and dirty with her is a with me.

I apologize for your suffering. I would have worked out something with them for the kind of "emotional damages" inflicted upon you.

Your girlfriend is laughing at you jk, if you play your cards right you could get more out of the dealer ( only if you a long time customer I should say ). You would be suprised what dealerships do to keep there customers.

Not all dealerships suck.. Last time I took my caR in for an oilchange, I got the redline treatment. I paid for the oil, (at cost basis) but what I didnt pay for wasa nice car wash & wax.... plus that pain in the *** dust on my wheels they got off via clay bar.

it sucks that it happened but at least they did it and that means they have to replace/fix it.

They must have very low ceilings in their garage. Most dealership bays have ceilings a hell of a lot taller than to do that.

yea, I am shocked the hood was able to hit the ceiling. I work at Nissan and we can lift titans and armadas with the hood open and still have 4 feet of clearance.
