Still a no win situation. Unless you heard it as you were leaving the dealership, they could argue that some kids got to it Tuesday night.

Time to find another dealership to work on your car and return your life to a peaceful existance.

I'm with you on this - reality says otherwise fortunately.

The irrational always make irrational arguments....

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I checked my entire car after my A service and the service writer noticed me and came running out. He said, "what's wrong?" I replied, "I always check my car before leaving the dealership." And yes, I have a tq wrench in my trunk.

I learned long ago that you can't trust anyone to care for your car like you do.

Or so you'd think and hope!!!

One way or the other, I am safe, and so is everyone around me...

That doesn't mean that they are getting away scott-free however - the dealership should be expecting a friendly call from the case rep. at the CAC, as well as a nice discussion with the Corporate territory and market manager...
