Big Mistake!

So I was in a hurry and wanted to get my baby clean. I was passing by a "touchless" auto car wash and thought I'd give it a try. About 3/4 the way through the wash I hear a dull clunk on my roof. Come to find out one of the rubber hoses fell off from somewhere and made these little dents in the roof! I go into the station and talk to the manager and he tells me that for all he knows they always could have been there! Holy **** I'm pissed by now! I take it into my bodyshop and they quote me $1400 to fix it! Very nice.

I remember a long time ago waiting at one of those charity car washes where they wash your car for a donation. The car before me was just getting finished when I noticed literally 1000's of scratches in this guys black Jag. Evidently there was a broken wire in one of the "Window Cleaning" brushes that got bent down into the bristles. That was a close call......

The moral of this story boys and girls ..... always hand wash your baby yourself.

Love to for the satisfaction. But I've been in enough lawsuits to know that I would blow 5x this in laywer fees plus my time. Just not worth it....

I'll check into Dent Wizard, $100 or so sounds like a deal to me if they can do a good job. Anyone have experience of their results?
